TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Problem COMPRESSOR MOTOR SEEMS TO RUN TOO MUCH DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY THE DOORS ARE DIFFICULT TO OPEN TEMPERATURE IS TOO WARM OR THERE IS INTERIOR MOISTURE BUILDUP Possible Causes Solutions • The doors are not closed completely. • The condenser coils are dirty. • Push the doors firmly shut. If they will not shut all the way, see Doors will not close completely below. • This prevents air transfer and makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils. Refer to the "Care and Cleaning" section. • The refrigerator is not level. • Food packages are blocking the door open. • The ice bin, crisper cover, pans, shelves, door bins or baskets are out of position. • The gaskets are sticking. • The refrigerator wobbles or seems unstable. • The doors were removed during product installation and not properly replaced. • See the "Refrigerator Installation" and "Door Alignment" sections to level refrigerator. • Rearrange food containers to clear door and door shelves. • Push bins all the way in and put crisper cover, pans, shelves and baskets into their correct positions. See the "Using your Refrigerator" Section. • Clean gaskets and the surface that they touch. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the gaskets after cleaning. • Level the refrigerator. Refer to the "Door Alignment" section. • Remove and replace the doors according to the "Removing and Replacing Refrigerator Doors" section or call qualified service technician. • The gaskets are dirty or sticky. • The door is reopened within a short time after having been opened. • Clean gaskets and the surfaces that they touch. Rub a thin coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax on the gaskets after cleaning. • When you open the door, warmer air enters the refrigerator. As the warm air cools, it can create a vacuum. If the door is hard to open, wait 5 minutes to allow the air pressure to equalize, then see if it opens more easily. • The doors are opened often. • The control is not set correctly for the surrounding conditions. • A large amount of food has just been added to the refrigerator or freezer. • The food is not packaged correctly. • The doors are not closing completely. • The weather is humid. • A self-defrost cycle was completed. • The air vents are blocked. Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh food section and back again through air vents in the wall dividing the two sections. • When the door is opened, warm humid air is allowed into the refrigerator. The more the door is opened, the faster the humidity builds up, and the more warm air the refrigerator must cool. 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. • Refer to the "Control Panel Features". Wait 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize or even out. If the temperature is too cold or too warm, adjust the setting one level at a time. • Adding food warms the refrigerator. It can take a few hours for the refrigerator to return to normal temperature. • Wrap food tightly and wipe off damp containers prior to storing in the refrigerator to avoid moisture accumulation. If necessary, repackage food according to the guidelines in the "Food Storage Guide" section. • See "Doors will not close completely". • In humid weather, air carries moisture into refrigerator when doors are opened. • It is normal for droplets to form on the back wall after the refrigerator self-defrosts. • Locate air vents by using your hand to sense airflow and move all packages that block vents and restrict airflow. Refer to "Ensuring Proper Air Circulation" section for the location of air vents. 24
