Power Interruptions
If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door or 
doors closed (depending on your model) to help food stay cold 
and frozen. 
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the 
following:
Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
Place 2 lbs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot 
(28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for 2 to 
4 days.
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 
refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the 
condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.
Vacation Care
Your refrigerator is equipped with the Holiday Mode feature, 
which is designed for the traveler who wishes to turn off the lights 
and ice maker. By selecting this feature, the temperature set 
points remain unchanged, the ice maker will be disabled and the 
interior lights will turn off. For most efficient refrigerator operation, 
it is recommended to exit the Holiday Mode when it is no longer 
required.
If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On While You’re 
Away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. Press HOLIDAY MODE pad.
3. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, shut off water 
supply to the ice maker.
4. Empty the ice bin.
5. When you return from vacation, press HOLIDAY MODE to 
return to normal operation. 
If You Choose to Turn the 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.
3. Depending on your model, turn the Thermostat Control 
(or Refrigerator Control) to OFF. See “Using Controls.”
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.
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? Plug into a grounded 
3 prong outlet.
Has a household fuse or circuit breaker tripped? Replace 
the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Is the refrigerator or freezer control turned to the OFF 
position? 
See “Using the Control(s).” 
Is the refrigerator defrosting? Recheck to see if the 
refrigerator is operating in 30 minutes. Your refrigerator will 
regularly run an automatic defrost cycle.
Is the refrigerator not cooling? For models with digital 
controls, turn the unit OFF then ON again to reset. See “Using 
the Control(s).” If this does not correct the problem, call for 
service.
The lights do not work
Is the refrigerator in “Holiday Mode?” See “Holiday Mode.”
Is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See 
“Changing the Light Bulb(s).” 
Has the door been open more than 10 minutes? When the 
door is held open for more than 10 minutes, the “Door Open” 
indicator light will flash and the interior lights will shut off. See 
“Door Open” in “Using the Control(s).” 
The motor seems to run too much
Is the room temperature hotter than normal? The motor 
will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room 
temperatures, expect your motor to run about 80% of the 
time. Under warmer conditions, it will run even more. 
Has a large amount of food just been added to the 
refrigerator? 
Adding a large amount of food warms the 
refrigerator. The motor normally will run longer to cool the 
refrigerator back down.
Are the doors opened often? The motor will run longer 
when this occurs. Conserve energy by getting all items out at 
one time, keeping food organized, and closing the door as 
soon as possible.
Are the controls not set correctly for the surrounding 
conditions? 
See “Using the Control(s).”
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.
