Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions
The
refrigerator
will not
operate
Not connected to an electrical supply - Plug the power cord into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not use an
extension cord.
No power to the electrical outlet - 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, contact an electrician.
Control is not turned on - Turn on the refrigerator control. See “Using the Controls.”
New Installation - Allow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator to cool completely.
NOTE: Adjusting the temperature controls 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. Energy ecient refrigerators run longer at lower, more
energy ecient speeds. Your refrigerator 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 is
noisy
Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this reduction in operating noise, you may notice
unfamiliar noises that are normal. Following are some normal sounds with an explanation:
Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to ll the ice maker
Clicking/Snapping - valves opening or closing
Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize performance
Rattling - ow 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 water runs into the drain pan
Creaking/Cracking - occurs as ice is being ejected from the ice maker mold.
The door will
not close
completely
The door is blocked open - Move food packages away from door. Push bin or shelf back in the correct position.
Make sure the crisper cover is fully pushed in, so that the back rests on the supports.
The door is
difficult to
open
Gaskets are dirty or sticky - Clean gaskets and contact surfaces with mild soap and warm water. Rinse and dry
with soft cloth.
Temperature is
too warm
New Installation - Allow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator to cool completely.
Door(s) opened often or not closed completely - Allows warm air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door openings
and keep doors fully closed.
A large amount of warm food has been recently added - Allow several hours for refrigerator to return to
normal temperature.
Check that the Temperature Control(s) are set correctly for the surrounding conditions - Adjust the controls to
one setting colder. Check temperature in 24 hours. See “Using the Controls.”
There is
interior
moisture
buildup
NOTE: Some
moisture
buildup is
normal.
Humid room - Contributes to moisture buildup in the refrigerator.
Door(s) opened often or not closed completely - Allows humid air to enter the refrigerator. Minimize door
openings and keep door fully closed.
The ice maker
is not
producing ice
or not enough
ice
The ice maker is not connected to a water supply - Connect refrigerator to water supply and turn water shuto
valve fully open.
A kink in the line can reduce water ow - Straighten the water source line.
Ice maker is not turned on - Make sure the ice maker wire shuto arm or switch (depending on model) is in the
ON position.
New installation - Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation for ice production to begin. Wait 3 days for full
ice production.
Large amount of ice recently removed - Allow sucient time or ice maker to produce more ice.
Ice cube jammed in the ice maker ejector arm - Remove ice from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil.
A reverse osmosis water ltration system connected to our cold water supply can decrease water pressure -
See “Water Supply Requirements.”
