Whirlpool ED26MK manual Before calling for assistance, If you need assistance, If you need service

If you need service or assistance,

we suggest you follow these four steps:

1. Before calling for assistance.. .

Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any krnd

If your refrigerator will not operate: l Is the electric cord plugged in’

lIs a fuse blown or a circurt breaker tripped? l Is the Temperature Control turned ON?

If there is a rattling or jingling noise, or other unfamiliar sounds:

l Is something on top or behind the refrigerator mak- rng noise when the refrigerator is runnrng?

l New features on your new refrigerator make new sounds You may be hearing air flowrng 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 trme to get cold? With a new refrigerator, this mrght take overnight.

l Is the signal arm ON. In the down positron?

l Is the water valve turned on3 Is water getting to the ice maker7

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 lights aren’t working:

l Check fuses and crrcuit breakers. Make sure it’s plugged in.

If a bulb is burned out:

l See Instructions for changing light bulbs on page 7 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, or 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 intenor

Remember: Motor running trme depends on drf- ferent things, number of door openrngs. 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.
