TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions
Not connected to an electrical supply - Plug the power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do
■
not use an extension cord.
No power to the electrical outlet - Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is working.
■
Household fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped - Replace the fuse or reset the circuit
■
breaker. If the problem continues, contact a licensed electrician.
New installation - Following installation, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator and freezer to cool
■
completely.
NOTE: Adjusting the temperature control(s) to the coldest setting will not cool either
compartment (refrigerator or freezer) more quickly.
Your new refrigerator has an energy-efficient motor - The refrigerator may run longer than
■
you're used to, because the compressor and fans operate at lower speeds that are more
energy-efficient. This is normal.
NOTE: Your refrigerator may run even longer if the room is warm, a large load of food is
added, the doors are opened often, or if a door has been left open.
4. Unplug refrigerator.
5. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.
6. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don't shift and rattle during the move.
7. Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator so
it rolls more easily or screw in the leveling legs so they don't
scrape the floor. See the "Adjust the Doors" or "Door Removal,
Leveling, and Adjustments" sections.
8. Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the back of
the refrigerator.
When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to
the Installation Instructions for preparation instructions. Also, if your
refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, remember to reconnect
the water supply to the refrigerator.
