TROUBLESHOOTING

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

Popping - contraction/expansion

of

inside walls, especially

 

during initial cool-down.

 

 

 

Water

running/dripping - may be heard when

ice melts

The refrigerator will not operate

during

defrosting and water runs

into

the drain

pan.

Door

blocked open? Move food

packages away from door.

• Bin or shelf in the way? Push bin or shelf back in the correct position.

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.

Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Is outlet working? Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is working.

Household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

Control(s) on? Make sure the refrigerator control is on. See "Using the Control(s)."

New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator to cool completely.

NOTE: Adjusting the temperature control(s) to coldest setting will not cool the refrigerator more quickly.

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.

Crisper cover in the way? Make sure the crisper cover is fully pushed in, so that the back rests on the supports.

The door is difficult to open

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets and contact surfaces with mild soap and warm water. Rinse and dry with soft cloth.

Temperature is too warm

New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator to cool completely.

Door opened often or left open? Allows warm air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep door fully closed.

Large load of food added? Allow several hours for refrigerator to return to normal temperature.

Control(s) set correctly for the surrounding conditions? Adjust the control(s) a setting colder. Check temperature in 24 hours. See "Using the Control(s)."

There is interior moisture buildup

NOTE: Some moisture buildup is normal.

Humid room? Contributes to moisture buildup.

Door opened often or left open? Allows humid air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep door fully closed.
