TROUBLESHOOTING

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

Your refrigerator will not operate

Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Has a household fuse or circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.

Is the refrigerator or freezer control turned to the OFF position? See “Using the Control(s).”

Is the refrigerator defrosting? Recheck to see if the refrigerator is operating in 30 minutes. Your refrigerator will regularly run an automatic defrost cycle.

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

Are the doors opened often? The motor will run longer when this occurs. Conserve energy by getting all items out at one time, keeping food organized, and closing the door as soon as possible.

Are the controls not set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See “Using the Control(s).”

Are the doors not closed completely? Close the doors firmly. If they do not close completely, see “The doors will not close completely” later in this section.

Are the condenser coils dirty? This prevents air transfer and makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils. See “Cleaning.”

Are the door gaskets not sealed all the way around? Contact a technician or other qualified person.

NOTE: Your new refrigerator will run longer than your old one due to its high-efficiency motor.

The lights do not work

Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See “Changing the Light Bulb(s).”

Has the door been open more than 10 minutes? When the door is held open for more than 10 minutes, the “Door Open” indicator light will flash and the interior lights will shut off. See “Door Open” in “Using the Control(s).”

There is water in the defrost drain pan

Is the refrigerator defrosting? The water will evaporate. It is normal for water to drip into the defrost pan.

Is it more humid than normal? When it is humid, expect that the water in the defrost pan will take longer to evaporate.

The motor seems to run too much

Is the room temperature hotter than normal? The motor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures, expect your motor to run about 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, it will run even more.

Has a large amount of food just been added to the refrigerator? Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. The motor normally will run longer to cool the refrigerator back down.

The refrigerator seems to make too much noise

The sounds may be normal for your refrigerator. See “Normal Sounds.”

The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice

Has the ice maker just been installed? The ice bin holds 14 to 17 lbs. (6.4 to 7.7 kg) of ice. The ice bin can take three to four days to completely fill, if no ice is used during this time.

Is the freezer temperature cold enough to produce ice? Wait 24 hours after ice maker hookup for ice production. See “Using the Control(s).”

Is the ice maker wire shutoff arm in the OFF (wire shutoff arm up) position (on some models)? Lower wire shutoff arm to the ON (wire shutoff arm down) position. See “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

Is the water line shutoff valve to the refrigerator not turned on? Turn on the water valve. See “Connect Water Line to Refrigerator” in the Installation Instructions.

Is an ice cube jammed in the ice maker ejector arm? Remove the ice from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil. See “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

Does the ice maker mold have water in it or has no ice been produced? Make sure your refrigerator has been connected to a water supply and the supply shutoff valve is turned on. See “Connect Water Line to Refrigerator” in the Installation Instructions.

Has a large amount of ice just been removed? Allow three to four days for an empty ice bin to completely fill, if no ice is used during this time.
