Check electrical supply.
Plug the power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not use an extension cord.
Make sure there is power to the outlet. Plug in a lamp to see if
the outlet is working.
Reset a tripped circuit breaker. Replace any blown fuses.
NOTE:
If problems continue, contact an electrician.
Check controls.
Make sure the controls are turned on. See “Using the Controls”
section.
New installation
Allow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator to cool
completely.
NOTE:
Adjusting the temperature controls to the coldest setting
will not cool either compartment more quickly.
Refrigerator control is in Showroom
mode (on some models).
If the refrigerator is in Showroom mode, cooling is turned off and
“Showroom” will be illuminated on the control panel. See “Using
the Controls” section for more information.
The motor seems to run
too much.
High-efficiency compressor and fans
Larger, more efficient refrigerators run longer at lower, more
energy efficient speeds.
The room or outdoor temperature
is hot.
It is normal for the refrigerator to work longer under these
conditions. For optimum performance, place the refrigerator in
an indoor, temperature-controlled environment. See “Location
Requirements” section.
A large amount of warm food has
been recently added.
Warm food will cause the refrigerator to run longer until the air
cools to the desired temperature.
