problems
are sometimes
caused
by
little things
you can correct
without
tools.
Before
you
call for service,
check
this list.
If your refrigerator
will not operate:
l
Is the electric
cord
plugged
in?
l
Is a fuse blown
or a circuit
breaker
tnpped?
l
Is the Refrigerator
Control
dial turned
ON?
If your ice maker
will not operate:
l
Has the freezer
had enough
time to get cold?
With
a new refrigerator,
this might
take
overnight.
l
Is the signal
arm ON...in
the down
position?
l
Is the water
valve
turned
on, and
is water
getting
to the Ice maker?
If there
is a rattling
or jingling
noise,
or other
unfamlllar
sounds:
l
Is something
on top or behind
the refrigerator
mak-
ing noise when
the refrigerator
is running?

new
refrigerator

l
In hot, muggy
weather,
this is normal.
The pan
can
even
be almost

sure the refrigerator
is
level so the pan
doesn't
overflow.
If the light doesn't
work:
l
Check
fuses and
circuit
breakers.
Make
sure

be burned
out. Unplug
the refnger-
ator;
replace
the bulb

Then plug

If the motor seems to run too much:
l
Is the condenser,
behlnd

dust and
lint?
l
On hot days,
or if the
room
is warm,
the
