Imprimer la pageThe motor seems to run too much
Is the room temperature hotter than normal?
Expect the motor to run longer under warm conditions.
At normal room temperatures, expect your motor to run
about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer
conditions, expect it to run even more of the time.
Has a large amount of food just been added to the
refrigerator?
Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. It
is normal for the motor to run longer in order to cool the
refrigerator back down. See the "Food Storage Guide"
section.
Are the doors opened often?
Expect the motor to run longer when this occurs. In
order to conserve energy, try to get everything you
need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food
organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as
soon as the food is removed.
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions?
Refer to the "Setting the Controls" section.
Are the doors closed completely?
Push the doors firmly shut. If they will not shut all the
way, see "The doors will not close completely" later in
this section.
Are the condenser coils dirty?
This prevents air transfer and makes the motor work
harder. Clean the condenser coils. Refer to the
"Cleaning Your Refrigerator" section.
NOTE: Your new refrigerator will run longer than your old
one due to its high efficiency motor.
The refrigerator seems to make too much
noise
The sounds may be normal for your refrigerators.
Refer to the "Understanding Sounds You May Hear"
section.
Off-taste or odor in the ice
Are the plumbing connections new, causing
discolored or off-flavored ice?
Discard the first few batches of ice.
Have the ice cubes been stored for too long?
Throw old ice away and make a new supply.
Has food in the refrigerator been wrapped properly?
Refer to the "Food Storage Guide" section.
Do the freezer and ice bin need to be cleaned?
See the "Cleaning Your Refrigerator" section.
Does the water contain minerals (such as sulfur)?
A filter may need to be installed to remove the minerals.
The divider between the two compartments is
warm
The warmth is probably due to normal operation of the
automatic exterior moisture control.
Temperature is too warm
Are the air vents blocked in either compartment?
This prevents the movement of cold air from the
freezer to the refrigerator.
Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. Refer
to "Ensuring Proper Air Circulation" for the location of
air vents.
Are the door(s) opened often?
Be aware that the refrigerator will warm when this
occurs. In order to keep the refrigerator cool, try to get
everything you need out of the refrigerator at once,
keep food organized so it is easy to find, and close the
door as soon as the food is removed.
Has a large amount of food just been added to the
refrigerator or freezer?
Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. It
can take several hours for the refrigerator to return to
the normal temperature.
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions?
Refer to the "Setting the Controls" section.
There is interior moisture build-up
Are the air vents blocked in the refrigerator?
Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. Refer
to "Ensuring Proper Air Circulation" for the location of
air vents.
Is the door opened often?
To avoid humidity build-up, try to get everything you
need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food
organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as
soon as the food is removed. (When the door is
opened, humidity from the room air enters the
refrigerator. The more often the door is opened, the
faster humidity builds up, especially when the room
itself is very humid.)
Is the room humid?
It is normal for moisture to build up inside the
refrigerator when the room air is humid.
