Troubleshooting: Malfunctions
Refrigerator Does Not Operate
Check for power failure, plug insertion, voltage, and thermostat setting.
Inefficient Cooling Issues
Check temperature control, ambient heat sources, food temperature, quantity, and door usage.
Food Freezing in Refrigerator Compartment
Check temperature control setting and food placement against the inner side.
Excessive Noise or Abnormal Sound
Check floor level, wall clearance, and note that sound may occur during start/stop or on certain floors.
Not a Malfunction: Normal Occurrences
Surface Dew Formation
Dew on the surface is normal in humid environments; wipe with a clean soft cloth.
Sound of Flowing Water/Refrigerant
Sound is normal from refrigerant flow or parts contracting/expanding due to temperature changes.
Surface Warmth
Surface may become warm due to high temperature pipes preventing dewing; this is a normal effect.
Inner Compartment Dew Formation
Inner dew is normal in humid environments or from prolonged door opening; check food packing.
