RUNNING OF REFRIGERATOR

OCCURRENCE

SOLUTION

Avoid Service Checklist

Before calling for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense. This list

includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship or

materials in this appliance.

Freezer control is off. Set freezer control. See Setting the Controls.

Refrigerator is in defrost cycle. This is normal for a fully automatic defrosting refrigerator. The defrost

cycle occurs periodically, lasting about 20 minutes.

Plug at wall outlet is disconnected. Make sure plug is tightly pushed into outlet.

House fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped. Check and/or replace fuse with a 15 amp time-

delay fuse. Reset circuit breaker.

Power outage. Check house lights. Call local electric company.

Room or outside weather is hot. It is normal for the refrigerator to work longer under these conditions.

Refrigerator has recently been disconnected for a period of time. It takes about 8-12 hours for the

refrigerator to cool down completely.
