POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY
. Normal air flow cooling motor. /n the refrigeration process, if k norms/ that
heat be expelled in the area under the refrigerator Some floor coverings will
discolor at these normal and safe operating temperatures. Your floor covering
supplier should be consulted if you object to this discoloration.
. Door gasket on hinge side sticking or folding over. To correct, put a small
amount of petroleum jelly on face of gasket.
. The high speed compressor motor required to maintain near zero
temperatures in the large freezer compartment may produce higher sound
levels than your old refrigerator.
● Normal fan air flow—one fan blows cold air through the refrigerator and
freezer compartments-another fan cools the compressor motor.
. These NORMAL sounds will also be heard from time to time:
●
●
●
●
●
●
Defrost timer switch clicks at defrost.
Defrost water dripping into drain pan.
Temperature control clicks ON or OFF.
Refrigerant boiling or gurgling.
Cracking or popping of cooling coils caused by expansion and contraction
during defrost and refrigeration following defrost.
With automatic icemaker, the sound of cubes dropping into the bin and
water running in pipes as icemaker refills.
● Temperature control not set cold enough. Refer to page 3.
. Warm weather—frequent door openings
. Door left open for long time.
. Package may be holding door open.
. Foods not covered, wrapped or sealed properly.
. Door may have been left ajar or package holding door open.
. Too frequent and too long
door openings.
. Frost within package is normal.
. Door may have been left ajar.
. Turn temperature of freezer compartment
colder.
. Old cubes need to be discarded.
. Ice storage bin needs to be emptied and washed.
. Unsealed packages in fresh food and/or freezer compartments may be
transmitting odor/taste to ice cubes.
● Interior of refrigerator needs cleaning—refer to page 9.
● Normal warmth is created by automatic energy saver system circulating warm
liquid around front edge of freezer compartment to help prevent condensation
on outside of refrigerator in hot, humid weather.
