PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY
OPERATING 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 airflow-one fan blows cold air through the refrigerator and freezer
compartments, another fm cools the compressor motor.
● These NORMAL sounds will also be heard from time to time:
. Defrost timer switch clicks at defrost.
. Defrost water dripping.
● 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, Jhe 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
. Warm weather—frequent door openings.
TEMPERATURE
~0 WARM
● Door lefi open for too long time.
● Package may be holding door open.
FOODS DRY OUT
● Foods not covered, wrapped or sealed properly.
FROST OR ICE
● Door may havebeen lefi ajar or package holding door open.
CRYSTALSON
● Toofrequent and too long door openings.
FROZEN FOOD
● Frost within package is normal.
SLOW ICE CUBE
. Door may havebeen left ajar.
FREEZING
. Turn temperature of freezer compartment colder.
ICE CUBES HAVE
. Old cubes need to be discarded.
ODOR/TASTE
● Ice storage bin needs to be emptied or washed.
● Unsealed packages in refrigerator and/or freezer compartments may be transmitting
odorhaste to ice cubes.
● Interior of refrigerator needs cleaning—refer to page 17.
. Poor-tasting incoming water. Install Quadra Kleen water filter-see page 18.
AUTDMATIC
● Icemaker feeler arm in OFF (up) position.
ICEMAKER
● Watersupply turned off or not connected.
DOES NCYI’WORK
● Freezer compartment too warm.
● Cubes too small-water shut-off valve connecting refrigerator to home water line may
be clogged.
● Sometimes cubes fi= to the side of the ice mold and hold the feeler arm in the OFF
(up) position. Remove this ice to restart the icemaker.
● When reachingfor cubes by hand, you may have pushed the feeler arm into the OFF
(up) position by mistake.
● Piled up cubes in storage bin may cause icemaker to shut off prematurely. With
icemaker feeler arm in OFF (up) position, level cubes in bin by hand.
