l Is the Refrtgerator Control turned ON?

If there is a rattling or jingling noise, or other un- familiar sounds:

l Is something on top or behind the refrigerator mak- ing noise when the refrigerator IS running?

l New features on your new refrigerator make new sounds You may be hearing arr flowing from the fans, timer clicks for the defrosting cycle, defrost water draining Into the defrost pan

If your ice maker will not operate:

l In hot, muggy weather, this IS normal. The pan can even be half full. Make sure the refrrgerator is level so the pan doesn’t overflow.

It the light does not work:

l Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit breaker box3

l Is the power supply cord plugged into a live circuit with the proper voltage? [See page 4 )

If a bulb is burned out:

l See Instructions for changing light bulbs on page 7 Use appliance bulbs only.

If the motor seems to run too much:

l Isthe condenser, behind the refrigerator, free of dust and lint7

lOn hot days, or if the room is warm, the motor natu- rally runs longer.

6 If the door has been opened a lot, the motor WIII run longer to cool down the interior.

Remember: Motor running time depends on dif- ferent things: number of door openings, amount of food stored, temperature of the room, setting of the controls

And, your new refrigerator may be larger than your old one so it has more space to be cooled It also has a regular freezer instead of a frozen food compari- ment All this means better refrrgeration and may re- quire more running time than your old one
