arattling/ jlngling noise
There is water in the defrost pan
The motor seems to run too much
Is a bulb burned out?
Is the freezer cold enough to make ice? It could take overnight for the freezer to reach the proper temperature.
Is the ON/OFF lever in the ON (down) position? (See page 12.)
Is the water valve turned on?
Does the water line have a clog or leak?
Is something on top of or behind the refrigerator?
Some new sounds are normal. See “Understanding the sounds you may hear” on page 13.
This is normal on hot, muggy days. Make sure the refrigerator is level so the pan does not overflow.
Are the condenser coils dirtv?
Has the door been opened often? Has a larae amount of food been added at one time? The motor naturally run: longer if these things happen.
Is the room hot? If the room is too warm, the motor runs longer to keep the unit cool.
