GENERAL OPERATION Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions
Refrigerator
will not operate ■ Not connected to an electrical supply - Plug the power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not use an extension cord.
■ No power to the electrical outlet - Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is working.
■ Household fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped - Replace the fuse or reset the circuit
breaker. If the problem continues, contact a licensed electrician.
■ Control or cooling is not turned on - Turn on the refrigerator control, or turn cooling on.
See “Using the Controls” in the User Instructions or User Guide.
■ New installation - Following installation, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator and freezer to cool
completely.
NOTE: Adjusting the temperature control(s) to the coldest setting will not cool either compartment
(refrigerator or freezer) more quickly.
■ Refrigerator control is in Showroom mode (on some models)- If the refrigerator is in Showroom
mode, cooling will be off and “Showroom” will be illuminated on the control panel. See “Using the
Controls” in the User Instructions or User Guide for more information.
Motor seems to
run too much ■ Your new refrigerator has an energy-efficient motor - The refrigerator may run longer than you’re
used to, because the compressor and fans operate at lower speeds that are more energy-efficient.
This is normal.
NOTE: Your refrigerator may run even longer if the room is warm, a large load of food is added, the
doors are opened often, or if a door has been left open.
Lights do not work ■ Your refrigerator has been equipped with LED lighting which does not need to be replaced - If
there is power to the refrigerator and the lights do not illuminate when a door or drawer is opened,
call for service or assistance. See the Warranty (in the User Instructions or User Guide) for contact
information.
■ The dispenser light is set to OFF - On some models, the dispenser light will operate only when the
dispenser paddle is pressed. If you want the dispenser light to stay on continuously, see “Water and
Ice Dispensers” in the User Instructions or User Guide).
■ Doors have been open longer than 10 minutes - Close the doors and drawers to reset, and open
to resume lighted task.
