Trouble shooting

Before calling for service, review this list. It may save you both time and expense. 
This list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship 
or materials in this appliance.

Occurrence

Possible cause

Solution

Runing of 

refrigerator

Refrigerator 
compressor 

does not run.

Refrigerator control is off.

Set refrigerator control. See setting the 
controls. 

Refrigerator is in defrost cycle.

This is normal for a fully automatic defrosting 
refrigerator. The defrost cycle occurs 
periodically.

Plug at wall outlet is disconnected.

Make sure plug is tightly pushed into outlet.

Power outage. Check house lights.

Call local electric company.

Refrigerator 

runs too much 

or too long

Refrigerator is larger than the 
previous one you owned.

This is normal. Larger, more efficient units 
run longer in these conditions. 

Room or outside weather is hot.

It is normal for the refrigerator to work longer 
under these conditions.

Refrigerator has recently been 
disconnected for a period of time.

It takes some hours for the refrigerator  to cool 
down completely.

Large amounts of warm or hot food 
may have been stored recently.

Warm food will cause the refrigerator to run 
longer until the desired temperature is 
reached.

Doors are opened too frequently or 
too long. 

Warm air entering the refrigerator  causes it 
to run longer. Open the door  less often. 

Refrigerator or freezer door may be 
slightly open.

Make sure the refrigerator is level. 
Keep food and containers from blocking door. 
See problem section. 
OPENING/CLOSING of doors. 

Refrigerator control is set too cold.

Set the refrigerator control to a warmer 
setting until the refrigerator temperature is 
satisfactory.

Refrigerator or freezer gasket is dirty, 
worn, cracked, or poorly fitted.

Clean or change gasket. Leaks in the door 
seal will cause refrigerator to run longer in 
order to maintain desired temperatures.

Thermostat is keeping the refrigerator 
at a constant temperature.

This is normal. Refrigerator goes on and off to 
keep the temperature constant.
