TROUblESHOOTING
Refrigerator Does Not Operate
• Check if the thermostat control is not in the OFF position.
• Check if the refrigerator is plugged in.
• Check if there is power at the AC outlet by checking the circuit breaker.
• Wait for 30-40 minutes to see whether the refrigerator will start. The compressor cycle must be
complete to operate.
Temperature appears too warm
• The door is kept open too long or is opened too frequently.
• Allow time for recently added warm food to reach refrigerator temperature. It is best to allow food to
cool before placing in the refrigerator.
• Check the door gaskets for a proper seal.
• Check to see if the door is completely closed.
• The temperature control is set too warm. Adjust the temperature control knob to a colder setting and
allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize.
• A large amount of warm or hot food might have been stored recently. Wait until the refrigerator has
had a chance to reach its selected temperature.
• The refrigerator has recently been disconnected for a period of time. Four hours are required for the
refrigerator to cool down completely.
Temperature is too cold
• If the temperature control setting is too cold, adjust to a warmer setting and allow several hours for the
temperature to adjust.
Compressor turns on and off frequently
• This may be normal to maintain a constant temperature during high room temperature and
humid days.
• A large amount of food has been added to the refrigerator.
• Doors may have been opened too frequently or for an extended period of time.
• Check the door gasket for a proper seal.
• Check to see if the door is completely closed.
• The condenser coils may need to be cleaned.
• The refrigerator does not have the correct clearances on either side for proper air circulation.
• The refrigerator has recently been disconnected for a period of time. Four hours are required for the
refrigerator to cool down completely.
Moisture forms on the inside of the refrigerator walls
• Weather is hot and humid, which increases the internal rate of frost buildup. This is normal.
• The door is slightly open.
• Doors may have been opened too frequently or for an extended period of time.
• Check the door gasket for a proper seal.
Moisture forms on the outside of the refrigerator
• The refrigerator door is slightly open, causing cold air from inside the refrigerator to meet warm air
from the outside.
