Light bulb replacement
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Before replacing a Compartment Lamp,
either unplug the refrigerator or turn off
power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
NOTE
The refrigerator and freezer compartment
lights are LED interior lighting, and
service should be performed by a
qualified technician.
Power interruptions
1
If the power will be out for 24 hours or
less, keep all refrigerator doors closed to
help foods stay cold and frozen.
2
If the power will be out for more than 24
hours, remove all food and store it in a
different refrigerator or frozen food locker.
When you go on vacation
If you choose to leave the refrigerator on while
you are away, follow these steps to prepare your
refrigerator before you leave.
1
Use up any perishables and freeze other
items.
2
Turn off the icemaker and empty the ice
bin.
If you choose to turn the refrigerator off before
you leave, follow these steps.
1
Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2
Depending on your model, set the
thermostat control (refrigerator control) to
OFF. See the Setting the Controls section.
3
Clean the refrigerator, wipe it and dry well.
4
Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of
both doors to prop them open far enough
for air to get in. This stops odor and mold
from building up.
When you move
When you are moving your refrigerator to a new
home, follow these steps to prepare it for the
move.
1
Remove all food from the refrigerator and
pack all frozen food in dry ice.
2
Unplug the refrigerator.
3
Clean, wipe and dry thoroughly.
4
Take out all removable parts, wrap them
well and tape them together so they do
not shift and rattle during the move. Refer
to the Using your Refrigerator section for
removable instructions.
5
Depending on the model, raise the front of
the refrigerator so it rolls easier OR screw
in the leveling legs all the way so they do
not scrape the floor. See the Door Closing
section.
6
Tape the doors shut and tape the power
cord to the refrigerator cabinet.
7
Avoid lying the refrigerator on its sides as
this could cause the unit to malfunction
when it is turned back on.
