Vacation Care
Your refrigerator is equipped with the Sabbath Mode feature,
which is designed for the traveler or for those whose religious
observances require turning off the lights and ice maker. By
selecting this feature, the temperature set points remain
unchanged, the ice maker will be disabled and the interior lights
will turn off. For most efficient refrigerator operation, it is
recommended to exit Sabbath mode when it is no longer required.
If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On While
You’re Away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. Press the SABBATH touch pad.
3. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, shut off the
water supply to the ice maker.
4. Empty the ice bin.
5. When you return from vacation, press the SABBATH touch
pad to return to normal operation.
If You Choose to Turn the Refrigerator Off Before You
Leave:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
■ Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day
ahead of time.
■ When the last load of ice drops, slide the ice maker control
to the OFF (down) position.
3. Under the Fridge or Freezer menu, press and hold COOLING
OFF for 3 seconds to turn off cooling.
NOTE: To turn off the power completely, use the power ON/
OFF switch located behind the top grille. See “Power On/Off
Switch.”
4. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.
5. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of all doors to prop
them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and
mold from building up.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
Refrigerator Operation
The refrigerator will not operate
■ Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
■ Is outlet working? Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is
working.
■ Household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Replace
the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues,
call an electrician.
■ Are controls on? Make sure the refrigerator controls are on.
See “Using the Controls.”
■ Is refrigerator defrosting? Your refrigerator will regularly run
an automatic defrost cycle. Recheck in 30 minutes to see if it
is operating.
■ New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the
refrigerator to cool completely.
NOTE: Adjusting the temperature controls to the coldest
setting will not cool either compartment more quickly.
The motor seems to run too much
Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its
high-efficiency compressor and fans. The unit may run even
longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, doors are
opened often, or if the doors have been left open.
The refrigerator is noisy
Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this
reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new
refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below are
listed some normal sounds with an explanation.
■ Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice
maker
■ Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize
performance
■ Rattling - flow of refrigerant, water line, or from items placed
on top of the refrigerator
■ Sizzling/Gurgling - water dripping on the heater during
defrost cycle
■ Popping - contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially
during initial cool-down
■ Water running - may be heard when ice melts during the
defrost cycle and runs into the drain pan
■ Creaking/Cracking - occurs as ice is being ejected from the
ice maker mold
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.
