Whirlpool ET16AK manual Troubleshoo/ng Con/nued, The Re Frigerator S Eems To Make To O Much Noise

Troubleshoo/ng (Con/nued...)

•Are the doors opened often?

• Expect the motor to run longer when this occurs. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as the food is removed.

• Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions?

• Refer to “Set The Controls” section (Page 5).

• Are the doors closed completely?

• Push the doors firmly shut. If they will not shut all the way, refer to “The Doors Will Not Close Completely” section (Page 20).

• Are the condenser coils dirty?

• This prevents air transfer and makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils. Refer to “Cleaning Your Refrigerator” section (Pages 14 and 15).

NOTE: Your new refrigerator will run longer than your old one due to its high efficiency motor.
