Moving

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

1.Remove all food from the convertible refrigerator/freezer and pack all frozen food in dry ice.

2.Turn the lower compartment control to OFF. Turn the upper compartment control to FREEZE. See “Using the Controls.”

3.Unplug your convertible refrigerator/freezer.

4.Empty the water from the defrost pan. Hand wash, rinse and dry it thoroughly.

5.Hand wash, rinse and dry removable parts and interior surfaces thoroughly.

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

7.Unlock the casters so that the convertible refrigerator/freezer rolls easily.

8.If you have not installed the casters, raise the front of the convertible refrigerator/freezer so it rolls more easily. See “Adjust the Doors.”

9.Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the convertible refrigerator/freezer cabinet.

When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to the “Installation Instructions” section for preparation instructions.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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

Your convertible refrigerator/freezer will not operate

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 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 breaker.

Is the Lower Compartment Control turned to the OFF position? See “Using the Controls.”

Is the convertible refrigerator/freezer defrosting? Recheck to see if the convertible refrigerator/freezer is operating in

30 minutes. Your convertible refrigerator/freezer will regularly run an automatic defrost cycle.

The lights do not work

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

Is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See “Changing the Light Bulbs.”

There is water in the defrost drain pan

Is the convertible refrigerator/freezer defrosting? The water will evaporate. It is normal for water to drip into the defrost pan.

Is it more humid than normal? When it is humid, expect that the water in the defrost pan will take longer to evaporate.

The motor seems to run too much

Is the room temperature hotter than normal? The motor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures, your motor will run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, it will run even more.

Has a large amount of food just been added to the convertible refrigerator/freezer? Adding a large amount of food warms the convertible refrigerator/freezer. The motor normally will run longer to cool the convertible refrigerator/freezer back down.

Are the doors opened often? The motor will run longer when this occurs. Conserve energy by getting all items out at one time, keeping food organized, and closing the door as soon as possible.

Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See “Using the Controls.”

Are the doors closed completely? Close the doors firmly. If they do not close completely, see “The doors will not close completely” later in this section.

Are the condenser coils dirty? This prevents air transfer and makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils. See “Cleaning.”

NOTE: Your new convertible refrigerator/freezer will run longer than your old one due to its high-efficiency motor.

The convertible refrigerator/freezer seems to make too much noise

The sounds may be normal for your convertible refrigerator/ freezer. See “Normal Sounds.”

The upper compartment front liner is warm

The warmth is probably due to normal operation of the automatic exterior moisture control. Additionally, the convertible refrigerator/ freezer is equipped with a heater to keep the convertible refrigerator/ freezer operating properly when the ambient temperature drops too low.

Temperature is too warm

Are the air vents blocked in either compartment? This prevents cold air movement between the compartments. Move objects away from the air vents. See “Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” for air vent locations.

Are the door(s) opened often? The convertible refrigerator/ freezer will warm when this occurs. Keep the convertible refrigerator/freezer cool by getting all items out at one time, keeping food organized, and closing the door as soon as possible.
