This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word "DANGER" or

"WARNING." These words mean:

You will be killed or seriously injured if you don't

follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured ifyou don't

follow instructions.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can

happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic

precautions:

• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

• Do not remove ground prong.

SAVETHESE INSTRUCTIONS

ProperDisposalof

YourOld Refrigerator

Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:

• Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not

easily climb inside.

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death or

brain damage.

IMPORTANT - Child entrapment and suffocation are not

problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators

are still dangerous - even if they will sit for "just a few

days." If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please

follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install

refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Removing Packaging Materials

• Remove tape and any labels from your refrigerator

before using (except the model and serial number

label).

To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area

briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also

be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid

dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe

with warm water and dry.

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,

flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape

or glue. These products can damage the surface of

your refrigerator. For more information, see

"Refrigerator Safety" section.

On some models, shelves, bins, door shelf rails, and

other feature parts may be packaged in the Finishing

Touches TM FeaturePak. Follow the instructions

contained in the package for proper assembly.

IMPORTANT:

• Depending on your model, do not remove any

permanent instruction labels inside your refrigerator, or

the Tech Sheet that is fastened behind the base grille.

Depending on your model, do not remove the white

Styrofoam insert that is located behind the control

panel on the ceiling of the refrigerator. The insert is part

of the refrigerator and not part of the packing material.

If the insert is removed, ice may migrate down from the

freezer and cause icicles to form.

N e(u !,S

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as

gasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,

or fire.

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow

for a .5" (1.25 cm) space on each side

Allow 3" (7.5 cm) of space between overhead cabinets

and refrigerator top.

Allow at least 1" (2.5 cm) between back of cabinet and

the wall.

3" (7=5 cm)

II I

=5" (1=25cm)

• If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you

leave some extra space at the back for the water line

connections.

• If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall,

leave 2" (5 cm) minimum on the hinge side (depending

on your model) to allow for the door to swing open.

• Level the refrigerator (See "Door Closing and

Alignment").

NOTE: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator,

or other heat source, nor in a location where the

temperature will fall below 40 ° F (5° C).

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in

death, fire, or electrical shock.

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is

important to make sure you have the proper electrical

connection:

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 ampere fused,

grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended

that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be

provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a

switch. Do not use an extension cord.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning,

or removing a light bulb, turn the control, (Thermostat,

Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to

OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from the

electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the

refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control

(Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on

the model) to the desired setting.

Read all directions carefully before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

• If operating the refrigerator before installing the water

connection, turn ice maker to the OFF position to

prevent operation without water.

• All installations must be in accordance with local

plumbing code requirements.

• Use copper tubing and check for leaks.

• Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures

will remain above freezing.

• It may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to begin

producing ice.

Tools required:

• Standard screwdriver

• 7A_-inchand V_-inch open-end wrenches or two

adjustable wrenches

• V4-inch nut driver

• V4-inch drill bit

• Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a

_A-inch saddle-type shut-off valve, a union, and copper

tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve

complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a

piercing-type or _A_-inch saddle valve which reduces water

flow and clogs more easily.

Cold Water Supply

The ice maker water valve contains a flow washer which is

used as a water pressure regulator. The ice maker needs to

be connected to a cold water line with water pressure

between 30 and 120 psi. If a problem occurs, call your

utility company.

Connecting to water line:

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn OFF main water supply, Turn ON nearest faucet

long enough to clear line of water.

Find a V_-inch to 1V4-inch vertical COLD water pipe

near the refrigerator.

NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but the following

procedure must be followed: Drill on the top side of the

pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away

from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment from

collecting in the valve.

To determine the length of copper tubing you will need,

measure from connection on lower left rear of

refrigerator to water pipe. Add 7 feet (2.1 m) to allow for

moving refrigerator for cleaning. Use V4-inch O.D.

(outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of

copper tubing are cut square.

Using a grounded drill, drill a 1A-inch hole in the cold

water pipe you have selected.

Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe

clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the 1/4-inchdrilled

hole in the water pipe and that washer is under the pipe

clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp

screws carefully and evenly so washer makes a

watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush

the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper

tubing is used. Now you are ready to connect the

copper tubing.

Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on

copper tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet

end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut

onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not

overtighten.

Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink,

and turn ON main water supply and flush out tubing

until water is clear. Turn OFF shut-off valve on the water

pipe. Coil copper tubing.

Connecting to refrigerator:

NOTE: The first step for connecting the water line to your

refrigerator is different depending on the type of water

valve provided with your refrigerator. See the diagrams

below to determine the style of valve you have. (On kit

models, assemble water valve to refrigerator per kit

instructions.)

For Style 1, disconnect the tube clamp on the back of

the product and insert the copper tubing through the

clamp, as shown. Remove the tape label from the valve

inlet and insert copper tubing until it bottoms out

(approximately 3/4-inch). Tighten nut by hand as much

as possible; then turn the nut an additional 1/2turn using

a wrench. Do not overtighten. Re-attach the tube

clamp and tube to the back of the cabinet. Skip to

Step 2.

For Style 2, disconnect the tube clamp on the back of

the product and insert copper tubing through the

clamp as shown. Attach the copper tube to the valve

inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown.

Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. Re-

attach the tube clamp and tube to the back of the

cabinet. Move to Step 2.

2. Turn shut-off valve ON. Check For Leaks. Tighten

any connections (including connections at the

valve) or nuts that leak.

Your refrigerator has two front adJustable rollers - one on

the right and one on the leR. If your refrigerator seems

unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adJust the

refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below:

Roll out the refrigerator and use a level to check the

floor at the back from side-to-side. If needed, use

shims to level the back of the refrigerator if it is uneven.

Roll the refrigerator back into place with the rear rollers

on top of any shim(s) used so that the rear of the

refrigerator is level.

With the rear already level and the refrigerator in place,

use the bottom leveling screws to level the refrigerator

from side-to-side. They are part of the front roller

assemblies, which are found at the base of the

refrigerator on either side.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the

refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws

and rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.

Style 1

Style 2

Depending on your model, to level your refrigerator you

may either turn the screw clockwise to raise that side of

the refrigerator or turn the screw counterclockwise to

lower that side. Place a level on top of the refrigerator

to check adjustments.

If the doors do not close on their own, you will need to

raise the front of the refrigerator so it is slightly higher

than the back. To do this, turn both leveling screws

clockwise V2turn.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to turn both screws an equal

amount or the refrigerator will no longer be level side-

to-side.

Open doors and check if they close automatically. If

not, repeat steps 3 and 4.

Using a level, check to see if the refrigerator is still level

side-to-side. Readjust if necessary.

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one

didn't make. Because the sounds are new to you, you

might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds

are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls, and

cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they

actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds

and what may be making them.

• If your product is equipped with an ice maker, you will

hear a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill

the ice maker for each cycle.

The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost

cycle begins and ends. Also, the Thermostat Control

(or Refrigerator Control depending on the model), will

click when cycling on and off.

• Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant,

the water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.

Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to

keep your food items at the desired temperature. The

high efficiency compressor may cause your new

refrigerator to run longer than your old one, and you

may hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound.

• Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost

cycle may cause a sizzling sound.

• You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating the

air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

• As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound

due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.

• Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may

cause a popping noise.

• You may hear air being forced over the condenser by

the condenser fan.

• You may hear water running into the drain pan during

the defrost cycle.

USING YOUR

REFRIGERATOR

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit

air flow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As

shown in the illustration, cool air enters through the bottom

of the freezer section and moves up. Most of the air then

flows through the freezer section vents and recirculates

under the freezer floor. The rest of the air enters the

refrigerator section through the top vent.

For your convenience, the Temperature Control is

preset at the factory. The control for the refrigerator and

freezer is located in the top of the refrigerator section. It

controls the temperature in both the refrigerator and

freezer compartments.

When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that

the Temperature Control is still preset. The

Temperature Control should be at the "mid-setting" (3),

as shown in the illustration below.

NOTE: Turning the Temperature Control to OFF stops

cooling in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments,

but does not disconnect the refrigerator from the power

supply.

Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before

adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food

into the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has

cooled completely, your food may spoil. Turning the

Temperature Control to a higher (colder) than

recommended setting will not cool the compartments

any faster.

Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If

the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented and

temperature and moisture problems may occur.

IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both

sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to

the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to

eliminate odors. To prevent odor transfer and drying out of

food, wrap or cover foods tightly. (See the "Food Storage

Guide" section for details.)

_ ,_ #,7,% _ _ • _ _ _ , _ ,, _

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before

adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food

into the refrigerator. The "mid-setting" (3)indicated in the

previous section should be correct for normal household

refrigerator usage. The control is set correctly when milk or

juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

The Temperature Control functions as the thermostat for

the entire product (refrigerator and freezer sections). The

higher the number setting, the longer the compressor will

run to keep the temperature colder.

Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.

Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between

adjustments.

Storing FreshFood

Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and

moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This

prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the

refrigerator. For dated products, check code date to

ensure freshness.

Butter or margarine

Keep opened butter in covered dish or closed

compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap in

freezer packaging and freeze.

Cheese

Store in the original wrapping until you are ready to use

it. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or

aluminum foil.

Milk

Wipe milk cartons. For best storage, place milk on

interior shelf.

Eggs

Store in original carton on interior shelf.

Fruit

Wash, let dry, and store in refrigerator in plastic bags or

crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until they are ready

to use. Sort and keep berries in original container in a

crisper, or store in a loosely closed paper bag on a

refrigerator shelf.

Leafy vegetables

Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and

discolored areas. Wash in cold water and drain. Place in

plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper.

Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)

Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store in

crisper.

Fish

Use fresh fish and shellfish the same day as purchased.

Meat

Store most meat in original wrapping as long as it is

airtight and moisture-proof. Rewrap if necessary. See

the following chart for storage times. When storing meat

longer than the times given, freeze the meat.

Chicken ........................................................... 1-2 days

Ground beef .................................................... 1-2 days

Variety meats (liver, heart, etc.) ........................ 1-2 days

Cold cuts ......................................................... 3-5 days

Steaks/roasts .................................................. 3-5 days

Cured meats .................................................. 7-10 days

Leftovers

Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Plastic containers with tight lids can also be used.

Storing Frozen Food

NOTE: For further information about preparing food for

freezing or food storage times, check a freezer guide or

reliable cookbook.

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on the correct packaging.

When you close and seal the package you must not allow

air or moisture in or out. If you do, you could have food

odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator, and

also dry out frozen food.

Packaging recommendations:

• Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids

• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars

• Heavy-duty aluminum foil

• Plastic-coated paper

• Non-permeable plastic wraps (made from saran

film)

• Specified freezer self-sealing plastic bags

Follow package or container instructions for proper

freezing methods.

Do not use:

Bread wrappers

Non-polyethylene plastic containers

Containers without tight lids

Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap

Thin, semi-permeable wrap

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze any large quantity of

food. Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will

freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 Ibs of food per

cubic foot [907-1,350 g per liter] of freezer space). Leave

enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around

packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so

the door can close tightly.

Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of

food, the type of packaging or wrap used (airtight and

moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. Ice crystals

inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means

that moisture in the food and air inside the package have

condensed, creating ice crystals.

NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30

minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods

before freezing saves energy.

clockwise to raise or counter-clockwise to lower.

After the freezer section reaches normal freezer

temperature, the ice maker fills with water and begins

forming ice. Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of

ice. Ice maker should then produce approximately 7 to 9

batches of ice in a 24-hour period. Discard the first three

batches of ice produced to avoid impurities that may be

flushed out of the system.

After ice is made, the ice cubes drop into the storage bin.

When ice storage bin is full, ice maker arm raises to the

"OFF" position (arm up). If ice is not needed, you can stop

the ice maker by raising the arm to the "OFF" position (arm

up). Listen for a click sound to be sure that the ice maker

will not continue to operate.

To start ice maker, lower arm to the "ON" position (arm

down). Do not force arm up or down. Do not store anything

on top of the ice maker or in the ice storage bin.

The ON/OFF lever for the ice maker is a wire signal arm

located on the side of the ice maker. Push the arm

down to start making ice automatically, and push it up

to shut off the ice maker.

• It is normal for the ice cubes to be attached at the

corners. They will break apart easily.

• The ice maker will not operate until the freezer is cold

enough to make ice. This can take as long as

overnight.

If you remove the ice bin, raise the signal arm to shut

off the ice maker. When you replace the bin, push it in

all the way and lower the ice maker signal arm to the

"ON" position.

REMEMBER:

• The quality of your ice will be only as good as the

quality of the water supplied to your ice maker.

Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water

supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can

damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality

ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided,

make sure the water softener is operating properly and

is well maintained.

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,

or fire.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost

automatically. However, clean both sections about once a

month to prevent odors from building up. Wipe up spills

immediately.

Energy Saving Tip:

Clean the condenser coils regularly, as described in the

cleaning chart in this section.

To clean your refrigerator:

• Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power,

• Remove all removable parts from inside, such as

shelves, crispers, etc.

• Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent

in warm water, Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.

• Hand wash, rinse, and dry all surfaces thoroughly.

• Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power,

• Additional cleaning tips are listed below:

PART COMMENTS

Outside • Waxing external painted metal

surfaces helps provide rust

protection. Do not wax plastic

parts. Wax painted metal surfaces

at least twice a year using

appliance wax (or auto paste

wax). Apply wax with a clean, soft

cloth.

Inside walls

(allow freezer

to warm up so

cloth won't

stick)

To help remove odors, you can

wash with a mixture of warm

water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1

qt [26 g to .95 L] of water).

Door liners

and gaskets

Do not use cleaning waxes,

concentrated detergents,

bleaches, or cleaners containing

petroleum on plastic parts.

Plastic parts

(covers and

panels)

Do not use paper towels, window

sprays, scouring cleansers or

flammable fluids. These can

scratch or damage material.

Condenser

coils

• Roll refrigerator out away from the

wall.

Vacuum coils when dusty or dirty.

Coils may need to be cleaned as

often as every other month.

Roll refrigerator back into place.

Make sure to leave 1 inch (2.5 cm)

between the cabinet back and the

wall.

• Check to see if the refrigerator is

level.

....

NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be

sure to replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape,

and wattage.

To change the refrigerator light:

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power,

2. Reach behind the Control Panel and unscrew the bulb.

3. Replace the bulb with a 40-watt appliance bulb.

4. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power,

If the electricity in your house goes off, call the power

company and ask how long it will be off.

1. If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep both

refrigerator doors closed to help foods stay cold and

frozen.

2. If the power will be out for more than 24 hours:

a) Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food

locker.

b) Place 2 Ibs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every

cubic foot (28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the

food frozen for two to four days. While handling dry

ice, wear gloves to protect your hands from ice

burns.

c) If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available,

consume or can perishable food at once.

REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a

partially filled one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer

than a freezer full of baked goods. If you see that food

contains ice crystals, it may be safely refrozen, although

the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of

the food is poor, or if you feel it is unsafe, dispose of it.

Vacations

If you choose to leave the refrigerator on while you're

away, use these steps to prepare your refrigerator before

you leave.

1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.

2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

• Raise ice maker arm to OFF (up) position.

• Shut off water supply to the ice maker,

3. Empty the ice bin.

If you choose to turn the refrigerator off before you

leave, follow these steps.

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator,

2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

• Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least

one day ahead of time.

• When the last load of ice drops, raise the ice maker

arm to the "OFF" (up) position.

3. Depending on your model, turn the Thermostat Control

(or Refrigerator Control, depending on the model) to

"OFF". See the "Setting the Control" section.

4. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.

5. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors

to prop them open far enough for air to get in. This

stops odor and mold from building up.

Moving

When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home,

follow these steps to prepare it for the move.

1. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

• Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least

one day ahead of time.

• Disconnect the water line from the back of the

refrigerator.

• When the last load of ice drops, raise the ice maker

arm to the "OFF" (up) position.

2. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all

frozen food in dry ice.

3. Depending on your model, turn the Thermostat Control

(or Refrigerator Control, depending on the model) to

"OFF". See the "Setting the Control" section.

4. Unplug the refrigerator.

5. Empty water from the defrost pan.

6. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.

7. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape

them together so they don't shift and rattle during the

move.

Depending on the model, raise the front of the

refrigerator so it rolls more easily OR screw in the

leveling legs so they don't scrape the floor. See the

"Door Closing and Alignment" section.

Tape the doors shut and the power cord to the

refrigerator cabinet.

When you get to your new home, put everything back

and refer to the "Installing Your Refrigerator" section for

preparation instructions. Also, if your refrigerator has an

automatic ice maker, remember to reconnect the water

supply to the refrigerator,

TROUBLESHOOTING

Try the solutions suggested here first in order to

avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.

Your refrigerator will not operate

Is the power supply cord unplugged?

Firmly plug the cord into a live outlet with proper

voltage.

Has a household fuse or circuit breaker tripped?

Replace the fuse or reset the circuit.

Is the Refrigerator Control turned to the "OFF"

position?

Refer to the "Setting the Control" section.

Is the refrigerator defrosting?

Recheck to see if the refrigerator is operating in 30

minutes. Your refrigerator will regularly run an

automatic defrost cycle.

The lights do not work

Is the power supply cord unplugged?

Firmly plug the cord into a live outlet with proper

voltage.

Is a light bulb loose in the socket?

Turn the refrigerator control to "OFF". Disconnect the

refrigerator from the electrical supply. Gently remove

the bulb and reinsert. Then reconnect the refrigerator to

the electrical supply and reset the refrigerator control.

Has a light bulb burned out?

Replace with an appliance bulb of the same wattage,

size, and shape. See the "Changing the Light Bulb"

section.

There is water in the defrost drain pan

Is the refrigerator defrosting?

The water will evaporate. It is normal for water to drip

into the defrost pan.

Is it more humid than normal?

Expect that the water in the defrost pan will take longer

to evaporate. This is normal when it is hot or humid.

The motor seems to run too much

Is the room temperature hotter than normal?

Expect the motor to run longer under warm conditions.

At normal room temperatures, expect your motor to run

about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer

conditions, expect it to run even more of the time.

Has a large amount of food just been added to the

refrigerator?

Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. It

is normal for the motor to run longer in order to cool the

refrigerator back down. See the "Food Storage Guide"

section.

Are the doors opened often?

Expect the motor to run longer when this occurs. In

order to conserve energy, try to get everything you

need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food

organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as

soon as the food is removed.

Is the control set correctly for the surrounding

conditions?

Refer to the "Setting the Control" section.

Are the doors closed completely?

Push the doors firmly shut. If they will not shut all the

way, see "The doors will not close completely" later in

this section.

Are the condenser coils dirty?

This prevents air transfer and makes the motor work

harder. Clean the condenser coils. Refer to the

"Cleaning Your Refrigerator" section.

NOTE: Your new refrigerator will run longer than your old

one due to its high efficiency motor.

The refrigerator seems to make too much

noise

• The sounds may be normal for your refrigerators.

Refer to the "Understanding Sounds You May Hear"

section.

The ice maker is not producing ice

Is the freezer temperature cold enough to produce

ice?

Wait 24 hours after hook-up for ice production. See the

"Setting the Control" section.

Is the ice maker arm in the "OFF" (arm up) position?

Lower arm to the "ON" (arm down) position. See the

"Ice Maker Operation" section.

Is the water line shut-off valve to the refrigerator

turned on?

Turn on the water valve. See the "Connecting the

Refrigerator to a Water Source" section.

Is an ice cube jammed in the ejector arm?

Remove the ice from the ejector arm with a plastic

utensil. Refer to the "Ice Maker Operation" section.

Does the ice maker mold have water in it or has no

ice been produced?

Check to see if your refrigerator has been connected to

your home water supply and the supply shut-off valve

is turned on. Refer to the "Connecting the Refrigerator

to a Water Source" section.

NOTE: If not due to any of the above, there may be a

problem with the water line. Call for service.

The ice maker is producing too little ice

Has the ice makerjust been installed?

Wait 72 hours for full ice production to begin. Once

your refrigerator is cooled down, the ice maker should

begin producing 70-120 cubes every 24 hours.

Has a large amount of ice just been removed?

Allow 24 hours for ice maker to produce more ice.

is the control set correctly?

Refer to the "Setting the Control" section.

Is the water shut-off valve turned completely on?

Turn valve on fully. Refer to the "Connecting the

Refrigerator to a Water Source" section.

Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator?

This filter may be clogged or installed incorrectly.

First, check the filter installation instructions to ensure

that the filter was installed correctly and is not clogged.

If installation or clogging is not a problem, call a

qualified person or a technician.

Off-taste or odor in the ice

• Are the plumbing connections new, causing

discolored or off-flavored ice?

Discard the first few batches of ice.

• Have the ice cubes been stored for too long?

Throw old ice away and make a new supply.

• Has food in the refrigerator been wrapped properly?

Refer to the "Food Storage Guide" section.

• Do the freezer and ice bin need to be cleaned?

See the "Cleaning Your Refrigerator" section.

• Does the water contain minerals (such as sulfur)?

A filter may need to be installed to remove the minerals.

The divider between the two compartments is

warm

The warmth is probably due to normal operation of the

automatic exterior moisture control.

Temperature is too warm

Are the air vents blocked in either compartment?

This prevents the movement of cold air from the

freezer to the refrigerator.

Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. Refer

to "Ensuring Proper Air Circulation" for the location of

air vents.

Are the door(s) opened often?

Be aware that the refrigerator will warm when this

occurs. In order to keep the refrigerator cool, try to get

everything you need out of the refrigerator at once,

keep food organized so it is easy to find, and close the

door as soon as the food is removed.

Has a large amount of food just been added to the

refrigerator or freezer?

Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator, It

can take several hours for the refrigerator to return to

the normal temperature.

msthe control set correctly for the surrounding

conditions?

Refer to the "Setting the Control" section.

There is interior moisture build-up

Are the air vents blocked in the refrigerator?

Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. Refer

to "Ensuring Proper Air Circulation" for the location of

air vents.

Is the door opened often?

To avoid humidity build-up, try to get everything you

need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food

organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as

soon as the food is removed. (When the door is

opened, humidity from the room air enters the

refrigerator. The more often the door is opened, the

faster humidity builds up, especially when the room

itself is very humid.)
