TROUBLESHOOTING

Review the Troubleshooting section before calling for service; doing so will save you both time

and money.

Problem Possible Causes Solutions

Fridge and

Freezer section

are not cooling.

The fridge control is set to OFF

(some models).

Turn the control ON. Refer to the Setting the

Controls section for proper temperature settings.

Fridge is in the defrost cycle. During the defrost cycle, the temperature of

each compartment may rise slightly. Wait 30

minutes and confirm the proper temperature

has been restored once the defrost cycle has

completed.

Fridge was recently installed. It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment

to reach the desired temperature.

Fridge was recently relocated. If the fridge was stored for a long period of

time or moved on its side, it is necessary for

the fridge to stand upright for 24 hours before

connecting it to power.

Cooling System

runs too much.

Fridge is replacing an older

model.

Modern fridges require more operating time

but use less energy due to more efficient

technology.

Fridge was recently plugged in

or power restored.

The fridge will take up to 24 hours to cool

completely.

Door opened often or a large

amount of food / hot food was

added.

Adding food and opening the door warms the

fridge, requiring the compressor to run longer in

order to cool the fridge back down. In order to

conserve energy, try to get everything you need

out of the fridge at once, keep food organized so

it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as

the food is removed. (Refer to the Food Storage

Guide.)

Doors are not closed

completely.

Check that food items are not obstructing the

door from closing then firmly push the doors

shut.

Fridge is installed in a hot

location.

The compressor will run longer under warm

conditions. At normal room temperatures (21°C)

expect your compressor to run about 40% to

80% of the time. Under warmer conditions,

expect it to run even more often. The fridge

should not be operated above 43°C.

Condenser / back cover is

clogged.

Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to

clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not

remove the panel covering the condenser coil

area. Disconnect the refrigerator power cord

before doing so.
