INSTALLATION CHECKS/COMMON ERRORS
Installation Checks
• Anti-tip mounting bracket must be installed cor
-
rectly and anchored to prevent cabinet from tipping
forward.
• Module should be engaged in the slots on the module
positioning brackets and seated on the foam seal
without air gaps. Module positioning brackets should
not be removed.
• All wires from the lower cabinet to module must be
securely connected. If a problem is suspected, inspect
both male and female plugs and insure that the termi
-
nals in the plug are sufficiently forward to engage.
• Cabinet must be level both side-to-side and front-
to-back. Front leveling legs should rest firmly on the
floor. Cabinetry on both sides of the cabinet must be
secure and level to prevent the cabinet from shifting
when the doors are opened.
• Doors must not hit adjacent walls or countertops.
• Gaskets must seal completely. If gaskets seal well, no
further adjustments need to be made.
• On models with ice makers, check water connections
for leaks. If water is not yet connected, the plastic
water fill tube to the freezer compartment must either
be attached to the solenoid or sealed to prevent air
leaking into the cabinet.
• Brown and white wires should be connected to the
solenoid. The remaining Molex connector plugs into
the power module.
• Do NOT overcrowd the shelves or block cold air ducts.
• Do NOT install a refrigerator shelf closer than 8 inches
from the interior top.
• Do NOT allow packages to overhang sides or rear of
shelves as this will block air circulation, making the
refrigerator less efficient.
Common Installation Errors
• Any air leaks between the module and the cabinet will
keep the cabinet from operating efficiently.
• The water supply line and electric outlet must be lo
-
cated in a manner that will not interfere with module
to cabinet alignment when the unit is pushed into
place.
• Power cord to outlet sitting under the power module
will create an air leak.
• Ice maker fill tube (plastic) not connected or loose
creating a water and/or air leak.
• Plugs from cabinet not connected to the ice maker
and/or power module.
• Floor under products lower than finished floor making
the unit inaccessible for service. Floor under product
must be strong enough to support weight of fully
loaded refrigerator.
• Product not anchored properly (to prevent tipping).
Bracket not secured to rear wall studs or screws
through product side trim into adjoining cabinets or
walls.
