Whirlpool ETWM ws manual 7-&&w&E, Before calling for assistance, If you need assistance, YEif1

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 wlthout tools of any kind.

If	your	refrigerator	will not operate:
l	Is the	power supply cord		plugged	into	a live circuit
	with	the proper	voltage?	[See page	4	)

l Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit breaker box?

l Is the Refrigerator Control turned ON?

If there is a rattling or jingling noise, or other un- familiar sounds:

l Is something on top or behind the refrigerator mak- ing noise when the refrigerator ISrunning?

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 your ice maker will not operate:

l Has the freezer had enough time to get cold’ With a new refrigerator, this might take overnlght

l Is the signal arm ON tn 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 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 light does not work:

l Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit breaker box3

l Is the power supply cord plugged into a live circuit with the proper voltage7 (See page 4.)

If a bulb is burned out:

l See instructionsforchanging light bulbson page6 Use appliance bulbs only.

If the motor seems to run too much:

l Isthe condenser, behind the refrigerator, free of dust and lint’

lOn hot days. or If the room ISwarm. the motor natu-

rally runs longer

lIf the door has been opened a lot, the motor WIII 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 compati- ment All this means better refrigeration and may re- quire more running time than your old one
