Vacation time Power failure If you move Anti condensation pipe Exterior Interior After cleaning Warning General information During average length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation. Place freezable items in freezer for longer life. When you plan not to operate, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave each door OPEN to prevent odor formation. Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off. Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator. To avoid damaging the height adjusting screws, tum them all the way into the base. The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especially just after installation. Don't be alammed. This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which pumps hot refrigerator to prevent “sweating” on the outer cabinet wall. Cleaning Itis important that your refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirable odors. Spilled food should be wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic surfaces if allowed to settle. Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or detergent to clean the durable finish of your refrigerator. Wipe with a clean damp cloth and then dry. Regular cleaning is recommended. Wash all compartments a baking soda solution or a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry. Please verify that the power cord is not damaged, power plug is not overheated, or power plug is well inserted into the power consent. Always remove power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of electrical parts (lamps, switches, controls, etc.). Wipe up excess moisture with a sponge or cloth to prevent water or liquid from getting into any electrical part and causing an electric shock. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners, strong alkaline solutions, flammable or toxic cleaning liquids on any surface. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands, because damp object will stick or adhere to extremely cold surfaces.
Occurrence Runing of refrigerator Refrigerator compressor does not run. Refrigerator runs too much or too long Trouble shooting Before calling for service, review this list.

Wanm food will cause the refrigerator to run longer until the desired temperature is reached. Warm air entering the refrigerator causes it to run longer. Open the door less often. Make sure the refrigerator is level. Keep food and containers from blocking door. See problem section. OPENING/CLOSING of doors. Set the refrigerator control to a warmer setting until the refrigerator temperature is satisfactory. Clean or change gasket. Leaks in the door seal will cause refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain desired temperatures. This is normal. Refrigerator goes on and off to keep the temperature constant.
Occurrence Refrigerator compressor does not run. Temperatures are too cold Temperature in the freezer is too cold but the refrigerator temperature is satisfactory. Temperature in the refrigerator is too cold and the freezer temperature is satisfactory. Food stored in drawers freezes. Meat stored in fresh meat drawer freezes. Temperatures are too warm Temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer are too warm. Temperature in the refrigerator is too warm but the freezer temperature is satisfactory.

Set the freezer or refrigerator control to a colder setting until the freezer or refrigerator temperature is satisfactory. Set the freezer or refrigerator control to a colder setting until the freezer or refrigerator temperature is satisfactory. Wamm air enters the refrigerator/ freezer whenever the door is opened. Open the door less often. Close the door completely. Wait until the refrigerator or freezer has a chance to reach its selected temperature. A refrigerator requires some hours to cool down completely. Set the refrigerator control to a colder setting.
Occurrence Sound and noise Louder sound levels when refrigerator is on. Louder sound levels when compressor comes on. Vibrating or rattling noise. Water/Moisture /ce inside refrigerator Moisture collects on the inside walls of the refrigerator. Water/Moisture /Ice outside refrigerator Moisture forms on the outside of the refrigerator or between doors. Possible cause Today's refrigerators have increased storage capacity and maintain more even temperatures. Refrigerator operates at higher pressures during the start of the ON cycle. Floor is uneven or weak. Refrigerator rocks on the floor when it is moved slightly. Items placed on the top of the refrigerator are vibrating. Dishes are vibrating on the shelves in the refrigerator. Refrigerator is touching wall or cabinets. The weather is hot and humid which increases the rate of frost buildup and intemal sweating. Door is slightly open. Door is opened too often or too long.
