VACATION CARE
If you choose to turn the refrigerator off before you leave,
follow these steps.
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. Unplug the refrigerator.
3. Clean the refrigerator. Refer “Cleaning” section.

to prop it open far enough for air to get in. This stops
odor and mold from building up.

refrigerator.
When you get to your new home, put everything back
and refer to the “Installation Instructions” section.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
OPERATION
Power supply 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 a circuit breaker tripped?
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit. If the problem
continues, call an electrician.
Are controls on? Be sure that the refrigerator
controls are on. Refer “Controls” section.
THE MOTOR SEEMS TO RUN TOO MUCH
Is the temperature outside hotter than normal?
Expect the motor to run longer under warm
conditions. At normal temperatures, expect your
motor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under
warmer conditions, expect it to run even more of the
time.
Has a large amount of food just been added to the
refrigerator? Adding a large amount of food warms
the refrigerator. It is normal for the motor to run
longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down.
Is the door opened often? Expect the motor to run
longer when this occurs. In order to conserve energy,
try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator
at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find, and
close the door as soon as the food is removed.
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? Refer “Controls” section.
Is the door closed completely? Push the door firmly
shut. If it will not shut all the way, refer “The door will
not close completely” later in this section.
Are the condenser coils dirty? This obstructs air
transfer and makes the motor work harder. Clean the
condenser coils. Refer “Cleaning” section.
TEMPERATURE AND MOISTURE
TEMPERATURE IS TOO WARM
Is the door opened often? Be aware that the
refrigerator will warm up when this occurs. In order
to keep the refrigerator cool, try to get everything
you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food
organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as
soon as the food is removed.
Has a large amount of food just been added to the
refrigerator? Adding a large amount of food warms
the refrigerator. It can take several hours for the
refrigerator to return to the normal temperature.
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? Refer “Using the Controls.
Is the base grille blocked? For best performance, do
not install the refrigerator behind a cabinet door or
block the base grille.
THERE IS INTERIOR MOISTURE BUILDUP
Is the door opened often? To avoid humidity
buildup, try to get everything you need out of the
refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy
to find, and close the door as soon as the food is
removed. When the door is opened, humidity from
the room air enters the refrigerator. The more often
the door is opened, the faster humidity builds up,
especially when the room itself is very humid.
Is it humid? It is normal for moisture to build up
inside the refrigerator when the air is humid.
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 follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
