A layer of frost occurs in one of
the compartments.
• A layer of frost may occur on the compartment’s
interior walls if the freezer is opened frequently or
kept open too long.
• Make sure that the air outlets are not blocked by food.
• Make sure that the doors are fully closed.
• To remove the frost, see Defrosting your refrigerator
on page 10.
The refrigerator door is hard to
open.
• When you open the refrigerator door, warm air rushes
inside. When you close the door, the warm air rushes
to the condenser which causes a vacuum. This causes
the door to be hard to open for about 10 to 15
seconds after closing.
• If the door is hard to open at other times, try rubbing
paraffin wax or petroleum jelly along the edges of the
entire gasket. Paraffin wax is used for canning and is
safe for use around food.
The compressor runs for a long
time or turns on and off
frequently.
The compressor runs longer if:
• The room temperature is high.
• You just added a large amount of food. Wait for the
food to freeze, then check again.
• You open and close the door frequently.
• The door gasket is dirty. Clean the gasket. See
Maintaining your refrigerator
on page 14.
• Your refrigerator has been disconnected for a period
of time. Wait for your refrigerator to cool (about four
hours) before adding food.
• You have the temperature set too low.
The light inside the refrigerator
does not turn on.
• Make sure that your refrigerator is plugged into a
working outlet.
• If a door stays open too long, your refrigerator
automatically turns off the light.
• Close then open the door again.
• Check to see if the light is damaged. If the light is
damaged, have it replaced by a qualified service
technician. See Changing the interior light
on
page 14.
The refrigerator makes unusual
noises or vibrations.
The following sounds are normal:
• Compressor running noises.
• Air movement noise from the small fan motor in the
freezer compartment or other compartments.
• Gurgling sound similar to water boiling.
• Clicking noise before the compressor starts.
Other unusual noises or vibrations may occur:
• If you have items on the top of your refrigerator.
Remove the items.
• If your refrigerator is not level. See Leveling your
refrigerator on page 8.
• If your refrigerator is touching walls. Move it away
from the walls.
• If the shelves or drawers are installed incorrectly.
