Tips on saving energy
• Locate your refrigerator in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts and out
of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in your refrigerator. Overloading your refrigerator forces
the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Wrap foods correctly and wipe containers dry before placing them in your refrigerator. This cuts down on frost
build-up.
• Do not line the refrigerator storage shelves with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold
air circulation and make your refrigerator less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one
time, and close the door as soon as possible.
Troubleshooting
CAUTION: Do not try to repair your refrigerator yourself. Doing so invalidates the warranty.
PROBLEM
My refrigerator does not work.
The refrigerator compartment
has a bad odor.
The refrigerator doors do not
close completely.
The temperature is too hot.
The temperature is too cold.
Ice is not dispensing.
SOLUTION
• Make sure that your refrigerator is securely plugged into a working outlet.
• Make sure that your power source has the correct voltage. Your refrigerator's
voltage rating is on a label located on the back of your refrigerator.
• Check the house fuse or circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the
circuit breaker.
• Wait for the defrost cycle to end and cooling system to restart.
• Make sure that all food with a strong odor (like onions) is wrapped or stored in
airtight packaging.
• Certain containers and wrapping materials (such as paper, foil, or plastic) can
cause odors. If you think this might be the case, try using different containers or
a different brand of wrapping material.
• Check for spoiled food and remove it.
• Clean the inside of your refrigerator. See Cleaning your refrigerator on page 30.
• Make sure that no food packages are in the way.
• Make sure that the door gaskets (seals) are clean. See Cleaning your refrigerator
on page 30.
• If the door gasket does not seal, try heating then cooling the seal. You can use an
electric hair dryer to heat the seal.
• Make sure that your refrigerator is level. See Leveling your refrigerator and
adjusting the drawers on page 13.
• Make sure that the top of your refrigerator is tilted backward about 0.4" (10 mm)
to 0.6" (15 mm). See Leveling your refrigerator and adjusting the drawers on
page 13.
• You may have left the doors open too long or opened them too frequently.
• Make sure that no obstacle is keeping the doors from closing correctly.
• Adjust the refrigerator or freezer compartment temperature. Allow 24 hours for
the temperature to adjust. See Setting the refrigerator temperature on page 25
or Setting the freezer temperature on page 25.
• Your refrigerator may not have enough clearance from walls or the ceiling. See
Providing correct ventilation on page 11.
• Adjust the refrigerator or freezer compartment temperature. Allow 24 hours for
the temperature to adjust. See Setting the refrigerator temperature on page 25
or Setting the freezer temperature on page 25.
• After you install the water supply line, you should wait 12 hours before you try
dispensing ice. If the water is not sufficiently cooled, your refrigerator takes
longer to make ice.
• Make sure that the water line is connected and the water valve open. See
Connecting the water supply on page 21.
• Make sure that the water line is not kinked or bent.
• Make sure that the ice dispenser is not in off mode.
• Make sure that no ice is blocking the ice maker bucket or ice chute.
• If the water pressure is less than 30 psi (206 kPa), try installing a booster pump to
compensate for the low pressure.
• Make sure that the freezer compartment temperature is not set too warm. Try
setting the freezer temperature lower. See Setting the freezer temperature on
page 25.
• If you just dispensed a large amount of ice, wait at least 90 minutes before
dispensing more ice.
