Alarm Functions
Master Alarm Reset
Pressing Alarm Reset once will turn off the audio alarm and
indicator light. The audio alarm will not sound again for the
current condition that caused the alarm until a new condition
occurs or until a Master Alarm Reset is performed.
A Master Alarm Reset can be performed by pressing Cooling
(ON/OFF) twice or by turning the power to the refrigerator off and
on again. See “Power On/Off Switch.” After performing a Master
Alarm Reset, the indicator light will reactivate if the condition that
caused the alarm is still present. See “Over Temperature,” “Call
Service,” or “Door Open.”
Door Open
The Door Open indicator light will flash, an alarm will sound and
the interior lights will turn off when a door has been open for
longer than 10 minutes. When the door is closed, the audio alarm
will reset and turn off, but the Door Open indicator light will
continue to flash until the temperature is equal to or below 45°F
(7°C) and 15°F (-9°C) for the refrigerator and freezer
compartments, respectively.
NOTE: To deactivate the audio alarm and indicator light, see
“Master Alarm Reset.”
Over Temperature
IMPORTANT: If the Over Temperature Alarm activates, your food
may spoil. See the “Power Interruptions.” Minimize door
openings until temperatures return to normal.
The Over Temperature feature is designed to let you know when
either the refrigerator temperature rises above 48°F (9°C) or the
freezer temperature rises above 15°F (-9°C) for longer than
1
¹⁄₂ hours. The audio alarm will shut off automatically when the
temperature returns to normal, but the indicator light will continue
to flash until the Alarm is pressed to let you know that an over
temperature condition has occurred.
If the over temperature condition is still present when an Over
Temperature Reset is performed, the indicator light will continue
to reactivate every 1
¹⁄₂ hours until refrigerator and freezer
temperatures are below 48°F (9°C) and 15°F (-9°C), respectively.
NOTE: To deactivate the audio alarm and indicator light, see
“Master Alarm Reset.”
Call Service
If the Call Service indicator light is flashing, call for service. See
the “Assistance or Service” section for information on calling for
service.
NOTE: To deactivate the audio alarm and indicator light, see
“Master Alarm Reset.”
Holiday Mode
The Holiday Mode feature is designed for the traveler or for those
whose religious observances require turning off the lights and ice
maker. By selecting this feature, the temperature set points and
Deli Pan settings remain unchanged, the ice maker will be
disabled and the interior lights will turn off. For most efficient
refrigerator operation, it is recommended to exit the Holiday
Mode when it is no longer required.
To fully activate Holiday Mode, you must follow the instructions
below for both the control panel and dispenser panel (on some
models).
IMPORTANT: If you do not activate Holiday Mode in both ways
listed below, some functions you wish to disable will remain
active.
