TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 

 

You can solve many common refrigerator problems easily, saving you the cost of a possible 
service call. Try the suggestions below to see if you can solve the problem before calling for 
service.

 

 

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 
can adequately support refrigerator.  Level the 
refrigerator by putting wood or metal shims under 
part of the refrigerator. 
The refrigerator is touching the wall.  Re-level the 
refrigerator and move it from the wall.
