Troubleshooting Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call. The motor seems to run too much Refrigerator will not operate Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its high-efficiency compressor and fans. The unit may run even longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, doors are opened often or if the doors have been left open.
Troubleshooting Air vents blocked? Remove any item from in front of the air vents. Odor transfer from food? Use airtight, moisture proof packaging to store food. Refrigerator not cooling? Turn the unit OFF then ON again to reset. See Setting the Controls (page 4). If the problem is not corrected, call for service. Are there minerals (such as sulfur) in the water? A water filter may need to be installed to remove the minerals.
Troubleshooting The water dispenser will not operate properly Water is leaking from the dispenser Freezer door closed completely? Close the door firmly. If it does not close completely, see The doors will not close completely. NOTE: One or two drops of water after dispensing is normal. Glass not being held under the dispenser long enough?
