Troubleshooting

In case of malfunction, y ou can solve many common problems easily.

If your refrigerator-freezer does not operate:

Is the power supply cord plugged in?

If the doors will not close completely:

Are the drawers out of position?
Are the gaskets dirty?
Is the refrigerator-freezer level?

If the refrigerator-freezer is noisy when r unning:

Check that the appliance is level and is not in contact with another appliance or ar t icle o f kitchen

furniture.

If the refrigerator-freezer does not cool sufficiently:

Have the doors been opened too often, or have t hey been left open for a while? If so, it will take time

for the refrigerator-freezer to reach its set temperature.

Has the airflow at the rear of the appliance been red uced due to insufficient cl ear ance?

The following c ha r acteristics should not be looke d upon as a problem :

• A gentl e t r ickling sound caused by coolant f lowing through the pipes.

• Compressor operating at high temperature.

Requesting A ssistan ce or Service:

If the problem is not due to one of the items listed in Troubleshooting, contact the dealer or authorized
service company. You can also call our SUMMIT® Customer Service line at 1-800-932-4267 weekdays
