PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE
REFRIGERATOR SYSTEM DOES NOT
OPERATE
• May be in defrost cycle when refrigerating system does not operate for
about 45 minutes.
• Temperature control in the OFF position.
• If interior light is not on, refrigerator may not be plugged in at wall outlet .
• The house fuse is blown/house circuit breaker is tripped. Replace fuse or
reset the breaker.
• If your control panel says SHO , then your showroom mode was enabled.
To turn this o ff , hold the ALARM button and (-) pad simultaneously for
5 seconds.
REFRIGERATING SYSTEM OPERATES
FOR LONG PERIODS OR CYCLES ON
FREQUENTLY
(Modern refrigerators and freezers with
more storage space and a larger freezer
require more operating time. They start and
stop often to maintain even temperatures.)
• Normal when refrigerator is fi rst plugged in. Wait 24 hours for the
refrigerator to completely cool down.
• Often occurs when large amounts of food are placed in refrigerator. This is
normal.
• Door left open or package holding door open.
• Hot weather or frequent door openings. This is normal.
• Temperature control set at the coldest setting. See Temperature Control.
VIBRATION OR RATTLING
(Slight vibration is normal.)
• Refrigerator may not be properly installed.
– Anti-tip bracket may be loose.
– Unit may not be level.
THUMPING SOUND WHEN CLOSING
DOOR
• This is a normal operating sound.
• Closing the door slowly will minimize the sound.
OPERATING SOUNDS • The variable speed compressor.
• Normal fan air fl ow—multiple fans blow cold air through the fresh-food and
freezer compartments—other fans cool the compressor.
• The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and energy
savings.
• These NORMAL sounds will also be heard from time to time:
– You may hear a whooshing or gurgling sound when the door closes. This
is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
– A water dripping sound may occur during the defrost cycle as ice melts
from the evaporator and fl ows into the drain pan.
– The fl ow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils may make a
gurgling sound like boiling water.
– Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling, popping or
buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.
– You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator is fi rst
plugged in or during/after the defrost cycle. This happens as the
refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
– The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound when attempting
to restart (this could take up to 5 minutes).
– The electronic control board may cause a clicking sound when relays
activate to control refrigerator components.
– Ice cubes dropping into the bin and water running in pipes as icemaker
re fi lls.
– The icemaker water valve will buzz when the icemaker fi lls with water.
