TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Then...
Floor is weak or uneven or leveling legs need adjusting.
See INSTALLATION section on page 8 and 15.
Then...
Firmly plug the cord into a live outlet with proper voltage.
Unplug the refrigerator. Gently remove the bulb and reinsert.
Then plug in the refrigerator and reset the refrigerator control.
Replace with an appliance bulb of the same wattage, size and
shape available at your local hardware store. (See the LIGHT
BULB REPLACEMENT section on pages 26-27.) Unplug the
refrigerator prior to replacement.
Shutting doors for one second will cause the light bulbs to
come back on.
Then...
The high efficiency compressor may cause your new
refrigerator to run more than your older one, but is still more
energy efficient than previous models.
The motor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal
room temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to
80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run
even more often.
Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator.
It is normal for the refrigerator to run longer in order to cool the
refrigerator back down. In order to conserve energy, try to get
everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food
organized so it is easy to find and close the door as soon as
the food is removed. See the FOOD STORAGE GUIDE
section on page 18.
The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool completely.
See the ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS section on page 18.
Push the doors firmly shut. If they will not shut all the way, see
DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY on page 35.
This prevents air transfer and makes the motor work harder.
Clean the back cover. Refer to the CARE AND CLEANING
section on page 26-27.
