Clean, wipe, and dry it thoroughly. 4. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them together so they don't shift and rattle during the move. 5.

TROUBLESHOOTING Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call. OPERATION WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock. Power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Is outlet working? Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is working. Household fuse blown, or a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit. If the problem continues, call an electrician. Are controls on? Be sure that the refrigerator controls are on. Refer "Controls" section. THE MOTOR SEEMS TO RUN TOO MUCH Is the temperature outside hotter than normal? Expect the motor to run longer under warm conditions. At normal temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more of the time. Has a large amount of food just been added to the refrigerator? Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. It is normal for the motor to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down. Is the door opened often? Expect the motor to run 14 longer when this occurs. 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. Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? Refer "Controls" section. Is the door closed completely? Push the door firmly shut. If it will not shut all the way, refer "The door will not close completely" later in this section. Are the condenser coils dirty? This obstructs air transfer and makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils. Refer "Cleaning" section. TEMPERATURE AND MOISTURE TEMPERATURE IS TOO WARM Is the door opened often? Be aware that the refrigerator will warm up when this occurs. In order to keep the refrigerator cool, 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. Has a large amount of food just been added to the refrigerator? Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. It can take several hours for the refrigerator to return to the normal temperature. Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? Refer "Using the Controls." Is the base grille blocked? For best performance, do not install the refrigerator behind a cabinet door or block the base grille. THERE IS INTERIOR MOISTURE BUILDUP Is the door opened often? To avoid humidity buildup, 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. When the door is opened, humidity from the room air enters the refrigerator. The more often the door is opened, the faster humidity builds up, especially when the room itself is very humid. Is it humid? It is normal for moisture to build up inside the refrigerator when the air is humid.
