Won’t run
Check these points if your refrigerator...
• the temperature control turned to “Off”
• the power cord not plugged in
• no power at the electrical outlet
• the circuit breaker tripped or the house fuse blown
• refrigerator is in automatic defrost
• modern refrigerators are larger and run colder, which requires more running time to
provide more stable temperatures
• prolonged door openings
• the base grille blocked
• too many door openings
• the door not sealing (due to a package or a container holding door open)
• warm room temperature
• the cabinet not level
• a weak floor
• odor producing foods should be covered or wrapped
• the interior needs cleaning
• normal air flow for condenser circulation
• the cabinet not level
• a weak floor
• can occur during hot, humid weather with frequent or prolonged door openings
• door not closed properly
• food not wrapped properly
• hot, humid weather
• the normal setting has been chosen
• the drawer has not been opened for four weeks
• for best results, refrigerator and freezer controls should be set at the mid (5) levels
• After drawer openings, the addition of a new load or changing settings, the readout
may vary. The temperature will recover in a short period of time.
• the refrigerator or freezer control set too warm
• prolonged door openings
• the refrigerator control set too cold
• a normal sound caused by defrost water dripping on defrost mechanism
• the appearance of a red glow or reflection is normal during the defrost cycle
• products with high sugar content may not harden completely when frozen (ice cream,
concentrated juice, etc.)
• adjust freezer control to a colder setting
• This is normal. The control will count down 12 months or 416 gallons whether the
filter or the filter bypass is in place. Reset the light (see pg. 11)
• cold air moving over the ice cubes causes shrinkage, especially with limited usage.
This is normal
• the stop arm in OFF (up) position
• the water supply turned off
• the water pressure too low
• the freezer too warm
• special design to limit condensation during periods of high humidity
• ice jam in the dispenser
• ice maker not operating
• lock switch on (see page 11)
• water supply turned off
• water pressure too low
• lock switch on (see pg. 11)
