Moving your refrigerator
1 Unplug your refrigerator from the power outlet.
2 Remove all food, then clean and dry the refrigerator thoroughly.
3 Securely tape down all loose items inside your refrigerator.
4 Tape the door shut, then tape the power cord to the back of the refrigerator.
5 Make sure that your refrigerator does not tilt more than 45° from the upright position during transportation.
Tips on saving energy
• Locate your refrigerator in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts and out
of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in your refrigerator. Overloading your refrigerator forces
the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Wrap foods correctly and wipe containers dry before placing them in your refrigerator. This cuts down on frost
build-up.
• Do not line the refrigerator storage shelves with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold
air circulation and make your refrigerator less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one
time, and close the door as soon as possible.
Troubleshooting
CAUTION: Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or
hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the refrigerator
when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.
Note: If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any period of time wait four hours before plugging it in to
allow the oil to settle into the compressor.
CAUTION: Do not try to repair your refrigerator yourself. Doing so invalidates the warranty.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
My refrigerator does not work.
• Make sure that your refrigerator is securely plugged into a working outlet.
• Make sure that your power source has the correct voltage. Your refrigerator’s
voltage rating is on a label located on the back of your refrigerator.
• Check the house fuse or circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the
circuit breaker.
• Wait for the defrost cycle to end and cooling system to restart.
The refrigerator compartment
has a bad odor.
• Make sure that all food with a strong odor (like onions) is wrapped or stored in
airtight packaging.
• Certain containers and wrapping materials (such as paper, foil, or plastic) can
cause odors. If you think this might be the case, try using different containers or
a different brand of wrapping material.
• Check for spoiled food and remove it.
• Clean the inside of your refrigerator. See Cleaning your refrigerator
on page 30.
The refrigerator doors do not
close completely.
• Make sure that no food packages are in the way.
• Make sure that the door gaskets (seals) are clean. See Cleaning your refrigerator
on page 30
.
• If the door gasket does not seal, try heating then cooling the seal. You can use an
electric hair dryer to heat the seal.
• Make sure that your refrigerator is level. See Leveling your refrigerator
on
page 13
.
• Make sure that the top of your refrigerator is tilted backward about 0.4" (10 mm)
to 0.6" (15 mm). See Leveling your refrigerator
on page 13.
The temperature is too hot.
• You may have left the doors open too long or opened them too frequently.
• Make sure that no obstacle is keeping the doors from closing correctly.
• Adjust the refrigerator or freezer compartment temperature. Allow 24 hours for
the temperature to adjust. See Setting the refrigerator temperature
on page 25
or Setting the freezer temperature
on page 25.
• Your refrigerator may not have enough clearance from walls or the ceiling. See
Providing correct ventilation
on page 11.
