If you need service or assistance, we suggest you follow these four steps:
I. Before calling for assistance.. .
Performance problems often result from little things You con find and fix Yourself without tools of any kind.
If your refrigerator will not operate:
l Is the electric cotd plugged in?
lIs Q fuse blown or a circuit breaker tripped? l Is the Temperature Control turned ON?
If there is a rattling or jingling noise, or other
,unfamlliar sounds:
l Is something on top or behind the refrigerator mak- ing noise when the refrigerator is running7
l New features on Your new refrigerator make new sounds. You may be hearing air 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 Has the freezer hod enough time to get cold? With a new refrtgerotor, this might take overnight.
l Is the signal arm ON...in the down position?
l Is the water valve turned on? Is water getting to the ice maker7
If there is water in the defrost pan:
l In hot, muggy weather. this is normal. The pan con even be half full. Make sure the refrigerator IS level so the pan doesn’t overflow.
If the light doesn’t work:
l Check fuses and circuit breakers. Make sure it’s plugged in.
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 Is the condenser, behind the base grille, free of dust and lint?
l On hot days, or if the room is worm, the motor naturally runs longer.
l If the door has been opened a lot, or if a large amount of food has been put in, the motor will 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 o regular freezer instead of Q frozen food compartment. All this means better refrigeration and may require more running time than your old one.
