WARNING
GENERAL OPERATION
Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions
Refrigerator will not operate
■
Not connected to an electrical supply:
Plug the power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not use an extension cord.
■
No power to the electrical outlet:
Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is working.
■
Household fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped:
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit
breaker. If the problem continues, contact a licensed electrician.
■
New installation:
Following installation, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator and freezer to
cool completely.
NOTE:
Adjusting the temperature control(s) to the coldest setting will not cool either
compartment
(refrigerator or freezer) more quickly.
Motor seems to run too much
■
Your new refrigerator has an energy-efficient motor:
The refrigerator may run longer than
you’re used to, because the compressor and fans operate at lower speeds that are more
energy-efficient. This is normal.
NOTE:
Your refrigerator may run even longer if the room is warm, a large load of food is
added, the doors are opened often, or if a door has been left open.
