If lvou need service or assistance, we suggest yo’J follow these four steps:

1. Before calling for assistance.. .

Performance problems often result frorn little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.

If your refrigerator will not operate:

l Is the electric cord plugged in7

lIs a fuse blown or a circuit breaker tripped? l Is the Temperature Control turned ON?

If there Is a rattling or jlngllng nolse, or other unfamlllar sounds:

l Is something on top or behind the refrigerator mak- ing noisewhen the refrigerator is running?

l New features on your new refrrgerator make new sounds. You may be hearing arr flowrng 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 had enough time to get cold? With a new refrigerator, this might take overnight.

l Is the srgnal arm ON...rn the down positton

l Is the water valve turned on? Is water getting to the Ice maker?

If there Is water In the defrost pan:

l In hot, muggy weather, this is normal. The pan can even be half full. Make sure the refrigerator ISlevel 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 instructrons 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 lint7

l On hot days, or if the room is warm. 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, settrng 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 a regular freezer instead of a frozen food compartment. All this means better refrigeration and may require more running time than your old one.
