■Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See the “Using the Controls” section.

■Is the refrigerator not cooling? For models with digital controls, turn the unit OFF then ON again to reset. See the “Using the Controls” section. If this does not correct the problem, call for service.

■Are the air vents blocked in the refrigerator? Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. See the “Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” section for the location of air vents.

See the “Ice Maker and Storage Bin/Bucket” section.
