If you need service or assistance, we suggest you follow these four steps:
1. Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from lIttIe things you con find and fix yourself wlthout tools of any kind
If your refrigerator will not operate:
l | Is the | power supply | cord | piugged | Into | o live | clrcult | |||
| with the | proper | voltage7 | [See page | 4 | ) |
| |||
l | Hove | you | checked |
| your home’s | main | fuses or | clrcult | ||
| breaker |
| box7 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
l | Is the | Temperature |
| Control | turned | ON’ |
|
|
|
If there is a ruftling or jingling noise, or other un- familiar sounds:
l Is something on top or behind the refrigerator mak-
ing no/se when the refrrgerator IS runnrng’
l New features on your new refrigerator make new sounds You may be hearing air flowing from the
fans, timer clicks for the defrosting cycle, defrost water draining into the defrost pan
If your ice maker will not operate:
l Has the freezer hod enough time to get cold7 With a
| new | refrigerator, | this | might | take overnight | ||
l | Is the | signal | arm | ON | in the | down position7 | |
l | Is the | water | valve | turned | on7 | Is water getting to the |
ice maker’
If there is water in the defrost pan:
l In hot, muggy weather, this IS normal The pan con
even be half full Make sure the refrigerator IS level so the pan doesn’t overflow
If the lights are not working:
l Hove you checked your home’s main fuses or clrcult breaker box?
l Is the power supply cord plugged Into a live circuit
with the proper voltage? [See page 4 )
If a bulb is burned out:
l See instructlons for changing light bulbs on page 7
Use appliance bulbs only.
If the motor seems to run too much:
l | Is the | condenser, | behlnd | the | base | gnlle, | free | of dust | |||
| and | lint? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
l | On hot days, | or | if the | room | IS worm, | the | motor | natu- | |||
| rally | runs | longer. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
l | If the | door | has | been | opened | a | lo?, | or If a | large | ||
| amount | of | food has been put in, the motor will run | ||||||||
| longer | to | cool | down | the | interior |
|
|
|
Remember: Motor running time depends on dlf-
ferent things: number of door openings, amount of
food stored, temperature of the room, setting of the controls.
And, your new refrigerator may be larger than your old one so it has more space to be cooled It also has a regular freezer instead of a frozen food compati-
ment All this means better refrigeration and may re- quire more running time than your old one
