Moving
When you are moving your convertible refrigerator/freezer to a new 
home, follow these steps to prepare it for the move.
1.
Remove all food from the convertible refrigerator/freezer and 
pack all frozen food in dry ice.
2.
Turn the lower compartment control to OFF. Turn the upper 
compartment control to FREEZE. See “Using the Controls.”
3.
Unplug your convertible refrigerator/freezer.
4.
Empty the water from the defrost pan. Hand wash, rinse and dry 
it thoroughly. 
5.
Hand wash, rinse and dry removable parts and interior surfaces 
thoroughly.
6.
Wrap removable parts well, and tape them together so they don’t 
shift and rattle during the move.
7.
Unlock the casters so that the convertible refrigerator/freezer 
rolls easily.
8.
If you have not installed the casters, raise the front of the 
convertible refrigerator/freezer so it rolls more easily. See “Adjust 
the Doors.”
9.
Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the 
convertible refrigerator/freezer cabinet.
When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to the 
“Installation Instructions” section for preparation instructions. 
TROUBLESHOOTING
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
Your convertible refrigerator/freezer will not operate
Is the power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong 
outlet.
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker 
tripped? 
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Is the Lower Compartment Control turned to the OFF 
position? 
See “Using the Controls.”
Is the convertible refrigerator/freezer defrosting? Recheck to 
see if the convertible refrigerator/freezer is operating in 
30 minutes. Your convertible refrigerator/freezer 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 
“Changing the Light Bulbs.”
There is water in the defrost drain pan
Is the convertible refrigerator/freezer 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 
convertible refrigerator/freezer? 
Adding a large amount of 
food warms the convertible refrigerator/freezer. The motor 
normally will run longer to cool the convertible refrigerator/freezer 
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 “Using the Controls.”
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 
“Cleaning.”
NOTE: Your new convertible refrigerator/freezer will run longer than 
your old one due to its high-efficiency motor.
The convertible refrigerator/freezer seems to make too 
much noise
The sounds may be normal for your convertible refrigerator/
freezer. 
See “Normal Sounds.”
The upper compartment front liner is warm
The warmth is probably due to normal operation of the automatic 
exterior moisture control. Additionally, the convertible refrigerator/
freezer is equipped with a heater to keep the convertible refrigerator/
freezer operating properly when the ambient temperature drops too 
low.
Temperature is too warm
Are the air vents blocked in either compartment? This 
prevents cold air movement between the compartments. Move 
objects away from the air vents. See “Ensuring Proper Air 
Circulation” for air vent locations.
Are the door(s) opened often? The convertible refrigerator/
freezer will warm when this occurs. Keep the convertible 
refrigerator/freezer cool by getting all items out at one time, 
keeping food organized, and closing the door as soon as 
possible.
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.
