Whirlpool ED19TK - Manual (Page 11)

If you need service or
assistance, we suggest
you follow these four steps:
1. Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from little things
you can find and fix yourself w i t h o u t t o o l s o f a n y hind
If your refrigerator will not operate:
• Is the electric cord plugged in^
• Is a fuse blown or a circuit breaker tripped"^
• Is the Temperature Control turned ON'’
If your ice maker will not operate:
• Has the freezer h a d enough time to get c o l d " ' With
a new refrigerator, this might take overnight
• Is the signal arm ON, ,in the down position’
• Is the water valve turned on’ Is water getting to the
ice maker’
If there 1$ a rattling or jingling noise, or other
unfamiliar sounds:
• Is something on top or behind the refrigerator mak­
ing noise when the refrigerator is running’
• New features on your new refrigerqtor make new
sounds. You may be hearing air flowing from the
fans, timer clicks for the defrosting cycle, defrost
water draining into the defrost pan
If fhere Is water in the defrost pan:
• In hot, muggy weather, this is normal The pan can
even be half full Make sure the refrigerator is level
so the pan doesn’t overflow
If the lights aren’t working;
• Check fuses and circuit breakers. Make sure it's
plugged in.
If a bulb is burned oul:
• See instructions for changing light bulbs on page
5 Use appliance bulbs only
If the motor seems to run too much:
• Is the condenser, behind the base grille, free of
dust and lint’
• On hot days, or if the room is warm, fine motor
naturally runs longer,
• If the door has been opened a lot, or if a large
amount of food has been put in, the motor will run
longer to cool down the interior.
Remember: Motor running time depends on dif­
ferent things: number of door openings, amount of
food stored, temperature of the room, setting of the
controls
And, your new refrigerator may be larger than
y o u r o l d o n e s o i t h a s m o r e s p a c e to be c o o l e d It
also has a regular freezer instead of a frozen food
compartment All this means better refrigeration and
may require more running time than your old one
