The refrigerator will not operate
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded
3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
•
Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Replace
the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues,
call an electrician.
Controls on? Make sure the refrigerator controls are on. See
"Using the Control(s)."
New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the
refrigerator to cool completely.
NOTE: Adjusting the temperature controls to coldest setting
will not cool either compartment more quickly.
The motor seems to run too much
Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its
high-efficiency
compressor and fans. The unit may run even
longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, doors are
opened often, or if the doors have been left open.
Sizzling/Gurgling
- water dripping on the heater during
defrost cycle
Popping - contraction/expansion
of inside walls, especially
during initial cool-down
Water running - may be heard when ice melts during the
defrost cycle and water runs into the drain pan
Creaking/Cracking
- occurs as ice is being ejected from the
ice maker mold.
The doors will not close completely
•
Door blocked open? Move food packages away from door.
•
Bin or shelf in the way? Push bin or shelf back in the correct
position.
The doors are difficult to open
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable
cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,
or fire.
•
Gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets and contact surfaces
with mild soap and warm water. Rinse and dry with soft cloth.
The lights do not work
Is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See
"Changing the Light Bulbs."
is the dispenser light set to OFF? On some models, the
dispenser light will operate only when a dispenser lever/pad is
pressed. If you want the dispenser light to stay on
continuously, set the dispenser light to ON. See "Water
Dispenser."
The refrigerator seems noisy
Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this
reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new
refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below are
listed some normal sounds with explanations.
•
Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice
maker
Pulsating - fans/compressor
adjusting to optimize
performance
Hissing/Rattling
- flow of refrigerant, movement of water
lines, or from items placed on top of the refrigerator
Temperature is too warm
•
New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the
refrigerator to cool completely.
•
Door(s) opened often or left open? Allows warm air to enter
refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep doors fully
closed.
Large load of food added? Allow several hours for
refrigerator to return to normal temperature.
Controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions?
Adjust the controls a setting colder. Check temperature
in
24 hours. See "Using the Control(s)."
