Troubleshooting

The Refrigerator 

does not work at all 

or it does not chill 

sufficiently.

•  Check that the power plug is properly connected.

•  Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct 

temperature? Try setting it to a lower temperature.

•  Is the Refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat source?

•  Is the back of the Refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore 

keeping air from circulating?

The food in the 

Refrigerator is frozen.

•  Is the temperature control on the display set to the correct 

temperature? Try setting it to a warmer temperature.

•  Is the temperature in the room too low?

•  Did you store the food with high water content in the coldest part 

of the Refrigerator? Try moving those items into the body of the 

Refrigerator instead of keeping them in the Cool Select Pantry™.

You hear unusual 

noise or sounds.

•  Check that the Refrigerator is level and stable.

•  Is the back of the Refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore 

keeping air from circulating?

•  Was anything dropped behind or under the Refrigerator?

•  A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the Refrigerator. It is 

normal and occurs because various accessories are contracting 

or expanding according to the temperature of the Refrigerator 

interior.

The front corners and 

vertical hinged section 

of the appliance are 

hot and condensation 

is occurring.

•  Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in 

the vertical hinged section of the Refrigerator to prevent 

condensation.

•  Is the Refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you 

leave the door open for a long time.

Ice is not dispensing.

•  Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the water supply line 

before making ice?

•  Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?

•  Did you manually stop the ice making function?

•  Is the Freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the Freezer 

temperature lower.

You can hear water 

bubbling in the 

Refrigerator.

•  This is normal. The bubbling comes from the refregerant 

circulating throughout the tubing within the refrigerator.

There is a bad smell in 

the Refrigerator.

•  Check for spoiled food.

•  Foods with strong odors(for example, fish) should be tightly 

covered.

•  Clean out your Freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or 

suspicious food.

Frost forms on the 

walls of the Freezer.

•  Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can 

circulate freely.

•  Allow sufficient space between the foods stored for efficient air 

circulation.

•  Is the Freezer drawer closed properly?

Water dispenser is not 

functioning.

•  Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?

•  Has the water supply line tubing been crushed or kinked? Make 

sure the tubing is free and clear of any obstruction.

•  Is the water tank frozen because the Refrigerator temperature is 

too low? Try selecting a warmer setting on the main display panel.
