Before Calling for Service
Cooling
Refrigerator is in the defrost cycle.
• During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may rise slightly. Wait 30
minutes and conrm the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has
completed.
Refrigerator was recently installed.
• 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.
Refrigerator is replacing an older model.
• Modern refrigerators require more operating time but use less energy due to more
ecient technology.
Refrigerator was recently plugged in or power restored.
• The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool completely.
Doors are not closed completely.
• Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not shut all the way, the “Doors will not close
correctly or pop open” section in Troubleshooting
The door is opened often or a large amount of food / hot food was added.
• Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator, requiring the compressor to
run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down. In order to conserve energy, try to
get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy
to nd, and close the door as soon as the food is removed. (Refer to the Food Storage
Guide.)
Refrigerator is installed in a hot location.
• The compressor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures (70
°F or 21 °C) expect your compressor to run about 40 % to 80 % of the time. Under warmer
conditions, expect it to run even more often. The refrigerator should not be operated
above 110 °F (43 °C).
Condenser / back cover is clogged.
• Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not
remove the panel covering the condenser coil area.
Problem

to save energy while the refrigerator is on the showroom oor. See the FAQs section of
this manual for instructions on how to disable Demo Mode.
