Refrigerator Care
Cleaning
Both 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:

Troubleshooting
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
Refrigerator Operation
The refrigerator will not operate
Power cord unplugged?UÊÊ Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Is outlet working?
UÊÊ Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is working.
Household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped?
UÊÊ Replace the fuse or reset the circuit
breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
Are controls on?
UÊÊ Make sure the refrigerator controls are on. See “Using the Controls.”
New installation?
UÊÊ Allow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator to cool completely.
NOTE: Adjusting the temperature controls to coldest setting will not cool either compartment
more quickly.
The motor seems to run too much
Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its high-efficiency compressor
and fans. To maximize energy efficiency, the compressor changes speed to provide just the right
amount of cooling as it is needed. Your refrigerator may run as much as 100% of the time, but it
will still use less energy than an older refrigerator. You may notice that it runs more often when the
room is warm, a large amount of food is added to either compartment, or the doors are opened
often.
The refrigerator is noisy
Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below are
listed some normal sounds with an explanation.
Buzzing
UÊÊ - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice maker
