Power Interruptions
If electric service to your refrigerator will be interrupted for
24 hours or less, keep the doors to the freezer closed. This
helps food stay frozen.
If service will be interrupted longer than 24 hours, remove
all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker, or place
two pounds of dry ice inside the freezer for every cubic foot
of interior volume. This will keep food frozen for two to four
days. Be sure to wear gloves to protect your hands from dry
ice burns. If neither a food locker or dry ice is available, you
should use or can your perishable food at once.
Troubleshooting
Understanding Sounds You May Hear
Your new refrigerator may make different sounds than your
old one. Hard surfaces, such as the ceilings, walls, and
cabinets around the unit can make these sounds seem louder.
However, these sounds are normal and will soon become
familiar; they indicate that your refrigerator is working
properly.
Here are some of the noises you may hear and what they are:
• Freezer or refrigerator fresh food fan: sounds like air
rushing or whirling
• Sealed system (evaporator and heat exchanger)
refrigerant flow: sounds like gurgles, pops or boiling
water
• Defrost heater: sizzles, hisses or pops
• Condenser fan: air rushes and whirls
• Compressor: has a high pitched hum or pulsating sound
• Ice maker valve hookup: buzzes when ice maker fills with
water. This occurs whether or not the unit is connected to
water supply. If the unit is not connected to water supply,
stop sound by raising ice maker arm to off position.
Most performance problems you might encounter with
your new refrigerator will be minor and you should be able
to fix them yourself without tools.
Listed in these charts are the most common problems
consumers run into with their appliances. Please read through
this and see if it can solve your problem before calling for
service.
