Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. The mo-
tor will normally run longer to cool the appliance back down.
Is the door completely closed?
Push the door firmly shut. If it will not shut all the way, see
“The door will not close completely”
later in this section.
Are the condenser coils dirty?
This prevents air transfer and makes the motor work harder.
Clean the condenser coils.
Is the door gasket sealed all the way around?
Contact a qualified technician.
NOTE: If the problem is not due to any of the above, remember
that the compressor on your new appliance will operate longer
than your old one due it its high-efficiency motor.
The interior temperature is too warm:
Are the air vents blocked?
This prevents cold air movement. Move objects away from the
air vents.
Is the door opened often?
Be aware that the refrigerator will warm when this occurs. In
order to keep the appliance cool, try to get everything you need
out at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find, and close
the door as soon as food is removed.
Has a large amount of food just been added?
Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. It can
take several hours to return to the normal temperature.
The door will not close completely or is difficult to open:
Are food packages blocking the door?
Rearrange containers so that they fit more tightly and take up
less space.
Are shelves out of position?
Put the shelves back into their correct positions.
The interior light does not work:
Is the appliance working properly except that the LED light
on the cabinet ceiling does not go on when the ON/OFF
Light Switch is pushed?
