Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.

Refrigerator Operation

Your refrigerator will not operate

The door will not close completely

■Are the shelves out of position? Put the shelves back into their correct positions. See “Refrigerator Features” for more information.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

■Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

■Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit.

■Is the temperature control on? Turn the temperature control knob to the operating position. See “Using the Control.”

■New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator to cool completely.

The motor seems to run too much

Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its high-efficiency compressor and fans. The unit may run even longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, the door is opened often, or if the door has been left open.

The refrigerator seems noisy

Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below are listed some normal sounds with explanations.

■Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize performance.

■Hissing/Rattling - flow of refrigerant, movement of water lines, or from items placed on top of the refrigerator.

■Popping - contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially during initial cool-down.

■Water running/dripping - may be heard when water melts during defrosting and runs into the drain pan.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

■Is the gasket sticking? Clean the gasket and the surface that it touches. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the gasket following cleaning.

The door is difficult to open
