POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY

 May be in defrost cycle when motor does not operate for about 35 minutes.

● 

Temperature control in OFF position.

● 

If interior light is not on, refrigerator may not be plugged in at wall outlet.

● 

If plug is secure and the refrigerator still fails to operate, plug a lamp or a small

appliance into the same outlet to determine if there is a tripped circuit breaker or
burned out fuse.

● 

Modern refrigerators with more storage space and a larger freezer compartment

require more operating time.
. Normal when refrigerator is first delivered to your home—usually requires 24 hours
to completely cool down.

● 

Large amounts of food 

 in refrigerator to be cooled or frozen.

● 

Hot weather—frequent door openings.

● 

Door 

 open.

 Temperature controls are set too cold. Refer to page 7.

. Grille and condenser need cleaning. Refer to page 12.

● 

Check ENERGY-SAVING TIPS on page 2.

● 

Temperature control 

 and stops motor to maintain even temperatures.

. If refrigerator vibrates, more than likely it is not resting solidly on the floor. The front
roller screws need adjusting, or floor is weak or uneven. Refer to ROLLERS on page 4.

● 

If dishes vibrate on shelves, try moving them. Slight vibration is normal.

● 

The high speed compressor motor required to maintain near zero temperatures in

the large freezer compartment may produce higher sound levels than your old refrigerator.

● 

Normal fan air flow-one fan blows cold air through the refrigerator and freezer

compartments-another fan cools the compressor motor.

. These NORMAL sounds will also be heard from time to time:

● 

Defrost timer switch clicks at defrost.

● 

Defrost water dripping.

● 

Temperature control clicks ON or OFF.

● 

Refrigerant boiling or gurgling.

● 

Cracking or popping of cooling coils caused by expansion and contraction during

defrost and refrigeration following defrost.

● 

Ice cubes dropping into the bin and water running in pipes as 

 refills.

. Normal air flow cooling motor. In the refrigeration process, it is normal that heat be

expelled in the area under the refrigerator. Some floor coverings will discolor at these

normal and safe operating temperatures. Your floor covering supplier should be

consulted if you object to this discoloration.

. Foods not covered, wrapped or sealed properly.
