PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY
OPEIU4TING SOUNDS
● 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:
● De~st timer switch C]icksat defrost.
● Defrost water dripping into drain pan.
● Temperature control clicks ON or OFF.
cRefrigerant boiling or gurgling.
● Cracking or popping of coding coils caused by expansion and contraction during
defhst and refrigeration following defrost.
● With automatic icemaker, the sound of cubes dropping into the bin and water
running in pipes as icemaker refills.
FRESH FOOD
● Temperature control not set cold enough. Refer to TEMPERATURE CONTROLS
OR FREEZER
on page 5.
COMPARTMENT
TEMPERATURE
● W- weather—frequent door openings.
m
w- ● Dmr left open for long time.
● Package may be holding door open.
FOODS DRY OUT
● Foods not covered, wrapped or sealed properly.
FROST OR ICE
● Door may have been left ajar or package holding door open.
CRYSTALSON
FROZEN FOOD
● TM frequent and too long door openings.
* Frost within package is normal.

● Door may have been left ajar.
FREEZING
● ‘Ihm temperature of ffeezer compartment colder.
ICE CUBES HAVE
@Old cubes need to be discarded.
ODOR/TASTE
c Ice storage bin needs to be emptied and washed.
. Unsealed packages in refrigerator and/or freezer compartments may be transmitting
odor/taste to ice cubes.
● Interior of refrigerator needs cleaning-refer to page 17.
● Poor-tasting incoming water. Install a water filter-seepage 18.
AUTKIMATIC
● Icemaker feeler arm in OFF (up) position.
ICEMAKER
DOES N(YI’WORK
. Water supply turned off or not connected.
● Freezer compartment too warm.
● Cubes too small—water shut-off valve connecting refrigerator to home waterline may
be clogged.
c Piled up cubes in storage bin may cause icemaker to shut off prematurely. With
icemaker f=ler arm in OFF (up) position, level cubes in bin by hand.
