ProblemSolution
The refrigerator will not operateNew installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator to cool completely
Are controls on? Make sure the refrigerator controls are on
Household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician
Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet
Is outlet working? Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is working
The motor seems to run too muchYour 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
The refrigerator seems noisyRefrigerator 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
The doors will not close completelyDoor blocked open? Move food packages away from door
Bin or shelf in the way? Push bin or shelf back into the correct position
The doors are difficult to openGaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets and contact surfaces with mild soap and warm water. Rinse and dry with soft cloth
Temperature is too warmNew installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator to cool completely.
Door(s) opened often or left open? Allows warm air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep doors fully closed.
Large load of food added? Allow several hours for refrigerator to return to normal temperature.
Controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions? Adjust the controls a setting colder. Check temperature in 24 hours.
Temperature is too cold in refrigeratorRefrigerator air vent blocked? If the air vent located in the top, left, rear corner of the refrigerator compartment is blocked by items placed directly in front of it, the refrigerator will get too cold. Move items away from the air vent.
Ice storage bin in correct position?
Controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions? Adjust the controls a setting warmer. Check temperature in 24 hours.
There is interior moisture buildupHumid room? Contributes to moisture buildup.
Door(s) opened often or left open? Allows humid air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep doors fully closed.
The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough iceRefrigerator connected to a water supply and the supply shutoff valve turned on? Connect refrigerator to water supply and turn water shutoff valve fully open.
Off-taste, odor or gray color in the ice New plumbing connections? New plumbing connections can cause discolored or off-flavored ice
Ice stored too long? Discard ice. Wash ice bin. Allow 24 hours for ice maker to make new ice
Odor transfer from food? Use airtight, moisture proof packaging to store food
Are there minerals (such as sulfur) in the water? A water filter may need to be installed to remove the minerals
Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Gray or dark discoloration in ice indicates that the water filtration system needs additional flushing. Flush the water system before using a new water filter. Replace water filter when indicated.

ProblemPossible causesSolutions
The refrigerator will not operateCheck electrical supplyPlug the power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not use an extension cord.
Make sure there is power to the outlet. Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is working.
Reset a tripped circuit breaker. Replace any blown fuses. NOTE: If problems continue, contact an electrician.
Check controlsMake sure the controls are turned on.
New installationAllow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator to cool completely. NOTE: Adjusting the temperature controls to the coldest setting will not cool either compartment more quickly.
Refrigerator control is in Showroom mode (on some models)If the refrigerator is in Showroom mode, cooling is turned off and "Showroom" will be illuminated on the control panel.
The motor seems to run too muchHigh efficiency compressor and fansLarger, more efficient refrigerators run longer at lower, more energy efficient speeds.
The room or outdoor temperature is hot.It is normal for the refrigerator to work longer under these conditions. For optimum performance, place the refrigerator in an indoor, temperature controlled environment.
A large amount of warm food has been recently added.Warm food will cause the refrigerator to run longer until the air cools to the desired temperature.
The door(s) are opened too frequently or for too long.Warm air entering the refrigerator causes it to run more. Open the door less often.
The refrigerator door or freezer drawer is ajar.Make sure the refrigerator is level.
The refrigerator control is set too cold.Adjust the refrigerator control to a less cold setting until the refrigerator temperature is as desired.
The door or drawer gasket is dirty, worn, or cracked.Clean or change the gasket. Leaks in the door seal will cause the refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain desired temperatures.
The lights do not workYour refrigerator is equipped with LED lighting which does not need to be replaced.If there is power to the refrigerator and the lights do not illuminate when a door or drawer is opened, call for service or assistance.
The dispenser light is set to OFFOn some models, the dispenser light will operate only when a dispenser paddle is pressed.
Doors have been open longer than 10 minutesClose the doors and drawer to reset, and open to resume lighted task.
Pantry Temperature Control not lit/ unresponsiveThe refrigerator is in Cooling Off modeExit Cooling Off mode.
The refrigerator controls' initialization process did not complete successfully.Unplug the refrigerator, wait 5 seconds. Plug in the refrigerator, and wait 30 seconds before opening any of the refrigerator doors or touching the control panel.
The refrigerator seems noisy Below are listed some normal sounds with explanations.The compressor in your new refrigerator regulates temperature more efficiently while using less energy, and operates quietly. Due to this reduction in operating noise you may notice unfamiliar noises that are normal.
