Solutions to Common Problems
Correction
• It's normal for the refrigerator to work longer under
these conditions.
• It takes 8-12 hours for the refrigerator to cool down
completely.
• Ice maker operation causes refrigerator to run slightly
more.
• Warm air entering the refrigerator causes it to run more.
Open doors less often.
• Ensure refrigerator is level. Keep food and containers
from blocking door. See Problem section, Opening/
Closing of Doors/ Drawers.
• Set freezer control to warmer setting until refrigerator
temperature is satisfactory. Allow 24 hours for
temperature to stabilize.
•
Clean or change gasket. Leaks in door seal will cause
refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain desired
temperatures.
• It is normal for the compressor to run for long periods
of time.
•
Call your Electrolux service representative, who can
interpret any messages or number codes flashing on
the digital displays.
Correction
• Set freezer control to a warmer setting. Allow 24 hours
for temperature to stabilize.
• It is normal for the freezer compartment to over cool
while automatic ice maker is on.
• Set refrigerator control to a warmer setting. Allow 24
hours for temperature to stabilize.
• See solution above.
• Adjust Meat Keeper temperature control to a warmer
setting. Meat should be stored at a temperature just
below the freezing point for maximum fresh storage
time. It is normal for ice crystals to form due to the
moisture content of meat.
Correction
• Warm air enters the refrigerator whenever the door is
opened. Open the door less often.
• See Problem section, Opening/Closing of Doors/
Drawers.
• Set freezer control to a colder setting. Allow 24 hours
for temperature to stabilize.
