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 air flow-one fan blows cold air through the refrigerator and freezer
compartments, another fan
COOIS the compressor motor.
● These NORMAL sounds will also be he~d 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.
cWhh 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
● Warm weather—frequent door openings.
TEMPERATURE
’100 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 have been lefi ajar or package holding door open.
CRYSTALS ON
● Too frequent and too long door openings.
FROZEN FOOD
● Frost within package is normal.
SLOW ICE CUBE
. Door may have been 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
odor/taste to ice cubes.
c Interior of refrigerator needs cleaning—refer to page lg.
● Poor-tasting incoming water. Install a water filter-seepage 19.
AU~MATIC
* Icemaker feeler arm in OFF (up) position.
ICEMAKER
● Water supply turned off or not connected.
DOES NOT WORK
● Freezer compartment too warm.
● Cubes too small—water shut-off valve connecting refrigerator to home water line may
be clogged.
● Sometimes cubes fuse 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 reaching for 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.
