TROUBLESHOOTING

Review the Troubleshooting section before calling for service; doing so will save you both time
and money.

Problem

Possible Causes

Solutions

Refrigerator and
Freezer section
are not cooling.

The refrigerator control is set to
OFF (some models).

Turn the control ON. Refer to the Setting the
Controls section for proper temperature settings.

The refrigerator is in the defrost
cycle.

During the defrost cycle, the temperature of
each compartment may rise slightly. Wait 30
minutes and confirm the proper temperature
has been restored once the defrost cycle has
completed.

The refrigerator was recently
installed.

It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment
to reach the desired temperature.

The refrigerator was recently
relocated.

If the refrigerator was stored for a long period of
time or moved on its side, it is necessary for the
refrigerator to stand upright for 24 hours before
connecting it to power.

Cooling System
runs too much.

The refrigerator is replacing an
older model.

Modern refrigerators require more operating
time but use less energy due to more efficient
technology.

The refrigerator was recently
plugged in or the power was
restored.

The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool
completely.

The door is opened often or a
large amount of food / hot food
was added.

Adding food and opening the door warms the
refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run
longer in order to cool the refrigerator back
down. In order to conserve energy, try to get
everything you need out of the refrigerator
at once, keep food organized so it is easy to
find, and close the door as soon as the food is
removed. (Refer to the Food Storage Guide.)

The doors are not closed
completely.

Firmly push the doors shut.

The refrigerator is installed in a
hot location.

The compressor will run longer under warm
conditions. At normal room temperatures (70°F)
expect your compressor to run about 40% to
80% of the time. Under warmer conditions,
expect it to run even more often. The refrigerator
should not be operated above 110°F.

The condenser / back cover is
clogged.

Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to
clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not
remove the panel covering the condenser coil
area.
