TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM
Refrigerator does not operate.
Compressor turns on and off
frequently.
Temperature inside the refrigerator
is too warm.
Temperature inside the refrigerator
is too cold.
Temperature of external refrigerator
surface is warm.
Popping or cracking sound when
compressor comes on.
CAUSE/SOLUTION
• Not plugged in.
• The circuit breaker tripped or a blown fuse.
• The room temperature is hotter than normal.
• A large amount of food has been added to the
refrigerator.
• The door is opened too often.
• The door is not closed completely.
• The temperature control is not set correctly.
• The door gasket does not seal properly.
• The refrigerator does not have the correct clearances.
• The refrigerator has recently been disconnected for
a period of time. A 4 hour period is required for
the refrigerator to cool down completely.
• Temperature control is set too warm. Turn the
control to a cooler setting and allow several hours
for the temperature to stabilize.
• Door is kept open too long or is opened too
frequently. Warm air enters the refrigerator every
time the door is opened. Open the door less often.
• The door is not closed completely.
• The door gasket does not seal properly.
• A large amount of warm or hot food might have
been stored recently. Wait until the refrigerator
has had a chance to reach its selected temperature.
• The refrigerator has recently been disconnected for
a period of time. Allow several hours for the
temperature to stabilize.
• Temperature control is set too cold. Turn the
control to a warmer setting and allow several
hours for the temperature to stabilize.
• The exterior refrigerator walls can be as much as
30ºF warmer than room temperature. This is
normal while the compressor works to transfer
heat from inside the refrigerator cabinet.
• Metal parts undergo expansion and contraction, as
in hot water pipes. This is normal. Sound will level
off or disappear as refrigerator continues to run.
