Troubleshooting
Refrigerator will not operate
Power cord unplugged?
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Is outlet working?
Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is
working.
Household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped?
Replace
the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues,
call an electrician.
Are controls on?
Make sure the refrigerator controls are on.
See
Setting the Controls
.
Is refrigerator defrosting?
Your refrigerator will regularly run
an automatic defrost cycle. Recheck in 30 minutes to see if it is
operating.
New installation?
Allow 24 hours following installation for the
refrigerator to cool completely.
NOTE:
Adjusting the temperature controls to coldest setting will
not cool either compartment more quickly.
The refrigerator is noisy
Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to
this reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new
refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below are
listed some normal sounds with an explanation.
Buzzing -
heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice
maker
Pulsating -
fans/compressor adjusting to optimize
performance
Rattling -
flow of refrigerant, water line, or from items placed
on top of the refrigerator
Sizzling/Gurgling -
water dripping on the heater during
defrost cycle
Popping -
contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially
during initial cool-down
Water running -
may be heard when water melts during the
defrost cycle and runs into the drain pan
Creaking/Cracking -
occurs as ice is being ejected from the
ice maker mold
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
The motor seems to run too much
Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its
high-efficiency compressor and fans. The unit may run even longer
if the room is warm, a large food load is added, doors are opened
often, or if the doors have been left open.
There is no audible door open alarm
Has the door been open less than 10 minutes?
The door open
alarm will only flash when the door has been open for 10 minutes
The audible alarm will sound the first time the door is left open
for more than 10 minutes. Subsequent door open alarms will only
flash. You must reset the audible alarm each time. See

Controls

The doors will not close completely
Door blocked open?
Move food packages away from door.
Bin or shelf in the way?
Push bin or shelf back in the correct
position.
The doors are difficult to open

soap and warm water.
