TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Then...
Wait 24 hours after hook-up for ice production. See the
CONTROL PANEL FEATURES section.
Check to see if something is holding the door open.
Then...
Call a plumber to clear the valve.
Then...
Clean gaskets and the surfaces that they touch. Rub
a thin coat of appliance polish or paraffin wax on the
gaskets after cleaning.
When you open the door, warmer air enters the
refrigerator. As the warm air cools, it can create a
vacuum. If the door is hard to open, wait 5 minutes
to allow the air pressure to equalize, then see if it
opens more easily.
Then...
Move the switch to the I (on) position.
See the CONNECTING THE WATER LINE section.
Wait 24 hours for the freezer to reach its ideal
temperature.
Level cubes by hand or shake the bin occasionally.
Then...
Locate air vents by using your hand to sense airflow and
move all packages that block vents and restrict airflow.
Refer to ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION
section for the location of air vents.
