Problem
Possible Cause & Solution
Refrigerator is
not cooling or
has no power.
A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit
breaker tripped. Or the appliance is connected to a
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet, and the
outlet's circuit breaker has tripped.
•
Check the main electrical box and replace the fuse
or reset the circuit breaker. Do not increase fuse

corrected by a qualified electrician.
•
Reset the circuit breaker on the GFCI. If the problem
persists, contact an electrician.

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.

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