Refrigerator will not 

Is the power cord plugged into a live 

operate

circuit with the proper voltage?
Has a household fuse blown or circuit breaker
tripped?  Is the power switch in the ON
position?  

Refrigerator makes

See “Understanding the sounds you may hear” 

unfamiliar sounds

for descriptions of normal sounds and what
makes them.

Water in the defrost 

This is normal in hot, muggy weather.  Make

pan

sure the pan is level so it does not overflow.

Ice Maker will not 

Is the freezer cold enough to make ice?  It 

operate

could take overnight for the freezer to reach
the proper temperature.  Is the signal arm in
the ON (down) position?  Is the water valve
turned on?  Is water getting to the water
valve?  Check water line for leaks.

Lights do not work

Has a household fuse blown or circuit breaker
tripped?  Is a bulb burned out?

Motor seems to run

The motor naturally runs longer on hot days, if

too long

the room is too warm, if a large amount of
food has been added, or if the doors are
opened often.

Do not expect your freezer to quick-freeze any large quantity of food.
Do not load more than 2-3 lbs. of unfrozen food per cubic foot within
24 hours.  Leave enough space for air to circulate around packages.
Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close
tightly.

A full freezer stays cold longer than a partly filled one.  A freezer full of
meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods.  If food
contains ice crystals, it may be safely refrozen, although the quality and
flavor may be affected.  If the condition of the food is poor, or if you
feel it is unsafe, dispose of it.

Storage times will vary according to the quality of food, the type of
packaging or wrap used (airtight and moisture-proof), and the storage
temperature, which should be 0 - 2
