If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic
ice maker, shut off the ice maker water supply a
day ahead of time. Disconnect the water line. After
the last supply of ice drops, lift the signal arm to turn
off the ice maker.
Remove all food. Pack frozen foods in dry ice.
Unplug the refrigerator and clean it thoroughly.
Remove everything that comes out. Wrap all parts
well and tape them together so they don’t shift and
rattle.
Screw in the leveling rollers; tape the doors shut;
tape the electric cord to the cabinet. When you get
to your new home, put everythIng back, level it.
reconnect the water supply and refer to the “Before
Using., ,” page.
If you need service or assistance, we suggest you follow these four steps: I. Before calling for assistance.. .
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 Refrrgerator Control turned
ON7
if there is a rattling or jingling noise, or other
unfamiliar 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 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 ilght 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
6. Use appliance bulbs only.
it the motor seems to run too long:
l
Is the condenser, behind the refrigerator, free of dust
and lint?
l
On hot days, or if the room is warm, the motor natu-
rally runs longer
l
If the door has been opened a lot, 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.
