If you need service or assistance
We suggest you follow these steps:
1. Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.
It your refrigerator will not operate:
=is the power supply cord plugged Into a live circuit with proper voltage? (See page 4.)
0 Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit breaker box?
* 1sthe Refrigerator Control ON?
If there is a rattling or jingling noise or unfamiliar sounds:
l IS something on top of or behind the refrigerator making noise when the refrigerator IS running?
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, or defrost water draining in the defrost pan.
If your ice maker will not operate:
l Has the freezer had enough time to get cold? With a new refrigerator, this might take overnight
a is the signal arm ON...in the down position?
=:s the water valve turned on7 Is water getting to the ice maker?
Remember:
Voter running time depends on different things: number of door openings, amount of food stored, temperature of the room, setting of the controls.
Your new refrigerator may be larger than your old one so it has more space to be cooled. It also nas a regular freezer instead of a frozen food com- oartment. All this means better refrigeration and nay require more running time than your old one.
