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 outlet working?

 Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet 

is working.

Household fuse blown, or a circuit breaker tripped?

Replace the fuse or reset the circuit. If the problem 

continues, call an electrician.

Are controls on?

 Be sure that the refrigerator 

controls are on. Refer “Controls” section.

THE MOTOR SEEMS TO RUN TOO MUCH

Is the temperature outside hotter than normal?

Expect the motor to run longer under warm 

conditions. At normal temperatures, expect your 

motor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under 

warmer conditions, expect it to run even more of the 

time.

Has a large amount of food just been added to the 

refrigerator?

 Adding a large amount of food warms 

the refrigerator. It is normal for the motor to run 

longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down.

Is the door opened often?

 Expect the motor to run 

longer when this occurs. In order to conserve energy, 

try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator 

at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find, and 

close the door as soon as the food is removed.

Is the control set correctly for the surrounding 

conditions?

 Refer “Controls” section.

Is the door closed completely?

 Push the door firmly 

shut. If it will not shut all the way, refer “The door will 

not close completely” later in this section.

Are the condenser coils dirty? 

This obstructs air 

transfer and makes the motor work harder. Clean the 

condenser coils. Refer “Cleaning” section.

TEMPERATURE AND MOISTURE

TEMPERATURE IS TOO WARM

Is the door opened often?

 Be aware that the 

refrigerator will warm up when this occurs. In order 

to keep the refrigerator cool, try to get everything 

you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food 

organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as 

soon as the food is removed.

Has a large amount of food just been added to the 

refrigerator? 

Adding a large amount of food warms 

the refrigerator. It can take several hours for the 

refrigerator to return to the normal temperature.

Is the control set correctly for the surrounding 

conditions? 

Refer “Using the Controls.”

Is the base grille blocked?

 For best performance, do 

not install the refrigerator behind a cabinet door or 

block the base grille.

THERE IS INTERIOR MOISTURE BUILDUP

Is the door opened often?

 To avoid humidity 

buildup, try to get everything you need out of the 

refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy 

to find, and close the door as soon as the food is 

removed. When the door is opened, humidity from 

the room air enters the refrigerator. The more often 

the door is opened, the faster humidity builds up, 

especially when the room itself is very humid.

Is it humid?

 It is normal for moisture to build up 

inside the refrigerator when the air is humid.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, 
fire, or electrical shock.
