• 

plugged in, or plug may be 

loose.

House fuse blown or tripped 

• 

circuit breaker.

Use another circuit. If you are unsure about the outlet, 

• 

have it checked b

y a certified technician.

time.

Large amounts of warm or hot 

• 

food has been stored recently.

Refrigerator door may be 

• 

slightly open.

Temperature control is set too 

• 

low.

Refrigerator gasket is dirty, 

• 

worn, crack

ed, or poorly fi

tted.

It’s normal for the Refrigerator to work harder under these 

• 

conditions.

It takes 4 hours for the Refrigerator to cool down 

• 

completely.

Warm food will cause Refrigerator to run more until the 

• 

desired temperature is reached.

Warm air entering the Refrigerator causes it to run more. 

• 

Open doors less often.

See 

• 

“DOOR PROBLEMS”

 section.

Turn control knob to a warmer setting. Allow several hours 

• 

for the temperature to stabilize.

Clean or change gasket. Leaks in the door seal will cause 

• 

Refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain desired 

temperature.

Interior Refrigerator 

temperature is too 

cold.

Temperature control is set too 

• 

low.

Turn the control to a warmer setting. Allow several hours 

• 

for the temperature to stabilize.

 section.

Warm food will cause Refrigerator to run more until the 

• 

desired temperature is reached.

It takes 4 hours for the Refrigerator to cool down 

• 

completely.

Refrigerator external 

surface temperature is 

warm.

The external Refrigerator walls 

• 

can be as much as 30°F warm-

er than room temperature.

This is normal while the compressor works to transfer heat 

• 

from inside the Refrigerator cabinet.

SOUND AND NOISE
Louder sound levels 

when Refrigerator is 

on.

Modern

• 

refrigerators have 

increased storage capacity and 

more stable temperatures. 

They requir

e a high efficiency 

compressor

This is normal. When the surrounding noise level is low, 

• 

you might hear the compressor running while it cools the 

interior
