54 TROUBLESHOOTING ENGLISH TROUBLESHOOTING Review the Troubleshooting section before calling for service; doing so will save you both time and money. Problem Possible Causes Solutions Refrigerator and Freezer section are not cooling. The refrigerator control is set to Turn the control ON. Refer to the Setting the OFF (some models). Controls section for proper temperature settings. Refrigerator is in the defrost cycle. 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. Refrigerator was recently installed. It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature. Refrigerator was recently relocated. May be in Display mode. 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. Refer to page 25 for Display mode instructions. Cooling System runs too much. Refrigerator is replacing an older model. Refrigerator was recently plugged in or power restored. Door opened often or a large amount of food / hot food was added. Modern refrigerators require more operating time but use less energy due to more efficient technology. The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool completely. 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 find, and close the door as soon as the food is removed. (Refer to the Food Storage Guide.) Doors are not closed completely. Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not shut all the way, see the Doors will not close completely or pop open section in Troubleshooting. Refrigerator is installed in a hot location. The compressor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures (70°F) 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. 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. Unplug the cord or switch off the breaker before cleaning.
