OPERATING SOUNDS Improvements in refrigeration design may produce sounds in your new refrigerator that are different or were not present in an older model. These improvements were made to create a refrigerator that is better at preserving food, is more energy efficient, and is quieter overall. Because new units run quieter, sounds may be detected that were present in older units, but were masked by higher sound levels. Many of these sounds are normal.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO Freezer control and lights are on, but compressor is not operating Refrigerator is in defrost mode. Normal operation. Wait 40 minutes to see if refrigerator restarts. Temperaturecontrolled drawers are too warm Control settings are too low. Freezer controls are set too low. Drawer is improperly positioned. Refrigerator is not plugged in. Touch temperature controls are set to “–”. Fuse is blown, or circuit breaker needs to be reset.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO Water droplets form on outside of refrigerator Door gaskets are not sealing properly. Humidity levels are high. Controls require adjustment. Humidity levels are high or door has been been opened frequently. Clean according to the chart on page 26. Normal during times of high humidity. See pages 10,11 and 12 to adjust controls.
