KitchenAid 24" Stainless Steel Refrigerator/Freezer Drawer Uso Y Cuidado

TROUBLESHOOTING

■

Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 
3 prong outlet. 

■

Has a household fuse blown, or a circuit breaker tripped? 
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem 
continues, call an electrician.

■

Is the refrigerator control set to the Cool Off setting? See 
“Using the Controls.”

■

Are the refrigerator drawers not cooling? Turn them off 
then on again to reset. See “Using the Controls.” If this does 
not correct the problem, call for service.

■

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 drawers? Adding a large amount of food warms 
the refrigerator drawers. The motor normally will run longer to 
cool the refrigerator drawers back down.

■

Are the drawers 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 drawer as 
soon as possible.

■

Are the controls not set correctly for the surrounding 
conditions? See “Using the Controls.”

■

Are the drawers not closed completely? Close the drawers 
firmly. If they do not close completely, see “The drawers will 
not close completely” later in this section.

■

Are the drawer gaskets not sealed all the way around? 
Contact a technician or other qualified person.

The sounds may be normal for your refrigerator drawers. See 
“Normal Sounds.” 

The warmth is probably due to normal operation of the 
automatic exterior moisture control. If still concerned, call for 
service.

■

Are the air vents blocked in either compartment? This 
obstructs cold air movement between the compartments. 
Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. See 
“Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” for the location of air vents.

■

Are the drawers opened often? The refrigerator drawers will 
warm when this occurs. Keep the refrigerator drawers cool by 
getting all items out at one time, keeping food organized, and 
closing the door as soon as possible.

■

Has a large amount of food just been added to the 
refrigerator drawers? Adding a large amount of food warms 
the refrigerator drawers. It can take several hours for the 
refrigerator drawers to return to the normal temperature.

■

Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding 
conditions? See “Using the Controls.” 

■

Are the refrigerator drawers not cooling? Turn them off 
then on again to reset. See “Using the Controls.” If this does 
not correct the problem, call for service.

■

Are the air vents blocked in the refrigerator drawers? 
Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. See 
“Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” for the location of air vents.

■

Are the drawers opened often? Avoid humidity buildup by 
getting all items out at one time, keeping food organized, and 
closing the drawer as soon as possible. 

■

Is the room humid? It is normal for moisture to build up 
inside the refrigerator drawers when the room air is humid.

■

Is the food packaged correctly? Check that all food is 
securely wrapped. Dry damp food containers before placing 
in the refrigerator drawers.

■

Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding 
conditions? See “Using the Controls.” 

■

Are food packages blocking the drawer open? Rearrange 
containers so that they fit more tightly and take up less 
space.
