Kenmore 10653392300 Refrigerator User Manual


 
Temperature is too warm
Are the air vents blocked in either compartment? This
prevents the movement of cold air from the freezer to the
refrigerator. Remove any objects from in front of the air vents.
See the "Ensuring Proper Air Circulation" section for the
location of air vents.
Are the door(s) opened often? The refrigerator will warm
when this occurs. Keep the refrigerator cool by getting all
items out at one time, keeping food organized, and closing
the door as soon as possible.
Has a large amount of food just been added to the
refrigerator or freezer?. Adding a large amount of food
warms the refrigerator. It can take several hours for the
refrigerator to return to the normal temperature.
Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See the "Using the Controls" section.
Is the refrigerator not cooling? For models with digital
controls, turn the unit OFF then ON again to reset. See the
"Using the Controls" section. If this does not correct the
problem, call for service.
There is interior moisture buildup
Are the air vents blocked in the refrigerator?. Remove any
objects from in front of the air vents. See the "Ensuring
Proper Air Circulation" section for the location of air vents.
Are the door(s) opened often? Avoid humidity buildup by
getting all items out at one time, keeping food organized, and
closing the door as soon as possible.
Is the room humid? It is normal for moisture to build up
inside the refrigerator when the room air is humid.
Is the food packaged correctly? Check that all food is
securely wrapped. Wipe off damp food containers before
placing in the refrigerator.
Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See the "Using the Controls" section.
Was a self-defrost cycle completed? It is normal for
droplets to form after the refrigerator self-defrosts.
The doors will not close completely
Are food packages blocking the door open? Rearrange
containers so that they fit more tightly and take up less
space.
Is the ice bin or ice bucket out of position? For models
with an interior ice bin, push the ice bin in all the way. If the
ice bin does not go in all the way, it may not be put in straight.
Pull it out and try again. For models with an ice bucket
located on the freezer door, the bucket should sit level. To
remove the bucket, press the release button on the right side
of the bucket and lift straight up. Replace the bucket in the
door making sure it is properly aligned and snapped securely
into place. See the "Ice Maker and Storage Bin/Bucket"
section.
Are the pans, shelves, bins, or baskets out of position?
Put the crisper cover and all pans, shelves, bins, and baskets
back into their correct positions. See the "Convertible
Vegetable/Meat Drawer, Crisper and Covers" section for more
information.
Are the gaskets sticking? Clean gaskets according to the
directions in the "Cleaning" section.
Does the refrigerator wobble or seem unstable? Level the
refrigerator. See the "Door Closing" or "Leveling Refrigerator"
section, depending on your model.
Were the doors removed during product installation and
not properly replaced? Remove and replace the doors
according to the "Door Removal" section on some models, or
call a qualified service technician.
The doors are difficult to open

the directions in the "Cleaning" section.
