Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

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

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Removing packaging materials

IMPORTANT: 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.

Remove tape and any temporary labels from your refrigerator before using. Do not remove any warning type labels, the model and serial number label, or the Tech Sheet that is fastened behind the base grille.

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 "Important Safety Instructions" in the "Refrigerator Safety"

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

other feature parts may be packaged in the Interior

FeaturePak. Follow the instructions contained in the package for proper assembly.

Depending on your model, to remove the protective (transparent) film that is on the nameplate, which is located on the freezer handle, use your fingernail and peel off the film, starting from one side and peeling to

the other.

• To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a .5" (1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top.

,I, I ,IF

- II -- I

2 w8"(5.4era)/

If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you leave some extra space at the back for the water line connections, The refrigerator can be flush against the back wall if you do not have an ice maker installed,

• If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2" (5.08 cm) minimum on each side (depending

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

NOTE: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source, nor in a location where the

temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refriger- ator for cleaning or service, be sure to protect

the floor. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it.

Do not wiggle or "walk" the refrigerator when trying to

move it, as floor damage could occur.

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.

Read all directions carefully before you begin. IMPORTANT:

• If operating the refrigerator before installingthe 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

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.

• 7A6-inchand 1/_-inchopen-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

• 1/4-inch nut driver

• 1/4-inch drill bit

• Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4-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 sA6-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.

Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.

Find a 1/2-inchto 11/4-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 1/4-inchO.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

Using a grounded drill, drill a 1/4-inch hole in the cold

water pipe you have selected.

6. Shut-Off Valve

7. Packing Nut

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:

Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure the tubing to the refrigerator as shown. This will help prevent damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back against the wall.

Turn shut-off valve ON. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including connections at the valve) or

nuts that leak.

The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If local water conditions require periodic cleaning or a well is your source of water supply, a second water

strainer should be installed in the 1/4-inch water line. Obtain a water strainer from your nearest appliance

dealer. Install at either tube connection.

4, Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

To remove the base grille:

1. Open the refrigerator door.

2. Grasp the grille with both hands.

3. Lift up and tilt the bottom of the grille toward you. NOTE: Do not remove the Tech Sheet that is fastened

behind the grille. To replace the base grille:

Door Closing

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:

1, Plug refrigerator power cord into a 3 prong grounded

outlet. Move the refrigerator into its final position.

Remove the base grille (see "Base Grille" earlier in this

section). The two leveling screws are part of the front roller assemblies which are at the base of the

refrigerator on either side.

Use a screwdriver to adjust the leveling screws. Turn

the leveling screw to the right to raise that side of the refrigerator or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower that side. It may take several turns of the leveling screws to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

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.

Open both doors again and check to make sure that they close as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling screws to the right. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling screws the

same amount.

5, Replace the base grille.

Door Alignment

If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it using the instructions below:

1, Pry off the top hinge cover. 2, Loosen the top hinge screws using a sA6-inch socket or

wrench.

3, Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer

between the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.

4, Replace the top hinge cover.

I' ..... , = _¢.y IIIIQI

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

. C [culaton

Style 1

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.

Style 2

NOTE: To turn your refrigerator off, turn the Refrigerator Control until the word OFF appears, as shown below, Your refrigerator will not cool when the Refrigerator Control is

set to OFF Style 1

E FRIGERATO RVARMER_

Style 2

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,)

For your convenience, the refrigerator controls are preset at the factory. Controls for the refrigerator and

freezer are located in the top of the refrigerator section.

When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the controls are still preset. The Refrigerator Control

and the Freezer Control should both be at the "mid- settings" as shown. The "mid-setting" for Style 1 is "4"

and the "mid-setting" for Style 2 is "3".

k _ O REFRIGERATOR

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

Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

The Freezer Control functions as an airflow director. Setting "1" will direct more of the cold air into the

refrigerator section, while setting "5" (or "7" depending on your model) will direct more of the cold air into the freezer section. The cold air flows from the freezer compartment through the top vent into your fresh food section (see diagram in the "Ensuring Proper Air Circulation" section).

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-settings" indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

The Refrigerator 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. The Freezer Control adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator first. Wait 24 hours after the refrigerator adjustment to check the freezer temperature. If it is too warm or too cold, then adjust the

Freezer Control as well.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

To remove a shelf from the metal frame:

REFRIGERATOR

FEATURES

The shelves in your refrigerator are adJustable to meet your individual storage needs. Your model may have glass or

wire shelves.

Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and save energy.

IMPORTANT: Do not clean glass shelves with warm water when they are cold. Shelves may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.

For your protection tempered glass is designed to shatter

into many small pebble-size pieces. This is normal. NOTE: Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care when

removing them to avoid impact from dropping. To remove shelves from the shipping position (shelves

are shipped upside down):

Grasp front of upper shelf with one hand and use other hand to remove packing material from shelf area.

Lower front of upper shelf until shelf hooks can be removed from slots in shelf supports on the back refrigerator wall. Pull shelf forward to remove.

Flip shelf over.

Insert rear shelf hooks into slots in shelf supports.

Tilt front of shelf up until rear hooks drop into slots.

Lower front of shelf. Check to make sure that shelf is securely in position.

Slide-out Shelves (on some models)

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.

The ON/OFF lever for the ice maker is a wire shut-off arm located on the side of the ice maker, Push the wire shut-off

arm down to start making ice automatically, and push it up to shut off the ice maker

After ice is made, the ice cubes drop into the storage bin. When ice storage bin is full, the wire shut-off arm raises to the OFF position (arm up). If ice is not needed, you can stop the ice maker by raising the wire shut-off 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 the wire shut-off arm to the ON position (arm down). Do not force the arm up or down. Do

not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice storage bin.

To replace the shelf: 1, Tilt the shelf and insert into freezer compartment. 2, Insert one end of the shelf all the way into the center of

the shelf supports.

3, Lower other end of shelf and insert into the shelf

supports.

4, Lower shelf into place.

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 ice is not being made fast enough and more ice is needed, turn the Freezer Control toward a higher (colder) number in half number steps. (For example, if the control is at 3, move it to between 3 and 4.) Wait 24 hours and, if necessary, gradually turn the Freezer Control to the highest setting, waiting 24 hours

between each increase.

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.

NOTE: The shelf should lower slightly and lock into place. If the shelf does not appear stable, make sure both ends of the shelf are inserted into the shelf supports.

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. A coil cleaning brush is available for purchase. Call 1-800-366-PART and ask for

Part Number 4210463. 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.

PART COMMENTS Outside •

Inside walls (allow freezer

to warm up so cloth won't

stick)

Door liners and gaskets

Plastic parts

(covers and panels)

Condenser coils

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.

For products with a stainless steel exterior, use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in

warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly

with a soft cloth. 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).

Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic parts.

Do not use paper towels, window sprays, scouring cleansers or

flammable fluids. These can scratch or damage material.

• Remove base grille. (See the "Base grille" section.)

• Use avacuum with an extended attachment to clean condenser

coils.

• Vacuum coils when dusty or dirty. Coils may need to be cleaned as often as every other month,

• Replace base grille.

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 an appliance bulb of the same

wattage.

.... _® '....

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.

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 wire shut-off 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 wire shut- off 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.

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.

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.

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 wire shut- off 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 Controls" 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" 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 Controls" 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(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

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 maker just 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 Controls" 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.

• The sounds may be normal for your refrigerator. 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 Controls" section.

Is the wire shut-off arm in the OFF (arm up) position?

Lower wire shut-off arm to the ON (arm down) position.

See the "Ice Maker Operation" section.

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.

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.

Are the crisper cover, pans, shelves, bins, or baskets out of position?

Put the crisper cover and all pans, shelves, bins, and

baskets back into their correct positions. See the "Refrigerator Features" section for more information.

Are the gaskets sticking? Clean gaskets and the surface that they touch. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the gaskets following cleaning.

Does the refrigerator wobble or seem unstable?

Level the refrigerator. Refer to the "Door Closing and

Alignment" section. Were the doors removed during product installation

and not properly replaced?

Remove and replace the doors according to the

"Refrigerator Doors: Removing, Reversing (optional) and Replacing" section, or call a qualified service

technician.

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.
