2. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior 

surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a 
mild detergent in warm water. 

3. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean 

sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. 

4. There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal 

home operating environments. If the environment is 
particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in 
the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to 
3 months to ensure maximum efficiency.

If you need to clean the condenser:

■

Remove the base grille.

■

Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille, 
the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area 
of the condenser.

■

Replace the base grille when finished.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

NOTE: Not all bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace 
the bulb with an appliance bulb of the same size, shape, and 
wattage.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove the bulb from behind the control panel in the 

refrigerator or from behind the light shield in the freezer (on 
some models). Replace it with an appliance bulb of the same 
wattage.

3. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

■

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.

■

Is control on? Make sure the refrigerator control is on. See 
“Using the Control.”

■

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

NOTE: Adjusting the temperature control 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.

■

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.

■

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

■

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

■

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.
