TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Then...
u Modern refrigerators with more storage
space require more operating time.
u The motor will run longer under warm
conditions. 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.
u Adding food and opening the door
warms the refrigerator.
It is normal for the refrigerator to run
longer in order to cool the refrigerator
back down. Adding a large amount of
food warms the refrigerator. See the
Food Storage Guide section on page
17. In order to conserve energy, try to
get everything you need out of the
refrigerator at once, keep food organized
so it is easy to find and close the door as
soon as the food is removed.
u The refrigerator will take up to 24
hours to cool completely.
u See the Adjusting Control Settings
section on page 17.
u Push the doors firmly shut. If they will
not shut all the way, see Doors will
not close completely below.
u This prevents air transfer and makes
the motor work harder.
Clean the condenser coils. Refer to
the Care and Cleaning section on
pages 26-27.
u See Leveling and Door Alignment
on page 13.
u Rearrange food containers to clear
door and door shelves.
u Push bins all the way in and put
crisper cover, pans, shelves and
baskets into their correct positions.
See the Using Your Refrigerator
section on pages 14-25.
u Clean gaskets and the surface that
they touch. Rub a thin coat of paraffin
wax on the gaskets after cleaning.
u Level the refrigerator. Refer to the
Leveling and Door Alignment
section on page 13.
u Remove and replace the doors
according to the Removing and
Replacing Refrigerator handles and
doors section on pages 7–12, or call a
qualified service technician.
u See Doors will not close completely
above.
u When the door is opened, warm,
humid air is allowed in the freezer,
resulting in frost.
