Refrigerator Operation

The refrigerator will not operate

Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Is outlet working? Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is
working.

Household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Replace
the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues,
call an electrician.

Are 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.

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

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.

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.
