If you need service or assistance, we suggest you follow these four 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 refrfgerator will not operate:
l Is the electric cord plugged in?
lIs a fuse blown or a crrcurt breaker trapped? l Is the Temperature Control turned ON7
If there Is a rattling or jlngllng nolse, or other unfamlllar sounds:
l Issomething on top or behind the refrigerator mak- ing norsewhen the refrigerator is running’
l New features on your new refrigerator make new sounds You may be hearing air flowing from the fans, timer clrcks for the defrosting cycle, defrost water draining Into the defrost pan
If your ice maker will not operate:
l Has the freezer had enough time to get cold7 With a new refrigerator, this mrght take overnight
l Is the signal arm ON...rn the down positron?
l Is the water valve turned on? Is water getting to the ice maker?
If there Is water in the defrost pan:
l In hot, muggy weather, this ISnormal The pan can even be half 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
If a bulb is burned out:
l See instructions for changing light bulbs on page 7 Use appliance bulbs only.
If the motor seems to run too much:
l Is the condenser, behind the base grille, 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 thus means better refrigeration and may require more running time than your old one
