■

Is the room temperature hotter than normal? Expect the 
motor to run longer under warm conditions. At normal room 
temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of 
the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even 
more of the time.

■

Has a large amount of food just been added to the 
refrigerator? Adding a large amount of food warms the 
refrigerator. It is normal for the motor to run longer in order to 
cool the refrigerator back down. See “Refrigerator Features.” 

■

Are the doors opened often? Expect the motor to run longer 
when this occurs. In order to conserve energy, try to get 
everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food 
organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as 
the food is removed.

■

Is the control set correctly for the surrounding 
conditions? See “Using the Control(s),” depending on the 
model.

■

Are the doors closed completely? Push the doors firmly 
shut. If they will not shut all the way, see “The doors will not 
close completely” later in this section.

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? Wait 72 hours for full 
ice production to begin. Once your refrigerator is cooled, the 
ice maker should produce 70 to 120 cubes every 24 hours.

■

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

■

Is the wire shutoff arm in the OFF (arm up) position? 
Lower the wire shutoff arm to the ON (arm down) position. 
See “Ice Maker.”

■

Is the water line shutoff valve to the refrigerator turned 
on? Turn on the water valve. See “Connect the Water 
Supply.”

■

Does the ice maker mold have water in it or has no ice 
been produced? Be sure your refrigerator has been 
connected to a water supply and the supply shutoff valve is 
turned on. See “Connect the Water Supply.”

■

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

■

Has a large amount of ice just been removed? Allow 
24 hours for ice maker to produce more ice.

■

Is the control set correctly? If too little ice is produced, see 
“Using the Control(s),” depending on the model.

■

Is a reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to 
your cold water supply? See “Water Supply Requirements.”

NOTE: If not due to any of the above, there may be a problem 
with the water line. Call for service.

■

Are the plumbing connections new, causing discolored or 
off-flavored ice? Discard the first few batches of ice.

■

Have the ice cubes been stored for too long? Throw away 
old ice and make a new supply.

■

Has food in the refrigerator been wrapped properly? See 
“Refrigerator Features.”

■

Do the freezer and ice bin need to be cleaned? See 
“Cleaning.”

■

Does the water contain minerals (such as sulfur)? A filter 
may need to be installed to remove the minerals.

The warmth is probably due to normal operation of the automatic 
exterior moisture control. If still concerned, call for service.

■

Are the air vents blocked in either compartment? This 
obstructs cold air movement between the compartments. 
Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. See 
“Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” for the location of air vents.

■

Are the door(s) opened often? Be aware that the refrigerator 
will warm when this occurs. In order to keep the refrigerator 
cool, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at 
once, keep food organized so it is easy to find, and close the 
door as soon as the food is removed.

■

Has a large amount of food just been added to the 
refrigerator or freezer? Adding a large amount of food 
warms the refrigerator. It can take several hours for the 
refrigerator to return to the normal temperature.

■

Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding 
conditions? See “Using the Control(s),” depending on the 
model.

■

Are the air vents blocked in the refrigerator? Remove any 
objects from in front of the air vents. See “Ensuring Proper Air 
Circulation” for the location of air vents.

■

Are the door(s) opened often? To avoid humidity buildup, 
try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, 
keep food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door 
as soon as the food is removed. When the door is opened, 
humidity from the room air enters the refrigerator. The more 
often the door is opened, the faster humidity builds up, 
especially when the room itself is very humid.

■

Is the room humid? It is normal for moisture to build up 
inside the refrigerator when the room air is humid.

■

Is the food packaged correctly? Check that all food is 
securely wrapped. Wipe off damp food containers before 
placing in the refrigerator.

■

Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding 
conditions? See “Using the Control(s),” depending on the 
model.

■

Was a self-defrost cycle completed? It is normal for 
droplets to form on the back wall after the refrigerator self-
defrosts.
