30 Common Solutions for Concerns Refrigerator Operations Concern Potential Cause Compressor does not run. • Cooling system is turned Off. • Refrigerator is in defrost cycle. Refrigerator runs too much or too long. Digital temperature displays are flashing. • Plug at wall outlet is disconnected. • House fuse is blown or a tripped circuit breaker. • Power outage. • Electronic control system keeps the refrigerator at a constant temperature. • Room or outside weather is hot. • Refrigerator has recently been disconnected for a period of time. • Automatic ice maker is operating. • Doors are opened too frequently or too long. • Refrigerator/freezer door may be slightly open. • Freezer control is set too cold (control found on side of left hand door). • Fresh food/freezer gasket is dirty, worn, cracked, or poorly fitted. • This model is provided with a high-efficiency, variable-speed compressor. • Electronic control system has detected a performance problem. Common Solution • Turn cooling system On. See Controls Section for location of cooling system On/Off button. • This is normal for a fully automatic defrost refrigerator. The defrost cycle occurs periodically, lasting about 30 minutes. • Ensure plug is tightly pushed into outlet. • Check/replace fuse with a 15 amp time-delay fuse. Reset circuit breaker. • Check house lights. Call local Electric Company. • This is normal. Refrigerator goes on and off to keep temperature constant. • It's normal for the refrigerator to work longer under these conditions. • It takes 8-12 hours for the refrigerator to cool down completely. • Ice maker operation causes refrigerator to run slightly more. • Warm air entering the refrigerator causes it to run more. Open doors less often. • Ensure refrigerator is level. Keep food and containers from blocking door. See Problem section, Opening/ Closing of Doors/ Drawers. • Set freezer control to warmer setting until refrigerator temperature is satisfactory. Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize. • Clean or change gasket. Leaks in door seal will cause refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain desired temperatures. • It is normal for the compressor to run for long periods of time. • Call your Electrolux service representative, who can interpret any messages or number codes flashing on the digital displays. Temperatures Are Too Cold Concern Potential Cause Freezer temperature too cold. Refrigerator temperature is satisfactory. • Fast Freeze function is activated. • Freezer control is set too cold. • Ice maker is on. Refrigerator temperature too cold. Freezer temperature is satisfactory. Food stored in drawers freezes. Food stored in Meat Keeper freezes (select models). • Fast Ice function is activated. • Refrigerator control is set too cold. • Refrigerator control is set too cold. • Meat Keeper temperature control is set too cold. Common Solution • Deactivate Fast Freeze function. • Set freezer control to a warmer setting.

Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize. • See solution above. • Adjust Meat Keeper temperature control to a warmer setting. Meat should be stored at a temperature just below the freezing point for maximum fresh storage time. It is normal for ice crystals to form due to the moisture content of meat.
