Moving
When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home, follow
these steps to prepare it for the move.
If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
• Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day
ahead of time.
1.
Disconnect the water line from the back of the
refrigerator.
When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff arm
to the OFF (up) position or press the switch to OFF,
depending on your model.
2. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen
food in dry ice.
3. Empty the ice bin.
4. Turn the Temperature controls off. See "Using the Controls."
5. Unplug refrigerator.
6. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.
7. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don't shift and rattle during the move.
8. Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator so
it rolls more easily OR raise the leveling screws so they don't
scrape the floor. See "Adjust the Doors."
9. 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
the "Installation Instructions" section for preparation instructions.
Also, if your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, remember to
reconnect the water supply to the refrigerator.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Try the solutions suggested here first inorder to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
The refrigerator will not operate
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 fellow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
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.
Is control on? Make sure the refrigerator control is on. See
"Using the Control."
New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for
the refrigerator to cool completely.
NOTE: Adjusting the temperature control to coldest setting
will not cool the refrigerator 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, the door is
opened often, or if the door has been left open.
The refrigerator seems 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 explanations.
• Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize
performance.
• Hissing/Rattling - flow of refrigerant, movement of water
lines, or from items placed on top of the refrigerator.
• Popping - contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially
during initial cool-down.
• Water running/dripping - may be heard when water melts
during defrosting and runs into the drain pan.
The door will not close completely
• Door blocked open? Move food packages away from door.
• Bin or shelf in the way? Push bin or shelf back in the correct
position.
• Crisper cover in the way? Make sure the crisper cover is
fully pushed in, so that the back rests on the supports.
