CORRECTION
• Use another circuit. If you are unsure about the outlet,
have it checked by a certified technician.
• See Setting the Temperature Control section.
• Ensure plug is tightly pushed into outlet.
• Check/replace fuse with a 15 amp time-delay fuse. Reset
circuit breaker.
• Check house lights. Call local Electric Company.
• It's normal for the Refrigerator to work harder under these
conditions.
• It takes 4 hours for the Refrigerator to cool down
completely.
• Warm food will cause Refrigerator to run more until the
desired temperature is reached.
• Warm air entering the Refrigerator causes it to run more.
Open doors less often.
• See "DOOR PROBLEMS" section.
• Turn control knob to a warmer setting. Allow several hours
for the temperature to stabilize.
• Clean or change gasket. Leaks in the door seal will cause
Refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain desired
temperature.
