TROUBLESHOOTING
First try the solutions suggested here or visit our website to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
WARNING
GENERAL OPERATION Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions
Refrigerator will not operate
■ Not connected to an electrical supply - Plug the power cord into a grounded 3 prong
outlet. Do not use an extension cord.
■ No power to the electrical outlet - Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is working.
■ Household fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped - Replace the fuse or reset the
circuit breaker. If the problem continues, contact a licensed electrician.
■ New installation - Following installation, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator and freezer to
cool completely.
NOTE: Adjusting the temperature control(s) to the coldest setting will not cool either
compartment (refrigerator or freezer) more quickly.
Motor seems to run too much
■ Your new refrigerator has an energy-efficient motor - The refrigerator may run longer than
you’re used to because the compressor and fans operate at lower speeds that are more
energy-efficient. This is normal.
NOTE: Your refrigerator may run even longer if the room is warm, a large load of food is
added, the doors are opened often, or if a door has been left open.
Moving
When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home, follow
these steps to prepare it for the move.
1. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
■ Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one
day ahead of time.
■ Disconnect the water line from the back of the
refrigerator.
■ When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shut-off
arm to the Off (up) position or move the switch to the
Off (right) setting.
2. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen
food in dry ice.
3. Empty the ice bin.
4. Unplug refrigerator.
5. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.
6. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.
7. Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator
so it rolls more easily or screw in the leveling legs so they
don’t scrape the floor. See the “Adjust the Doors” or “Door
Removal, Leveling, and Alignment” section.
8. Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the back
of the refrigerator.
When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer
to these Installation Instructions for preparation instructions.
Also, if your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, remember
to reconnect the water supply to the refrigerator.
