POSSIBLE CAUSE
AND REMEDY
May be in defrost cycle when motor does not operate for about 30 minutes.
Temperature control in OFF position.
If interior light is not on, refrigerator may not be plugged in at wall outlet.
If plug is secure and the refrigerator still fails to operate, plug a lamp
or
a small
appliance into the same outlet to determine if there is a tripped circuit breaker or
burned out fuse.
Modern refrigerators with' more storage space and a larger freezer compartment
require more operating time.
Normal when refrigerator is first delivered to your home-usually requires 24
hours to completely cool down.
Large amounts of food placed in refrigerator to be cooled or frozen.
Hot weather-frequent door openings.
Door left open.
Temperature controls are set too cold. Refer to instructions for use of
TEMPERATURE CONTROLS on page 5.
Check ENERGY-SAVING TIPS on page 2.
Temperature control starts and stops motor to maintain even temperatures.
If refrigerator vibrates, more than likely it is not resting solidly on the floor and
front roller screws or front leveling legs need adjusting or floor is weak or uneven.
Refer to ROLLERVLEVELING LEGS on page
4.
If dishes vibrate on shelves, try moving them. Slight vibration is normal.
Normal air flow cooling motor. In the refrigeration process, it
is
normal that heat
be expelled in the area under the refrigerator. Some floor coverings will
discolor
at
these normal and safe operating temperatures. Your floor covering supplier should
be consulted if you object to this discoloration.
