Before Calling For Assistance - Whirlpool ED25PWXTW00 Use & Care Manual

Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from little things
you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.
If your refrigerator will not operate:
• Is the electric cord plugged into a live circuit with
proper voltage? (See page 4.)
• Have you checked your home's main fuses or
circuit breaker box?
• Is the Refrigerator Control ON?
If there is a rattling or jingling noise or unfamiliar
sounds:
• Is something on top or behind the refrigerator
making noise when the refrigerator is running?
• New features on your new refrigerator make new
sounds. You may be hearing air flowing from the
fans, timer clicks for the defrosting cycle, or defrost
water draining in the defrost pan.
If your ice maker will not operate:
• Has the freezer had enough time to get cold? With a
new refrigerator, this might take overnight.
• Is the signal arm ON...in the down position?
• Is the water valve turned on? Is water getting to the
ice maker?
If there is water in the defrost pan:
• This is normal in hot, muggy weather. The pan can
even be half full. Make sure the refrigerator is level
so the pan does not overflow.
If the lights are not working:
• Have you checked your home's main fuses or
circuit breaker?
• Is the power supply cord plugged into a live circuit
with the proper voltage? (See page 4.)
If a bulb is burned out:
• See instructions for changing light bulbs on page 7.
Use appliance bulbs only.
If the motor seems to run too much:
• Is the condensor free of dust and lint?
• On hot days, or if the room is warm, the motor
naturally runs longer.
• If the door has been opened a lot, or if a large
amount of food has been put in, the motor will run
longer to cool down the interior.
Remember: Motor running time depends on differ-
ent things; number of door openings, amount of food
stored; temperature of the room, setting of the
controls.
Your new refrigerator may be larger than your old
one so it has more space to be cooled. It also has a
regular freezer instead of a frozen food compartment.
All this means better refrigeration and may require
more running time than your old one.
