Problem Possible Cause & Solution
Refrigerator is not
cooling or has no
power.
A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped. Or the appliance is
connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet, and the outlet's circuit
breaker has tripped.
• Check the main electrical box and replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Do not
increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified
electrician.
• Reset the circuit breaker on the GFCI. If the problem persists, contact an electrician.
The refrigerator control is set to OFF (some models).
• Turn the control ON. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for proper temperature
settings.
Refrigerator is set to Demo Mode.
• Demo Mode allows the lights and control display to work normally while disabling cooling,
to save energy while the refrigerator is on the showroom floor. See the FAQs section of
this manual for instructions on how to disable Demo Mode.

• During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may rise slightly. Wait 30
minutes and confirm the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has
completed.

• It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature.
Refrigerator was recently relocated.
• If the refrigerator was stored for a long period of time or moved on its side, it is necessary
for the refrigerator to stand upright for 24 hours before connecting it to power.
