SERVICE
Fig. 12)
Before calling for Service...
Performance
problems
often result from little things you
can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.
If your refrigerator
will not operate:
- Is the electric cord plugged
into a live circuit with proper
voltage (see Fig. 4)
- Have you checked your home's main fuses?
If there are noises or vibrations:
Most of the sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor,
walls and cabinets can make the sounds seem louder.
The following
describes
the kinds of sounds that might be
new to you, and what may be making them.
- Slight hum
You may hear the refrigerator's
fan motor and moving air.
- Clicking
sounds
The thermostat
makes a definite click when the appliance
stops running.
It also makes a sound when the appliance
starts.
The defrost timer will click when the defrost cycle starts
and stops.
- Water sounds
When the refrigerator
stops running, you may hear gurgling
in the tubing for a few minutes after it stops. You may also
hear the defrost water running into the defrost water pan.
- Ice maker sounds (optional)
If your refrigerator
has an ice maker, you may hear buzzing
(from the water valve), trickling water and the clatter of the
ice dumped into the bin.
- If your ice maker will not operate:
- Has the freezer had enough time to get cold? With a new
refrigerator, this might take overnight.
- Is the signal arm in the down position?
- Is the water
valve turned
on? Is water getting
to ice
maker?
If there is water in the defrost
pan:
- This is normal in hot, muggy weather. The pan can even
be half full. Make sure the refrigerator
is level so that the
pan does not overflow.
If the light does not work:
- Have you checked your home's main fuses?
- Is the power supply cord plugged
into a live circuit with
the proper voltage?
If a bulb is burned out:
1. Disconnect
the refrigerator from the power supply.
2. Reach behind the control console to find the bulb.
3. Remove the bulb (Fig. 11).
4. Replace with a same type bulb (available by our Service
Centers only).
If the motor
seems to run too much:
- Is the condenser free of dust and lint?
- On hot days, or if the room is warm, the motor naturally
runs longer.
- 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:

x
Motor running time depends on different things: number of
door openings,
amount of food stored, temperature
of the
$
room, setting of the temperature
controls.

If you have followed the above checks and your appliance
still does not work properly,
get in touch with the Service
Division.
State clearly what is wrong and the type and serial number
of your appliance
(these data are on the rating plate).
To replace
the mains cable:
1. Ask our Service Centers for replacement
mains cable.
