REFRIGERATOR CARE
Condensor Cleaning
There is no need for routine condensor cleaning in normal home
operating environments. If the environment is particularly greasy
or dusty or there is significant pet traffic in the home, the
condenser should be cleaned every 2 to 3 months to ensure
maximum efficiency.
If you need to clean the condensor:
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove the base grille.
3. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille, the
open areas behind the grille and the front surface area of the
condensor.
4. Rep
lace the base grille when finished.
5. Plug in refrigerator or rec
onnect power.
Lights
The lights in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments are LEDs which do not need to be replaced. If the lights do not illuminate
when the door or drawer is opened, call for assistance or service. In the U.S.A., call 1-800-253-1301. In Canada call 1-800-807-6777.
Vacation and Moving Care
Vacations
If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On While
You’re Away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, and is
connected to the household water supply, turn off the
water supply to the refrigerator. Property damage can
occur if the water supply is not turned off.
3. If you have an automatic ice maker, turn off the ice maker.
NOTE: Depending on your model, raise the wire shutoff
arm to OFF (up) position, or press the switch to OFF.
4. Empty the ice bin.
If You Choose to Turn Off the Refrigerator Before
You Leave:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one
day ahead of time.
When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff arm
to the OFF (up) position or press the switch to OFF,
depending on your model.
3. Turn off the Temperature control(s). See “Using the
Controls.”
4. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.
5. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop
them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and
mold from building up.
Moving
When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home, follow
these steps to prepare it for the move.
1. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one
day ahead of time.
Disconnect the water line from the back of the
refrigerator.
When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff arm
to the OFF (up) position or press the switch to OFF,
depending on your model.
2. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen
food in dry ice.
3. Empty the ice bin.
4. Turn off the Temperature control(s). See “Using the
Controls.”
5. Unplug refrigerator.
6. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.
7. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.
8. Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator so
it rolls more easily or raise the leveling screws so they don't
scrape the floor. See “Adjust the Doors or “Door Closing
and Door
Alignment.”
9. Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the back of
the refrigerator.
When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to
the “Installation Instructions” section for preparation instructions.
Also, if your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, remember to
reconnect the water supply to the refrigerator.
