PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

 

 

 

 

 

 

REFRIGERATOR DOES

• May be in defrost cycle when motor does not operate for about 30 minutes.

 

 

NOT OPERATE

• Temperature control is in “ position.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• If interior light is not on, refrigerator may not be plugged in at wall outlet.

 

 

 

 

• If plug is secure and the refrigerator still fails to operate, plug a lamp or a small

 

 

 

 

appliance into the same outlet to determine if there is a tripped circuit breaker or

 

 

 

 

burned-out fuse.

 

 

 

 

 

 

MOTOR OPERATES

• Modern refrigerators with more storage space and a larger freezer compartment

 

 

FOR LONG PERIODS

require more operating time.

 

 

 

 

• Normal when refrigerator is first delivered to your home—usually requires

 

 

 

 

24 hours to completely cool down.

 

 

 

 

• Large amounts of food placed in refrigerator to be cooled or frozen.

 

 

 

 

• Hot weather—frequent door openings.

 

 

 

 

• Door left open.

 

 

 

 

• Temperature control is set too cold. Refer to Temperature Controls section.

 

 

 

 

• Grille and condenser need cleaning. Refer to Care and Cleaning section.

 

 

 

 

 

 

MOTOR STARTS AND

• Temperature control starts and stops motor to maintain even temperatures.

 

 

STOPS FREQUENTLY

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

VIBRATION OR RATTLING

• If refrigerator vibrates, more than likely it is not resting solidly on the floor.

 

 

 

 

The front leveling legs need adjusting, or floor is weak or uneven. Refer to

 

 

 

 

Rollers in Preparation section.

 

 

 

 

• If dishes vibrate on shelves, try moving them. Slight vibration is normal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS

These sounds are normal and do not indicate a need for service.

The new high efficiency compressor runs faster and will have a higher pitch hum or pulsating sound while operating.

Defrost timer and refrigerator control click on and off.

The fan circulating air inside the freezer which keeps the temperatures throughout.

Water dropping on the defrost heater causing a sizzling, hissing or popping sound during the defrost cycle.

The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils sounds like boiling water or a gurgling noise.

Cracking or popping of cooling coils caused by expansion and contraction during defrost and refrigeration following defrost.

Water dripping as it melts from the evaporator and flows to the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

Icemaker (on some models):

The icemaker water valve will buzz when the icemaker fills with water. If the feeler arm is in the (down) position it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to water. Keeping the feeler arm in the (down) position before it is hooked up to water can damage the icemaker. To prevent this, raise the feeler arm to the (up) position. This will stop the buzzing.

The sound of cubes dropping into the bin and water running in pipes as icemaker refills.
