If You Choose to Turn the Refrigerator Off Before You Leave:

1.Remove all food from the refrigerator.

2.If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day ahead of time.

When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (up) position or move the switch to the OFF (right) setting.

3.Depending on the model, turn the Temperature Control or Refrigerator Control to OFR See "Using the Controls."

4.Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.

5.Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors 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.If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day ahead of time.

Disconnect the water line from the back of the refrigerator.

When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (up) position or move the switch to the OFF (right) setting.

2.Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen food in dry ice.

3.Empty the ice bin.

4.Depending on the model, turn the Temperature Control or Refrigerator Control to OFR See "Using the Controls."

5.Unplug refrigerator.

6.Empty water from the defrost pan.

7.Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.

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

9.Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator so it rolls more easily OR screw in the leveling legs so they don't scrape the floor. See "Adjust the Doors."

10.Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the back of the refrigerator.

When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to the "Installation Instructions" section for preparation instructions. Also, if your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, remember to reconnect the water supply to the refrigerator.

the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

Is control on? Make sure the refrigerator control is on. See "Using the Control."

The motor seems to run too much

Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its high-efficiency compressor and fans. The unit may run even longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, the door is opened often, or if the door has been left open.

The refrigerator seems noisy

Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below are listed some normal sounds with explanations.

Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize performance.

Hissing/Rattling - flow of refrigerant, movement of water lines, or from items placed on top of the refrigerator.

Popping - contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially during initial cool-down.

Water running/dripping - may be heard when water melts during defrosting and runs into the drain pan.
