TROUBLESHOOTING
Try the solutions
suggested
here first in order to avoid the
cost of an unnecessary
service call.
Your refrigerator
will not operate
•
Is the power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong
outlet.
Has a household fuse or circuit breaker tripped? Replace
the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
IS the Refrigerator
Control turned to the OFF position?
See the "Setting the Control(s)" section.
Is the refrigerator
defrosting?
Recheck to see if the
refrigerator is operating in 30 minutes. Your refrigerator will
regularly run an automatic defrost cycle.
The lights do not work
•
is the power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong
outlet.
•
is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See the
"Changing the Light Bulb(s)" section.
There is water in the defrost drain pan
•
Is the refrigerator defrosting? The water will evaporate. It is
_j3_
normal for water to drip into the defrost pan.
_
•
Is it more humid than normal? When it is humid, expect that
the water in the defrost pan will take longer to evaporate.
_J3_
The motor seems to run too much
•
is the room temperature
hotter than normal? The motor
will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room
temperatures,
your motor will run about 40% to 80% of the
time. Under warmer conditions,
it will run even more.
Has a large amount of food just been added to the
refrigerator?
Adding a large amount of food warms the
refrigerator. The motor normally will run longer to cool the
refrigerator back down.
Are the doors opened often? The motor will run longer
when this occurs. Conserve energy by getting all items out at
one time, keeping food organized, and closing the door as
soon as possible.
is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See the "Setting the Control(s)" section.
Are the doors closed completely? Close the doors firmly. If
they do not close completely, see "The doors 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. See
the "Cleaning Your Refrigerator" section.
NOTE: Your new refrigerator will run longer than your old one due
to its high efficiency motor.
