Proper Disposal of

Your Old Refrigerator

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.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

• Takeoff the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

important information to know about disposal of refrigerants:

Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed,

EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with established procedures.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

}}ac e Ref '

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

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

Remove packaging materials. 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."

When Moving Your Refrigerator: Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for

cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. 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.

important information to know about glass shelves

and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

it stops. See Graphic 2A. Water Connection Style 2: Push the black water tube

with the blue tip into the blue fitting until it stops. Close the clasp around the tubing, making sure it snaps into place. Repeat this process to connect the red-tipped black water tube and the red fitting. See Graphic 2B.

Reinstall the P-clamp around the small wiring bundle (with one yellow plug), then replace the P-clamp on the top screw hole of the routing plate. See Graphic 3.

Gently route the large wiring bundle (with two white plugs) through the hole in the routing plate, so that the wiring runs behind the right side of the routing plate. See

Graphic 3.

NOTE: The large wiring bundle should always remain below the small wiring bundle.

Reconnect the wiring plugs to the electrical housing, then

push the housing back under the refrigerator. Align the left hole in the front lip of the housing with the right hole in the refrigerator's base crossbar. See Graphic 3.

Reinstall the wiring clip over the grommets. First install the smaller grommet into the top of the clip, then install the larger grommet into the bottom of the clip (closest to the screw hole). See Graphic 3.

Align the clip's screw hole with the left hole in the electrical housing and the right hole in the crossbar, and screw in the clip using a single screw. Tighten screw. See

Graphic 3.

IMPORTANT: Once connected, the wiring bundles should not be taut. Some flexibility is needed to allow the freezer door to open properly.

On models with the ice storage bin inside the freezer:

• Water Connection Style 1: Push the water tube into the fitting until it stops. See Graphic 2A.

Water Connection Style 2: Push the water tube into the fitting until it stops. Close the clasp around the tubing, making sure it snaps into place. See Graphic 2B.

electrical housing and the right hole in the crossbar, and screw in the clip using a single screw. Tighten screw. See

Graphic 3.

IMPORTANT: Once connected, the wiring should not be taut. Some flexibility is needed to allow the freezer door to open properly.

5. Replace the refrigerator door by lifting the door onto the bottom right hinge.

6. Align and replace the top right hinge as shown. See Graphic 6. Tighten screws.

7. Replace the ice storage bin (on some models) and any adjustable door or utility bins.

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.

8. Plug refrigerator into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Leveling and Door Closing

Your refrigerator has two adjustable front feet -- one on the right and one on the left. In most cases, the refrigerator should be steady when both feet are touching the floor. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or if you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below:

1. Move the refrigerator into its final location. If necessary, open both doors to 90° and remove the base grille. See Graphic 1.

2. The two leveling feet are located on the brackets on each side of the product. See Graphic 8.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling feet. This makes it easier to make adjustments.

3. Use a 1/4"open-ended or adjustable wrench to adjust the leveling feet. Turn the leveling foot to the left to raise that side of the product, or turn it to the right to lower that side of the product.

NOTE: Both leveling feet should be snug against the floor, and the rollers should not touch the floor. This keeps the refrigerator from rolling forward when opening the doors.

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

amount.

5. Use a bubble level to check the leveling of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Whenever you need to move the refrigerator, turn the leveling feet to the right until they are no longer touching the ground. This will allow the refrigerator to roll more easily.

Door Alignment

A refrigerator that is not level from side-to-side may appear to have doors that are not properly aligned. If the doors appear this

way, use the instructions in the previous section to check the leveling.

The doors are designed to be slightly different heights when the refrigerator is empty, in order to account for the weight of food

that will be placed on the doors. If the doors are still not aligned after checking the leveling and loading the refrigerator with food,

follow the steps below to adjust the door alignment.

1. If necessary, open both doors to 90° and remove the base grille. See Graphic 1.

2. Locate the alignment screw on the bottom hinge of the refrigerator door. See Graphic 9.

3. Use a 5A6"open-ended or adjustable wrench to turn the screw. To raise the refrigerator door, turn the screw to the

right. To lower the door, turn the screw to the left.

4. Check that the doors are even at the top. If necessary, continue to turn the alignment screw until the doors are

aligned.

5. Open both doors to 90 °. Replace the base grille. See

Graphic 1.

PARTS INCLUDED: Door handles (2}, 1/8"hex key, spare

setscrew(s)

To Install the Handles: NOTE: The handle mounting setscrews are preinstalled in the

handle.

1. Remove the handles, which are packed inside the refrigerator. NOTE: To avoid scratching the finish, place the handles on a

towel or other soft surface.

Open the freezer door. On the refrigerator door, place the handle on the shoulder screws with the setscrews facing the

freezer.

A. Shoulder screws

B. Setscrews inside the handle

Firmly push the handle toward the door until the handle base is flush against the door.

While holding the handle, insert the short end of the hex key into the upper hole and slightly rotate the hex key until it is engaged in the setscrew.

5. Using a clockwise motion, tighten the setscrew until it begins to contact the shoulder screw.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to begin fastening the lower setscrew.

7. Once both setscrews have been partially tightened as outlined in the previous steps, fully tighten both the upper

and lower setscrews. IMPORTANT: When the screws feel tight, tighten them an

additional quarter-turn. The handle is not properly installed without this extra tightening.

8. Open the refrigerator door and close the freezer door. Repeat steps 2 through 7 to install the other handle onto the freezer door with the setscrews facing the refrigerator.

9. Save the hex key and all instructions.

To Remove the Handles:

1. While holding the handle, insert the short end of the hex key into the lower setscrew hole and slightly rotate the hex key until it is engaged in the setscrew.

2. Using a counterclockwise motion, loosen the setscrew a quarter-turn at a time.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the upper setscrew. Gently pull the handle away from the door.

4. If necessary, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the shoulder screws from the door.

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.

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as

gasoline, away from refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor household use only.

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for 1/d' (1.27 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for 1" (2.54 cm) of space behind the refrigerator. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave a 2" (5.08 cm) minimum space on each side (depending on your model) to allow the doors to swing open.

t/2" (1.27

2" (5.08 crn)/

NOTES:

This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature range for optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F (32°C). It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.

Normal minimum cabinet cut-out width required for product installation is 36" (91.44 cm). However, if the product is placed against an extended wall and the ability to remove the crisper pans is desired, an additional 18" (45.72 cm) of cabinet width is required, so a total cabinet opening width of 54" (137.16 cm) is recommended.

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-amp 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 or cleaning, or

removing a light bulb, turn cooling off or 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 turn cooling on or reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to the desired setting. See "Using the Controls" in the User Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care

Guide.

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed

here. TOOLS NEEDED:

• Flat-blade screwdriver • 1/4"nut driver

• 7/le"and 1/_,,open-end or • 1/4"drill bit two adjustable wrenches

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4" (6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff 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 3/le"

(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

IMPO RTANT:

• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

• Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.

• Cordless drill

Water Pressure

Connect to Water Line

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

• If your refrigerator has a water dispenser: After installation is complete, use the water dispenser to check the water

pressure.

• With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of

water. If 1 cup of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less, the water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum requirement.

• If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup of

water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than recommended. See "Problem Solver" for suggestions.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a

reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.

• If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See "Water Filtration System" in the User Instructions, User Guide, or

Use & Care Guide.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker OFF.

Style 1 (Recommended)

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

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

3. Use a quarter-turn shutoff valve or the equivalent, served by a 1/2"copper household supply line.

NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the refrigerator, a minimum 1/2"size copper household supply line is

recommended.

shutoff valve. Use 1/4"(6.35 mm) OD soft copper tubing to connect the shutoff valve and the refrigerator.

• Ensure that you have the proper length needed for the

job. Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut square.

Slip compression sleeve and compression nut onto 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.

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

• Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and

ordinances. The gray water tubing on the back of the refrigerator (which is

used to connect to the household water line) is a PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) tube. Copper and PEX tubing connections from the household water line to the refrigerator are acceptable, and will help avoid off-taste or odor in your

ice or water. Check for leaks. If PEX tubing is used instead of copper, we recommend the

following Whirlpool Part Numbers: W10505928RP (7 ft [2.14 m] jacketed PEX), 8212547RP (5 ft [1.52 m] PEX), or W10267701 RP (25 ft [7.62 m] PEX).

• Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.

TOOLS NEEDED:

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

• Flat-blade screwdriver

• 7/16"and 1/2"open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

• 1/4"nut driver

A. Compression sleeve

B. Compression nut

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

C. Copper tubing

turn on main water supply to flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn off shutoff valve on the water pipe.

NOTE: Always drain the water line before making the final connection to the inlet of the water valve, to avoid possible

water valve malfunction.

Bend the copper tubing to meet the water line inlet, which is located on the back of the refrigerator cabinet as shown. Leave a coil of copper tubing to allow the refrigerator to be pulled out of the cabinet or away from the wall for service.

Style 2

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

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

3. Locate a 1/2"(1.27 cm) to 11/4" (3.18 cm) vertical cold water pipe near the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

• Make sure it is a cold water pipe.

• Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the

pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from the connection on the lower rear corner of refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1/4" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4"(6.35 mm) hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

G. Packing nut

6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4"(6.35 mm) drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten, or you may crush the copper tubing.

7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw the compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and turn ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing.

Flush the Water System

The Ice Dispenser

Air in the water dispensing system can cause the water dispenser to drip. After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Flushing the water dispensing system forces air from the water line and filter, and prepares the water filter for use.

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

1. Using a sturdy container, depress and hold the water dispenser pad for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds.

2. Repeat Step 1 until water begins to flow.

3. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed.

Additional flushing may be required in some households.

The Water Dispenser

IMPORTANT:

• Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

• If the flow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be caused by low water pressure.

With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of water. If 1 cup of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less,

the water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum requirement.

If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup of water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than

recommended. See "Water Supply Requirements" or "Problem Solver" for suggestions.

Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when the dispenser pad is pressed. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice Maker and Storage Bin."

Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by pressing

the DISPENSE TYPE arrows. The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected.

CRUSHED CUBED

For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size. When changing from crushed to cubed, afew ounces of crushed ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

To Dispense Ice:

1. Make sure the desired type of ice is selected. To switch between cubed and crushed, press the DISPENSE TYPE

arrows.

To Dispense Water:

1. Press the DISPENSE TYPE arrows on the dispenser control panel, until "Water" is selected.

2. To dispense water, press a sturdy glass against the dispenser pad OR press the WATER button. Hold the glass close to the water dispenser spout to ensure that the water dispenses into the glass.

appears that your dispenser lights are not working, see "Problem Solver" for more information.

The Dispenser Lock

The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.

NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the refrigerator, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply

deactivates the controls and dispenser pad. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice Maker and Storage Bin."

• Press and hold LIGHT for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser. "Dispenser Locked" will appear on the display screen.

• Press and hold LIGHT a second time to unlock the dispenser.

• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

• 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.

• Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser mechanism.

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

Style I

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off:

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 avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.

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 avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

To Clean Your Refrigerator: NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window

sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.

3. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.

There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal home operating environments. If the environment is particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to 3 months to ensure maximum efficiency.

If you need to clean the condenser:

Vacations

If You Choose to Leave Refrigerator On While You Are Away:

1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.

2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker and is connected to the household water supply, turn off the water supply to the refrigerator. Property damage can occur if the water supply is not turned off.

3. If you have an automatic ice maker, turn off the ice maker. NOTE: Depending on your model, raise the wire shutoff arm

to OFF (up) position or press the switch to OFF (right).

4. Empty the ice bin.

If You Choose to Turn Refrigerator Off Before You Leave:

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 shutoff arm

to the OFF (up) position or move the switch to the OFF (right) setting.

3. Depending on the model, turn the Refrigerator Control to OFF or turn cooling off. See "Using the Controls" in the User Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care Guide.

4. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.

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 wire shutoff arm to the OFF (up) position or move the switch to the OFF (right) setting.

2. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen food in dry ice.

3. Empty the ice bin.

4. Depending on the model, turn the Refrigerator Control to OFF or turn cooling off. See "Using the Controls" in the User Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care Guide.

5. Unplug refrigerator.

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.

8. 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 "Adjust the Doors" or "Door Removal, Leveling and Alignment."

9. Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the back of the refrigerator.

When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to the Installation Instructions for preparation instructions. Also, if your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, remember to reconnect the water supply to the refrigerator.

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.

GENERAL OPERATION Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions Refrigerator will not operate

Motor seems to run too much

Refrigerator seems noisy The compressor in your new refrigerator regulates temperature more efficiently and uses less energy

• Not connected to an electrical supply - Plug the power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not use an extension cord.

• No power to the electrical outlet - Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is working.

• Household fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped - Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, contact a licensed electrician.

• Control or cooling is not turned on - Turn on the refrigerator control, or turn cooling on. See "Using the Controls."

• New installation - Following installation, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator and freezer to cool completely.

NOTE: Adjusting the temperature control(s) to the coldest setting will not cool either compartment (refrigerator or freezer) more quickly.

Your new refrigerator has an energy-efficient motor - The refrigerator may run longer than you're used to, because the compressor and fans operate at lower speeds that are more

energy-efficient. This is normal. NOTE: Your refrigerator may run even longer if the room is warm, a large load of food is added,

the doors are opened often, or if a door has been left open.

than older models. During various stages of operation, you may hear normal operating sounds that

are unfamiliar.

The following noises are normal:

• Buzzing/Clicking - Heard when the water valve opens and closes to dispense water or fill the ice maker. If the refrigerator is connected to a water line, this is normal. If the refrigerator is not

connected to a water line, turn off the ice maker.

• Cracking/Crashing - Heard when ice is ejected from the ice maker mold.

• Popping - Heard when the inside walls contract/expand, especially during initial cooldown.

• Pulsating/Whirring - Heard when the fans/compressor adjust to optimize performance during normal operation.

• Rattling - Heard when water passes through the water line, or due to the flow of refrigerant. Rattling may also come from items placed on top of the refrigerator.

• Water running or gurgling - Heard when ice melts during the defrost cycle and water runs into the drain pan.

• Sizzling - Heard when water drips onto the heater during the defrost cycle.

GENERAL OPERATION Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions

completely. NOTE: Adjusting the temperature control(s) to the coldest setting will not cool either

compartment (refrigerator or freezer) more quickly.

• Doors are opened often or not closed completely - This allows warm air to enter the refrigerator. Minimize door openings, keep the doors fully closed, and make sure both doors are properly sealed.

• Air vents are blocked - Remove items that are immediately in front of the vents.

• Large amount of warm food recently added - Allow several hours for the refrigerator to return to its normal temperature.

• Controls are not set correctly for the surrounding conditions - Adjust the controls to a colder setting. Check the temperature again in 24 hours.

Temperature is too cold

Interior moisture buildup

Interior lights do not work

• Controls are not set correctly for the surrounding conditions - Adjust the controls to a warmer setting. Check the temperature again in 24 hours.

• Top refrigerator shelf is colder than lower shelves - On some models, air from the freezer enters the refrigerator compartment through vents near the top refrigerator shelf. As a result, the top shelf can be slightly colder than lower shelves.

• Air vents are blocked - Remove items that are immediately in front of the vents.

NOTE: Some moisture buildup is normal. Clean with a soft dry cloth.

• Room is humid - A humid environment contributes to moisture buildup. Use the refrigerator only in an indoor location, with as little humidity as possible.

• Doors are opened often or not closed completely - This allows humid air to enter the refrigerator. Minimize door openings, keep the doors fully closed, and make sure both doors are properly sealed.

• Doors have been open for an extended period of time - Close the doors to reset the lights.

• Light bulb is loose in the socket or has burned out - On models with incandescent interior or full-size LED interior light bulbs, tighten or replace the bulb. See "Lights."
