POSSIBLE CAUSE
• May be in defrost cycle when compressor does not operate for about
30 minutes.
• Temperature control set at OFF.
• If interior light is not on, refrigerator may not be plugged in at
wall outlet.
• The fuse is blown/circuit breaker is tripped. Replace fuse or reset
the breaker.
• Normal when refrigerator is first plugged in. Wait 24 hours for the
refrigerator to completely cool down.
• Often occurs when large amounts of food are placed in refrigerator.
This is normal.
• Door left open or package holding door open.
• Hot weather or frequent door openings. This is normal.
• Temperature controls set at the coldest setting. See Temperature
Controls.
• Refrigerator just plugged in. Allow 24 hours for system to stabilize.
• Door open for too long. Allow 24 hours for system to stabilize.
• Warm food added to refrigerator. Allow 24 hours for system
to stabilize.
• Defrost cycle is in process. Allow 24 hours for system to stabilize.
• Refrigerator is not level. See Installation Instructions.
• Normal fan air flow–one fan blows cold air through the
fresh food and freezer compartments–another fan cools
the compressor motor.
• These NORMAL sounds will also be heard from time to time:
• Defrost water dripping.
• Refrigerant boiling or gurgling.
• Cracking or popping of cooling coils caused by expansion and
contraction during defrost and refrigeration following defrost.
• Ice cubes dropping into the bin and water running in pipes
as icemaker refills.
• The icemaker water valve will buzz when the icemaker fills
with water.
