Cooling
Problem
Possible Cause
Solutions
Refrigerator is not
cooling or has no
power.
A fuse in your home may be
blown or the circuit breaker
tripped. Or the appliance is
connected to a GFCI (Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter)
outlet, and the outlet’s circuit
breaker has tripped.
Check the main electrical box and replace the fuse or
reset the circuit breaker. Do not increase fuse
capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it
corrected by a qualified electrician.
Reset the circuit breaker on the GFCI. If the problem
persists, contact an electrician.
The refrigerator control is set
to OFF (some models).
Turn the control ON. Refer to the Setting the 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.
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.
Cooling system
runs too much.
Refrigerator is replacing an
older model.
Modern refrigerators require more operating time but
use less energy due to more efficient technology.
Refrigerator was recently
plugged in or power
restored.
The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool
completely.
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 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, the “Doors will not close correctly or pop open”
section.
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.
