Refrigerator operation
CONCERN
Appliance will not run
It is normal for the freezer fan not to
operate during the automatic defrost cycle,
or for a short time after the appliance is
switched on.
Compressor motor seems to run too long
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.
The exterior of the appliance is warm or hot
to touch
This is normal because the appliance
transfers heat from the inside out through
the outer panels and the divider between
the doors.
User interface will not respond
To ensure settings are not accidentally
changed the user interface will go into
sleep mode when not in use. Press any
button to wake user interface

The LED lighting is designed to dim
automatically if the door is left opened

on gradually.
