Care and maintenance

Refrigerator is replacing an older
model.
Refrigerator was recently plugged
in or power restored.
Door opened often or a large
amount of food / hot food was
added.
Doors are not closed completely.
Refrigerator is installed in a hot
location.
Condenser / back cover is clogged.
Modern refrigerators require more
operating time but use less energy due to
more efficient technology.
The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to
cool completely.
Adding food and opening the door warms
the refrigerator, requiring the compressor
to run longer in order to cool the
refrigerator back down. 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. (Refer to the Food Storage
Guide.)
Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not
shut all the way, see the Doors will not
close completely or pop open section in
Parts & Features Troubleshooting.
The compressor will run longer under
warm conditions. At normal room
temperatures (70°F) expect your
compressor to run about 40% to 80% of
the time. Under warmer conditions, expect
it to run even more often. The refrigerator
should not be operated above 110°F.
Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment
to clean the condenser cover and vents.
Do not remove the panel covering the
condenser coil area.
