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 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 Control turned to the OFF position?
See the “Using the Control(s)” section.

■

Is the refrigerator defrosting?

Recheck to see if the

refrigerator is operating in 30 minutes. Your refrigerator will
regularly run an automatic defrost cycle.

The lights do not work

■

Is the power cord unplugged?

Plug into a grounded 3 prong

outlet.

■

Is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out?

See the

“Changing the Light Bulb(s)” section.

There is water in the defrost drain pan

■

Is the refrigerator defrosting?

The water will evaporate. It is

normal for water to drip into the defrost pan.

■

Is it more humid than normal?

When it is humid, expect that

the water in the defrost pan will take longer to evaporate.

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, your motor will run about 40% to 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.

■

Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions?

See the “Using the Control(s)” section.

■

Are the doors closed completely?

Close the doors firmly. If

they do not close completely, see “The doors will not close
completely” later in this section.

■

Are the condenser coils dirty?

This prevents air transfer and

makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils. See
the “Cleaning” section.

NOTE:

Your new refrigerator will run longer than your old one due

to its high-efficiency motor.

The refrigerator seems to make too much noise

■

The sounds may be normal for your refrigerator.

See the

“Normal Sounds” section.

The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice.

■

Has the ice maker just been installed?

Wait 72 hours for full

ice production to begin. Once your refrigerator is cooled, the
ice maker should produce 70-120 cubes every 24 hours.

■

Is the freezer temperature cold enough to produce ice?
Wait 24 hours after hook-up for ice production. See the
“Using the Control(s)” section.

■

Is the wire shutoff arm in the OFF (arm up) position?
Lower the wire shutoff arm to the ON (arm down) position.
See the “Ice Maker” section.

■

Is the water line shutoff valve to the refrigerator turned
on?

Turn on the water valve. See the “Water Supply

Connection" section.

■

Does the ice maker mold have water in it or has no ice
been produced?

Be sure your refrigerator has been

connected to a water supply and the supply shutoff valve is
turned on. See the “Water Supply Connection" section.

■

Is an ice cube jammed in the ejector arm?

Remove the ice

from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil. See the “Ice
Maker” section.

■

Has a large amount of ice just been removed?

Allow 24

hours for ice maker to produce more ice.

■

Is the control set correctly?

If too little ice is produced, see

the “Using the Control(s)” section.

■

Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator?

The

filter may be full or incorrectly installed. Depending on your
model, remove the water filter cartridge (see the "Interior
Water Filtration System” section). Operate the dispenser. If
the water flow increases noticeably, your filter is full and
needs to be replaced.

NOTE:

If not due to any of the above, there may be a problem

with the water line. Call for service.

Off-taste, odor or gray color in the ice

■

Are the plumbing connections new, causing discolored or
off-flavored ice?

Discard the first few batches of ice.

■

Have the ice cubes been stored too long?

Throw old ice

away and make a new supply.

■

Has food in the refrigerator been wrapped properly?

See

the “Refrigerator Features” section.

■

Do the freezer and ice bin need to be cleaned?

See the

“Cleaning” section.

■

Does the water contain minerals (such as sulfur)?

A filter

may need to be installed to remove the minerals.

■

Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator?
Gray or dark discoloration in ice indicates that the water
filtration system needs additional flushing. Run additional
water through the water dispenser to flush the water filtration
system more thoroughly, at least 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) or 6 to
7 minutes initially. Discard discolored ice.
