General information
Before calling for service, review this list. It may save you both time and expense.
This list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective
workmanship or materials in this appliance.
Possible cause
Refrigerator is in defrost cycle.
Plug at wall outlet is disconnected.
Power outage. Check house lights.
Refrigerator is larger than the previous
one you owned.
Room or outside weather is hot.
Refrigerator has recently been
disconnected for a period of time.
Large amounts of warm or hot food may
have been stored recently.
Doors are opened too frequently or too
long.
Refrigerator or freezer door may be
slightly open.
Refrigerator control is set too cold.
Refrigerator or freezer gasket is dirty,
worn, cracked, or poorly fitted.
Thermostat is keeping the refrigerator at
a constant temperature.

Solution
Set refrigerator control. See setting the
controls.
This is normal for a fully automatic
defrosting refrigerator. The defrost cycle
occurs periodically.
Make sure plug is tightly pushed into
outlet.
Call your electricity supplier.
This is normal. Larger, more efficient
units run longer in these conditions.
It is normal for the refrigerator to work
harder under these conditions.
It takes some hours for the refrigerator
to cool down completely.
Warm food will cause the refrigerator
to run longer until the desired
temperature is reached.
Warm air entering the refrigerator
causes it to run longer. Open the door
less often.
Make sure the refrigerator is level. It is
normal for the refrigerator to have a
slight lean backwards. Keep food and
containers from blocking door. See
problem section OPENING/CLOSING
of doors.
Set the refrigerator control to a
warmer setting until the refrigerator
temperature is satisfactory.
Clean or change gasket. Leaks in the
door seal will cause refrigerator to run
longer in order to maintain desired
temperatures.
This is normal. Refrigerator goes on and
off to keep the temperature constant.
