VACATION CARE

IF YOU CHOOSE TO TURN THE REFRIGERATOR 

DRAWERS OFF BEFORE YOU LEAVE:

1. 

Remove all food/beverages/ice from the refrigerator 

drawers.

2. 

Turn Off the Control Panel for the Upper and the 

Lower drawers. See “Controls.”

3. 

Clean refrigerator drawers, wipe and dry them well.

4. 

Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both 

drawers to prop them open far enough for air to get 

in. This stops odor and mold from building up.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.

OPERATION

Power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a 

grounded 3 prong outlet.

Is the refrigerator control set to the Cool Off 

setting? See “Controls.”

Household fuse blown, or a circuit breaker tripped? 

Replace the fuse or reset the circuit. If the problem 

continues, call an electrician.

Are the refrigerator drawers not cooling? Turn 

them off then on again to reset. See “Controls.” If this 

does not correct the problem, call for service.

THE MOTOR SEEMS TO RUN TOO MUCH

Is the room temperature outside hotter than 

normal? The motor will run longer under warm 

conditions. At normal room temperatures, expect 

your motor to run about 80% of the time. Under 

warmer conditions, it will run even more.

Has a large amount of food just been added to the 

refrigerator drawers? Adding a large amount of food 

warms the refrigerator drawers. It is normal for the 

motor to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator 

drawer back down.

Are the drawers opened often? The motor will run 

longer when this occurs. Conserve energy by getting 

all items out at one time, keeping food organized, and 

closing the drawer as soon as possible.

Are the controls not set correctly for the 

surrounding conditions? Refer “Controls” section.

Are the drawers not closed completely? Close the 

drawers firmly. If they do not close completely, see 

“The drawers will not close completely” later in this 

section.

Are the drawer gaskets not sealed all the way 

around? Contact a technician or other qualified 

person.

THE REFRIGERATOR DRAWERS SEEMS TO MAKE TOO 

MUCH NOISE

The sounds may be normal for your refrigerator 

drawers. See “Normal Sounds.”

THE DIVIDER BETWEEN THE TWO COMPARTMENTS IS 

WARM
The warmth is probably due to normal operation of the 

automatic exterior moisture control. If still concerned, call 

for service.

TEMPERATURE AND MOISTURE

TEMPERATURE IS TOO WARM

Are the air vents blocked in either compartment? 

This obstructs cold air movement between the 

compartments. Remove any objects from in front of 

the air vents. See “Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” for 

the location of air vents.

Are the drawers opened often? The refrigerator 

drawers will warm when this occurs. Keep the 

refrigerator drawers 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 drawers? Adding a large amount of food 

warms the refrigerator drawers. It can take several 

hours for the refrigerator drawers to return to the 

normal temperature.

Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding 

conditions? See “Controls.”

Are the refrigerator drawers not cooling? Turn 

them off then on again to reset. See “Controls.” If this 

does not correct the problem, call for service.
