4. 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:

■

Remove the base grille.

■

Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille, 
the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area 
of the condenser.

■

Replace the base grille when finished.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Changing the Light Bulb

IMPORTANT: The light bulbs in both the refrigerator and freezer 
compartments of your new refrigerator use LED technology. If the 
lights do not illuminate when the refrigerator and/or freezer door is 
opened, call for assistance or service. See “Warranty” for phone 
numbers.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove the light shield, if necessary.

■

Top of the refrigerator compartment - Squeeze both sides 
of the light shield while pulling downward to remove.

■

Beneath ice storage enclosure (on some models) - Press 
along upper edge of light shield and roll light shield 
forward to remove. 

3. Replace the burned-out LED bulb(s) with a bulb of the same 

size, shape and wattage.

■

To replace the burned-out LED bulb with an LED bulb, 
order Part Number W10565137 (3.6 watts).

NOTE: Some LED replacement bulbs are not 
recommended for wet/damp environments. The 
refrigerator and freezer compartments are considered to 
be wet/damp environments. If using a brand of LED bulb 
other than the recommended LED bulb, before 
installation, read and follow all instructions on the LED 
packaging. 

■

If an incandescent bulb is used to replace an LED bulb, 
use only incandescent bulbs for household appliances 
with a maximum of 40 watts.

4. Replace the light shield(s) by inserting the tabs on the shield 

into the liner holes and snap into place.
NOTE: To avoid damaging the light shield, do not force the 
shield beyond the locking point.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Vacation and Moving Care

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 (arm up) position, or press the switch to OFF.

4. Empty the ice bin.

Models with Vacation mode feature: 

■

Turn on Vacation mode. See “Using the Controls.”

NOTE: Activating Vacation mode does not turn off the ice 
maker. 

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 press the switch to OFF, 
depending on your model.

3. Empty the ice bin. 
4. Turn off the Temperature control(s). See “Using the Control(s).”
5. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.
6. 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.

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 press the switch to OFF, 
depending on your model.

2. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen food 

in dry ice.

3. Empty the ice bin.
4. Turn off the Temperature control(s). See “Using the Control(s).”
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 raise the leveling screws so they don't 
scrape the floor. See “Adjust the Door(s)” or “Door Closing 
and Door 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” section for preparation instructions. 
Also, if your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, remember to 
reconnect the water supply to the refrigerator.
