If you need service or assistance, we suggest you follow these four steps:
1. Before calling for assistance.. .
Performance problems often result from little thongs you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind
If your refrigerator will not operate:
If your ice maker will not operate:
l Has the freezer had enough time toget cold’ With a new refrigerator, this might take overnight.
l Is the srgnal arm ON In the down position?
lIs the water valve turned on7 Is water getting to the Ice maker?
l Is the electric cord plugged In?
lIs a fuse blown or a circuit breaker tripped? l Is the Temperature Control turned ON?
If there is a rattling or jingling noise, or other unfamiliar sounds:
l Is somethrng on top or behrnd the refrigerator mak- ing noise when the refrigerator ISrunnrng?
l New features on your new refrigerator make new sounds. You may be hearing air flowrng from the fans, trmer clrcks for the defrosting cycle, defrost water drainrng into the defrost pan.
If there is water in the defrost pan:
l In hot, muggy weather, this ISnormal 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 circuit breakers. Make sure it’s plugged in
If a bulb is burned out:
l See rnstructions 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 Ilnt?
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 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.
