TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Solution
The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool completely.
See the ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS section.
Push the doors firmly shut. If they will not shut all the way, see
Doors Will Not Close Completely below.
This prevents air transfer and makes the motor work
harder. Clean the condenser coils. Refer to the CARE AND
CLEANING section.
See the REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION and DOOR
ALIGNMENT section to level refrigerator.
Rearrange food containers to clear door and door shelves.
Push bins all the way in and put crisper cover, pans, shelves
and baskets into their correct positions. See USING YOUR
REFRIGERATOR section.
Clean gaskets and the surface that they touch. Rub a thin
coat of paraffin wax on the gaskets after cleaning.
Remove and replace the doors according to the REMOVING
AND REPLACING THE REFRIGERATOR DOORS section, or
call a qualified service technician.
When you open the door, warmer air enters the refrigerator.
As 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.
Clean gaskets and the surface that they touch. Rub a thin
coat of appliance polish or paraffin wax on the gaskets after
cleaning.
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.
Call a plumber to clear the valve and water supply.
Select larger cube size using Ice Cube Size selector button.
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.
See Doors Will Not Close Completely above.
When the door is opened, warm, humid air is allowed in the
freezer resulting in frost.
