We suggest you follow
these steps:
1. Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often resull from lillle
lhings you can find and lix yourself wilhoul tools
of any kind.
If your refrigerator will not operate:
l
Is the power supply cord plugged into a live
circuit wilh proper voltage? (See page 4.)
l
Have you checked your home’s main fuses or
circuit breaker box?
l
Is the Refrigerator Control ON?
If there Is a rattling or jingling noise or
unfamlllar sounds:
l
Is something on lop of or behind the refrigerator
making noise when the refrigerator is running?
l
New features on your new refrigeralor make new
sounds. You may be hearing air flowing from Ihe
fans, limer clicks for the defrosting cycle, or
delrosl waler draining in Ihe defrost pan.
If your Ice maker will not operate:
l
Has the freezer had enough lime lo gel cold?
Wilh a new refrigerator, lhis might lake overnight.
l
Is the signal arm ON.. .in Ihe down position7
l
Is the waler valve turned on? Is waler getting lo
the ice maker?
If there Is water in the defrost pan:
l
This is normal in hol, muggy wealher. The pan
can even be half full. Make sure the refrigerator is
level so the pan does nol overflow.
If the light does not work:
l
Have you checked your home’s main fuses or
circuit breaker box?
l
Is the power supply cord plugged into a live
circuit wilh proper voltage? (See page 4.)
If a bulb Is burned out:
l
See instructions for changing light bulbs on
page 10. Use appliance bulbs only.
If the motor seems to run too much:
l
Is the condenser free of dust and linl?
l
On hot days, or if the room is warm, the motor
naturally runs longer.
l
If the door has been opened a loI, or if a large
amount of food has been put in, Ihe motor will
run longer lo cool down Ihe interior.
Remember:
Motor running lime depends on diHeren1 Ihings:
number of door openings, amount of food stored,
temperalure of the room, setting of Ihe conlrols.
Your new refrigerator may be larger than your
old one so it has more space lo be cooled. I1 also
has a regular freezer instead of a frozen food com-
partment All this means better refrigeration and
may require more running lime than vour old one.
