If you need service or help, we suggest you follow these three stem:
1. Before calling for service...
Performance problems are sometimes caused by little things you can correct without tools. Before you call for service, check this list.
If your refrigerator will not operate: l Is the electric cord plugged in?
lIs a fuse blown or a circuit breaker tripped?
l Is the Temperature Control dial turned ON? 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, | and | ISwater | getting | |
| to the | Ice | maker? |
|
|
|
|
| |
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 refrrgerator ISrunning?
l New features on your new refrigerator make new sounds. You may be hearing air flowing from the fans, tamer clicks for the defrosting cycle, defrost water drarning into the defrost pan. If you have an ice maker, you will hear water fill the molds and the ice drop into the bin.
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.
l The bulb may be burned out. Unplug the refriger- ator; remove the light shield; replace the bulb with an appliance bulb no larger than 40 watts. Re- place the light shield and plug in the cord.
If the motor seems to run too much:
l Is the condenser, behind the base grill, free of dust and Irnt?
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 WIII 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. It provides colder and more unrform temperatures for better food storage. All this means better refrigeratron and may require more running time than your old one.
