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 

Setting the 

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

Are the gaskets dirty or sticky?

 

„

 Clean gaskets with mild 

soap and warm water.

The lights do not work

Is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out?

 

„

 See 

Changing the Light Bulbs

.

Is the refrigerator in Holiday mode?

 

„

 See 

Holiday Mode.

Has the door been open more than 10 minutes?

 

„

 See 

Setting the Controls

.
