1. Before calling for assisfance...

If you need service or assistance, we su gest you follow these four s7eps:

1. Before calling for assisfance...

Performance problems are sometimes caused by little things you can correct without tools. Before you call foe service, check this list.

If your rofrlgerator wltl not oporato: l Is the electric cord plugged in?

lIs a fuse blown or a circuit breaker tripped? l Is the Refrigerator Control dial turned ON? If your ko maker will not operato:

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 is water getting to the ice maker?

If thorn Is a rattling or Jlngllng nolso, or other unfamlllar sounds:

l Is something on top 01 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 fan, timer clicks for the defrosting cycle, defrost water draining into the defrost pan. If you have an ice maker, ycu will hear water fill the molds and the ice drop into the bin.

If there Is water In the dohost pan:

l In hot, muggy weather, this is normal. The pan can even be almost 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, replace the bulb with an appliance bulb no larger than 40 watts Then plug in the cord.

If the motor seems to run too much:

l Is the condenser, behind the base grill, 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 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.
