PROBLEM
REFRIGERATOR
DOES NOT OPERATE
POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY
May be in defrost cycle when motor does not operate for about 35 minutes.
Temperature control in OFF position.
If interior light is not on, refrigerator may not be plugged in at wall outlet.
If plug is secure and the refrigerator still fails to operate, plug a lamp or a small
appliance into the same outlet to determine if there is a tripped circuit breaker or
burned out fuse.
MOTOR OPERATES
FOR LONG PERIODS
Modern refrigerators with more storage space and a larger freezer compartment
require more operating time.
Normal when refrigerator is first delivered to your home-usually requires 24 hours
to completely cool down.
Large amounts of food placed in refrigerator to be cooled or frozen.
Hot weather-frequent door openings.
Door left open.
Temperature controls are set too cold. Refer to page 5.
Grille and condenser need cleaning. Refer to page 11.
Check ENERGY-SAVING TIPS on page 2.
MOTOR STARTS &
STOPS FREQUENTLY
Temperature control starts and stops motor to maintain even temperatures.
VIBRATION OR
RATTLING
If refrigerator vibrates, more than likely it is
not resting solidly on the floor. The front
roller screws need adjusting, or floor is weak or uneven. Refer to ROLLERS on page 4.
If dishes vibrate on shelves, try moving them. Slight vibration is normal.
OPERATING
the large freezer compartment may produce higher sound levels
than
your old refrigerator.
