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.

INSTALLINGYOUR
REFRIGERATOR
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.
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.
II I
JI I
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" (5.08 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
7Ae-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 sA_-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.
Connectingto 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.
3. Find a 1/2-inchto 11/4-inchvertical 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 1/4-inchO.D.
(outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of
copper tubing are cut square.
5. Using a grounded drill, drill a 1/4-inchhole in the cold
water pipe you have selected.

8.
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.)
1.
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 C\v-inch). Tighten nut by hand as much
as possible; then turn the nut an additional Z\x turn
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 left. 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.
5,
6.
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 1/2turn.
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.
10
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 corn partments,
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.)

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 Fresh Food
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.
12
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.

some modo ¢,
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.

CARING FORYOUR
REFRIGERATOR
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,
16
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.
OR
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.
OR
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
OFE See the "Setting the Controls" section.
4. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.

Has a light bulb burned out?
Replace with an appliance bulb of the same wattage,
size, and shape. See the "Changing the Light Bulb(s)"
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 Controls" 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.

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.
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions?
Refer to the "Setting the Controls" 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.)
Is the room humid?
It is normal for moisture to build up inside the
refrigerator when the room air is humid.
Is the food packaged correctly?
Check that all food is securely wrapped. If necessary,
repackage food according to the guidelines in the
"Food Storage Guide" section. Wipe off damp food
containers before placing in the refrigerator,
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions?
Refer to the "Setting the Control" section.
Was a self-defrost cycle completed?
It is normal for droplets to form on the back wall after
the refrigerator self-defrosts.
The doors are difficult to open
Are the gaskets dirty or sticky?
Clean gaskets and the surface that they touch. Rub a
thin coat of paraffin wax on the gaskets following
cleaning.
The doors will not close completely
Are food packages blocking the door open?
Rearrange containers so that they fit more tightly and
take up less space.
Is the ice bin out of position?
Push the ice bin in all the way.
