Installation Checks
Anti-tip mounting bracket must be installed cor-
rectly and anchored to prevent cabinet from tip-
ping forward.
Module should be engaged in the slots on the
module positioning brackets and seated on the
foam seal without air gaps. Module positioning
brackets should not be removed.
All wires from the lower cabinet to module must
be securely connected. If a problem is suspected,
inspect both male and female plugs and insure
that the terminals in the plug are sufficiently for-
ward to engage.
Cabinet must be level both side-to-side and
front-to-back. Front leveling legs should rest
firmly on the floor. Cabinetry on both sides of the
cabinet must be secure and level to prevent the
cabinet from shifting when the doors are opened.
Doors must not hit adjacent walls or countertops.
Gaskets must seal completely. If gaskets seal well,
no further adjustments need to be made.
On models with ice makers, check water connec-
tions for leaks. If water is not yet connected, the
plastic water fill tube to the freezer compartment
must either be attached to the solenoid or sealed
to prevent air leaking into the cabinet.
Brown and white wires should be connected to the
solenoid. The remaining Molex connector plugs
into the power module.
Do NOT overcrowd the shelves or block cold air
ducts.
Do NOT install a refrigerator shelf closer than 8
inches from the interior top.
Do NOT allow packages to overhang sides or rear
of shelves as this will block air circulation, making
the refrigerator less efficient.

INSTALLATION CHECKS/COMMON ERRORS

Common Installation Errors
Any air leaks between the module and the cabinet
will keep the cabinet from operating efficiently.
The water supply line and electric outlet must be
located in a manner that will not interfere with
module to cabinet alignment when the unit is
pushed into place.
Power cord to outlet sitting under the power mod-
ule will create an air leak.
Ice maker fill tube (plastic) not connected or loose
creating a water and/or air leak.
Plugs from cabinet not connected to the ice maker
and/or power module.
Floor under products lower than finished floor
making the unit inaccessible for service. Floor
under product must be strong enough to support
weight of fully loaded refrigerator.
Product not anchored properly (to prevent tipping).
Bracket not secured to rear wall studs or screws
through product side trim into adjoining cabinets
or walls.
