If you need service or assistance, we suggest you follow these four steps:

Performance problems often result from little things
You can find and fix Yourself without tools of any kind.
If your refrigerator will not operate:
l
Is the electric cord plugged in?
l
Is a fuse blown or a circuit breaker tripped?
l
Is the Temperature Control turned ON?
If there Is a rattling or Jlngllng noise, or other
unfamlllar sounds:
l
Is something on top or behind the refrigerator mak-
ing noise when the refrigerator is running?
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 had enough time to get cold? With
a new refrigerator, this might take overnight.
l
Is the signal arm ON...in the down position?
l
Is the water valve turned on? 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 can
even be half full. Make sure the refrigerator is level
so the pan doesn’t overflow.
If the light doesn’t work:
l
Check fuses and circuit breakers. Make sure it’s
plugged in.
If a bulb Is burned out:
l
See instructions for changing light bulbs on page
8 Use appliance bulbs only.
If the motor seems to run too much:
l
Is the condenser, behind the base grille. free of
dust and lint?
l
On hot days, 01 if the room is warm, the motor
naturally runs longer.
l
If the door has been opened a lot, 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 dif-
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
compartment. All this means better refrigeration and
may require more running time than your old one.
