• Has a door or drawer been left open for an extended
period? Be sure that food is not obstructing proper
door or drawer closing.

Contact your dealer if doors or drawers are not
adjusted properly. When opening drawers, you may
notice a side-to-side motion in the drawer. This motion
is normal, with the tolerance built into the drawer
slides. When the drawer is closed, it will automatically
adjust and close with correct alignment.

• Clean the condenser area.
You hear unusual noises.
• These noises may be normal operating sounds related
to refrigerant circulation, fan operation, ice maker oper-
ation, defrost cycle or compressor operation. Noises
may be more noticeable when doors are open.

service.
