TROUBLESHOOTING
If you notice a problem with your appliance, try these solutions first to avoid the cost of an
unnecessary service call.
Problem
Possible Solution
The appliance will not operate.
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Recheck to see whether the unit is operating in 30
minutes. Frost-free models will regularly run a
defrost cycle.
There is water in the defrost drain pan (on some
models).
The water will evaporate. It is normal for water to
drip into the defrost pan.
When it is humid, expect that the water in the
defrost pan will take longer to evaporate.
The motor seems to run too much.
Defrost and clean the appliance, or move the
package so the door closes properly.
The motor will run longer under warm conditions.
At normal room temperatures, the motor will
run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under
warmer conditions, it will run even more.
Adding a large number of items warms the
appliance. The motor normally will run longer
to cool the unit back down.
Push the door firmly shut. If it will not shut all the
way, see the door will not close completely
later in this section.
This prevents heat transfer and makes the motor
work harder. Clean the condenser coils.
If not, contact a qualified technician.
Temperature is too warm.
Move contents away from the air vents. This
prevents cold air movement.
Be aware that the appliance will warm up when
the door is opened frequently. In order to keep
the unit cool, try to get everything you need
out at one time. Keep contents organized so
they are easy to find and close the door as
soon as the items are removed.
Adding a large number of items warms the unit. It
can take several hours for it to return to
normal temperature.
The door will not close completely or is difficult to
open.
Rearrange containers so that they fit more tightly
and take up less space.
Put the shelves and drawers back into their
correct positions.
