Try the solutions suggested here first to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call...
Your refrigerator will not operate:
1.
Has a household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped?
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
2.
There is water in the defrost drain pan. Is the refrigerator defrosting?
The water will evaporate. It is normal for water to drip into the defrost pan. Is it more humid than normal?
When it is humid, expect that the water in the defrost pan will take longer to evaporate.
3.
The motor seems to run too much.
Is there any frost buildup or a package preventing the door from
closing? Defrost and clean the refrigerator, move packages so the door closes properly.
Is the room temperature hotter than normal?
The motor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures, your motor will run about
40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, it will run even more.
Has a large amount of food just been added to the refrigerator?
Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. The motor normally will run longer to cool the re-
frigerator back down. It can take several hours for the refrigerator to return to the normal temperature.
Is the door closed completely?
Push the door firmly shut. If it will not shut all the way, see “The door will not close completely” later in this
section.
Are the condenser coils dirty, preventing proper cooling (on some models)?
This prevents air transfer and makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils.
Is the door gasket sealed all the way around?
Contact Lynx Customer Care.
NOTE: If the problem is not due to any of the above, remember that the compressor on your new
appliance will operate longer than your old one due to its high-efficiency motor.
Is the temperature is too warm? Are the air vents blocked?
Is the door opened often?
This prevents cold air movement. Move objects away from the air vents. See “Ensuring Proper Air Circu-
lation” for air vent locations.
Be aware that the refrigerator will warm when this occurs. In order to keep
the refrigerator cool, 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.
4.
The door will not close completely or is difficult to open:
Are food packages blocking the door? Re-
arrange containers so that they fit more tightly and take up less space. Examine the door gasket to see if
it is dirty, sticky or damaged. Are the shelves out of position? Put the shelves back into their correct posi-
tions. Adjust the leveling leg so that the refrigerator tilts a little to the rear. This will help the door close.
Check the door hinges, reposition and tighten if needed to prevent the door from sagging
5. Water has risen above the kick plate.
Water can seep into the refrigerator foam insulation and cause it
to swell. Water reaching the GFI cord or the compressor may damage the electrical system.
