Vacation and Moving Care

Vacations

If you choose to leave the refrigerator on while you’re away, use up any perishables and freeze other items.

If you choose to turn the refrigerator off before you leave, follow these steps.

1.Remove all food from the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

2.Turn the control to the off position. See “Using the Control” and “Defrost and Clean the Freezer.”

3.Clean the refrigerator, and dry it well.

4.Tape rubber or wood blocks to the door or doors (depending on your model) to prop them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold from building up.

Moving

When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home, follow these steps to prepare it for the move.

1.Remove all food from the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

2.Turn the control to the off position. See “Using the Control” and “Defrost and Clean the Freezer.”

3.Unplug the refrigerator.

4.Empty the water from the defrost pan.

5.Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.

6.Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.

7.Tape the door or doors (depending on your model) shut and the power cord to the refrigerator cabinet.

When you get to your new home, put everything back and see the “Installation Instructions” section for proper installation.

Power Interruptions

If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door or doors closed (depending on your model) to help food stay cold and frozen.

If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the following:

Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.

Place 2 lbs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot (28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for 2 to 4 days.

If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or can perishable food at once.

REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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

The refrigerator isn’t cooling

Is the temperature control set at the mid-setting? The control is preset at the factory to the correct mid-setting. After connecting power, wait 1 hour before checking temperature.

NOTE: Adjusting the control to coldest setting will not cool either compartment more quickly.

Temperature is too warm

Check the following:

Is the door opened often?

Has a large amount of food just been added to the refrigerator or freezer?

Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions?

The motor seems to run too much

Check the following:

Is the room temperature hotter than normal?

Has a large amount of food just been added to the refrigerator?

Is the door opened often?

Is the door not closed completely?

There is interior moisture buildup

Check the following:

Is the door opened often?

Is the room humid?

Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions?

The door will not close completely

Check the following:

Are food packages blocking the door open?

Are the ice cube trays out of position?

Was the door removed during product installation and not properly replaced?

The door is difficult to open

Is the gasket dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets with mild soap and warm water.
