GENERAL OPERATION
Possible Causes and/or
Recommended
Solutions
Refrigerator will not operate
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

- Replace
the fuse or reset the circuit
breaker.
If the
problem

contact
a licensed
electrician.
Control
or cooling
is not turned
on - Turn on the refrigerator
control,
or turn cooling
on. See "Using the
Controls."
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.
Motor seems to run too much
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.
