TURNING THE COOLING SYSTEM ON AND OFF
You can disable the cooling system in your refrigerator by pressing the
On/Off button located on the left side of the temperature control panel. To
ensure that you do not accidentally turn off the cooling system, the button
does not work unless you press and hold it for three seconds. Once you
disable the cooling system, all refrigeration to the freezer and fresh food
compartments stops. To turn the cooling system back on, you must again
press and hold the On/Off button for three more seconds.

cooling system. Power to lights and other electrical components
continues unless you unplug the power cord.
