■

Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong 
outlet.

■

Is outlet working? Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is 
working.

■

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

■

Control(s) on? Make sure the refrigerator control is on. See 
“Using the Control(s).”

■

New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for 
the refrigerator to cool completely.   

NOTE: Adjusting the temperature control(s) to coldest setting 
will not cool the refrigerator more quickly.

Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its 
high-efficiency compressor and fans. The unit may run even 
longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, the door is 
opened often, or if the door has been left open.

Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this 
reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new 
refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below 
are listed some normal sounds with explanations.

■

Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice 
maker

■

Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize 
performance.

■

Hissing/Rattling - flow of refrigerant, movement of water 
lines, or from items placed on top of the refrigerator.

■

Sizzling/Gurgling - water dripping on the heater during 
defrost cycle

■

Popping - contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially 
during initial cool-down.

■

Water running/dripping - may be heard when ice melts 
during defrosting and water runs into the drain pan.

■

Creaking/Cracking - occurs as ice is being ejected from the 
ice maker mold.

■

Door blocked open? Move food packages away from door. 

■

Bin or shelf in the way? Push bin or shelf back in the correct 
position.

■

Crisper cover in the way? Make sure the crisper cover is 
fully pushed in, so that the back rests on the supports. 

■

Refrigerator not tilted toward the rear? So the doors will 
close easier, raise the front of the refrigerator so that it tilts 
slightly downward toward the rear. See “Adjust the Doors.” 

■

Door closed too quickly? Close the door slowly and firmly to 
keep the door from popping open.

■

Gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets and contact surfaces 
with mild soap and warm water. Rinse and dry with soft cloth.

■

New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for 
the refrigerator to cool completely.

■

Door opened often or left open? Allows warm air to enter 
refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep door fully 
closed. 

■

Large load of food added? Allow several hours for 
refrigerator to return to normal temperature. 

■

Control(s) set correctly for the surrounding conditions? 
Adjust the control(s) a setting colder. Check temperature in 
24 hours. See “Using the Control(s).”
