■

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. 

■

Are controls on? Make sure the refrigerator controls are on. 
See “Using the Control(s).”

■

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

NOTE: Adjusting the temperature controls to coldest setting 
will not cool either compartment 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, doors are 
opened often, or if the doors have 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 - may be heard when ice melts during the 
defrost cycle 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. 

■

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