Refrigerator Operation
The refrigerator will not operate
■
Power 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 circuit breaker tripped? Replace
the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues,
call an electrician.
■
Are controls on? Make sure the refrigerator controls are on.
See “Using the Controls.”
■
New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the
refrigerator to cool completely.
NOTE: Adjusting the temperature controls to coldest setting
will not cool either compartment more quickly.
The motor seems to run too much
Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its
high-efficiency compressor and fans. The unit may run even
longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, doors are
opened often, or if the doors have been left open.
The refrigerator seems noisy
Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this
reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new
refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below are
listed some normal sounds with explanations.
■
Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice
maker
■
Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize
performance
■
Hissing/Rattling - flow of refrigerant, movement of water
lines, or from items placed on top of the refrigerator
■
Sizzling/Gurgling - water dripping on the heater during
defrost cycle
■
Popping - contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially
during initial cool-down
■
Water running - may be heard when water melts during the
defrost cycle and runs into the drain pan
■
Creaking/Cracking - occurs as ice is being ejected from the
ice maker mold.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
