8. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them 

together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.

9. Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator so 

it rolls more easily OR screw in the leveling legs so they don't 
scrape the floor. See the “Level Refrigerator” section in the 
Installation Instructions.

10. Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the 

refrigerator cabinet.

When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to 
the Installation Instructions for preparation instructions. Also, if 
your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, remember to 
reconnect the water supply to the refrigerator.

TROUBLESHOOTING

■

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.

■

Is the refrigerator in “Holiday?” See “Holiday” feature.

■

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 interior lights 
will shut off.  

■

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).” 

■

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

NOTE: Your new refrigerator will run longer than your old one 
due to its high-efficiency motor.

■

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

■

Has the ice maker just been installed? The ice bin holds 
14 to 17 lbs (6.4 to 7.7 kg) of ice. The ice bin can take three to 
four days to completely fill, if no ice is used during this time.

■

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

■

Is the ice maker wire shutoff arm in the OFF (wire shutoff 
arm up) position (on some models)? Lower wire shutoff arm 
to the ON (wire shutoff arm down) position. See “Ice Maker 
and Storage Bin.” 

■

Is the water line shutoff valve to the refrigerator not 
turned on? Turn on the water valve. See “Connect Water Line 
to Refrigerator” in the Installation Instructions. 

■

Is an ice cube jammed in the ice maker ejector arm?
Remove the ice from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil. 
See “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”
