The power supply cord is unplugged.	Firmly plug the cord into a live outlet with proper voltage.

A household fuse or circuit breaker has tripped.	Replace the fuse or reset the circuit.

A light bulb is loose in the socket.	Turn the refrigerator control to OFF. Disconnect the refrig-
	erator from the electrical supply. Gently remove the bulb
	and reinsert. Then reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical
	supply and reset the refrigerator control.

A light bulb has burned out.	Replace with an appliance bulb of the same wattage, size,
	and shape. See the “Changing the light bulbs” section.

There is water in the defrost drain pan

Check if ...	Then ...
The refrigerator is defrosting.	The water will evaporate. It is normal for water to drip into
	the defrost pan.

It is more humid than normal.

Expect that the water in the defrost pan will take longer to evaporate. This is normal when it is hot or humid.

Water in the defrost pan is overflowing.

Check to make sure your refrigerator is level. (See the “Leveling” section.) If it is still overflowing there is probably something wrong with the refrigerator. Call the Consumer Assistance Center.
