Refrigerator 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.

„„ 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.

„„ Are controls on? Make sure the refrigerator controls are on. See page 3.

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

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

Temperature is too warm

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

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

„„ Large load of food added? Allow several hours for refrig- erator to return to normal temperature.

„„ Controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions? Adjust the controls a setting colder. Check temperature in 24 hours. See page 3.

There is interior moisture buildup

NOTE: Some moisture buildup is normal.

„„ Humid room? Contributes to moisture buildup.

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

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, doors are opened often or if the doors have 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 refrig- erator that you did not notice from your old model. Below are listed some normal sounds with explanations.

„„ Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice maker.

„„ Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize perfor- mance.

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

„„ Sizzling/Gurgling - water dripping on the heater during defrost cycle.

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

„„ Water running - may be heard when water melts during the defrost cycle and runs into the drain pan.

„„ Creaking/Cracking - occurs as ice is being ejected from the ice maker mold.

The doors will not close completely

„„ Door blocked open? Move food packages away from door.

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

The doors are difficult to open

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