PROBLEM 

POSSIBLE CAUSE 

Refrigerator does not operate.

 

Not plugged in. 
The circuit breaker tripped or a blown fuse. 

Compressor turns on and off frequently.

 

The room temperature is hotter than normal. 
A large amount of food has been added to the 
refrigerator. 
The door is opened too often. 
The door is not closed completely. 
The temperature control is not set correctly. 
The door gasket does not seal properly. 
The refrigerator does not have the correct 
clearances. 
The refrigerator has recently been disconnected 
for a period of time.  4 hours are required for the 
refrigerator to cool down completely.

 

Temperature inside the refrigerator is too warm. 

Temperature  control  is  set  too  warm.    Turn  the 
control to a cooler setting and allow several hours 
for the temperature to stabilize. 
Door  is  kept  open  too  long  or  is  opened  too 
frequently.  Warm air enters the refrigerator every 
time  the  door  is  opened.    Open  the  door  less 
often. 
The door is not closed completely. 
The door gasket does not seal properly. 
A  large  amount  of  warm  or  hot  food  might  have 
been  stored  recently.    Wait  until  the  refrigerator 
has  had  a  chance  to  reach  its  selected 
temperature.  
The  refrigerator  has  recently  been  disconnected 
for a period of time.  4 hours are required for the 
refrigerator to cool down completely. 

Temperature inside the refrigerator is too cold. 

Temperature  control  is  set  too  cold.    Turn  the 
control  to  a  warmer  setting  and  allow  several 
hours for the temperature to stabilize. 

Temperature of external refrigerator surface is 
warm. 

The exterior refrigerator walls can be as much as 
30

ο

F  warmer  than  room  temperature.    This  is 

normal  while  the  compressor  works  to  transfer 
heat from inside the refrigerator cabinet. 

Popping or cracking sound when compressor 
comes on. 

Metal  parts  undergo  expansion  and  contraction, 
as in hot water pipes.  This is normal.  Sound will 
level off or disappear as refrigerator continues to 
run. 

Bubbling or gurgling sound, like water boiling. 

Refrigerant  (used  to  cool  refrigerator)  is 
circulating throughout the system.  This is normal. 

Vibrations.

 

Check to assure that the refrigerator is on a level 
surface.   
Floor  is  uneven  or  weak.    Refrigerator  rocks  on 
the floor when it is moved slightly.  Be sure floor
