lf.You Need Service Or Assistance We suggest you follow these
steps:
1. Before calling for assistance . . .
Performance problems often resutt from little
things you can find and fix yoursetf without tools
of any kind.
If your refrigerator will not operate:
l ls the power supply cord plugged into a live
circuit with proper voltage? (See page 4.)
l Have you checked your home’s main fuses or
circuit breaker box?
l ls the Refrigerator Control ON?
If there Is a rattllng or Jlngllng nolse or unfa-
millar sounds:
l Is something on top of or behind the refrigerator
making 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 defrost cycle,
or defrost water draining in the defrost pan.
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 ls the signal arm ON . . . in the down position?
l Is the water valve turned on? Is water getting to
the ice maker?
If there Is water In the defrost pan:
l This is normal in hot, muggy weather. The pan
can even be half full. Make sure the refrigerator
is level so the pan does not overflow.
If the light does not work:
l Have you checked your home’s main fuses or
circuit breaker box?
l Is the power supply cord plugged in to a live
circuit with the proper voltage? (See page 4.)
If a bulb Is burned out:
Remember:
Motor running time depends on different things:
number of door openings, amount of food stored,
temperature of the room, setting of the controls.
Your new refrigerator may be larger than your
old one so it has more space to be cooled. lt 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.
