If you need service or assistance,

we suggest you follow these five steps:

1, Before calling for assistance...

Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.

If

your

refrlgemtor

will

not

operate:

 

 

 

 

l

Is the

electric

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

Is the

Refrigerator

 

Control

ON?

 

 

 

 

If

there

Is

a

mttllng

 

or

jlngllng

nolse

or

unfamlllar

sounds:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

l

Is something

on

top

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

defrosting

cycle,

or defrost

water

 

draining

in

the

defrost

 

pan.

 

 

 

 

 

If your Ice maker will not opemte:

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? 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 into a live circuit with the proper voltage? (See page 4.)

If a bulb Is burned out:

l See instructions for changing light bulbs on page 6.

Only use appliance bulbs.

It the motor seems to run too much:

l Is the condenser, behind the refrigerator, free of dust and lint?

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 lnterlor.

Remember: Motor running time depends on different

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.
