The refrigerator will not operate

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Are controls on? Make sure the refrigerator controls are on. See “Using the Controls.”

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

NOTE: Adjusting the temperature controls to coldest setting will not cool either compartment 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, 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 refrigerator 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 performance
