TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Check if… COMPRESSOR MOTOR SEEMS TO RUN TOO MUCH Then… The refrigerator that was replaced was an older model. The room temperature is hotter than normal. The door is opened often or a large amount of food has just been added. The refrigerator was recently plugged in and the refrigerator control was set correctly. The refrigerator control is not set correctly for the surrounding conditions. The doors are not closed completely. The condenser coils are dirty.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Check if… ICE HAS OFFTASTE OR ODOR Then… The icemaker was recently installed. The interior of refrigerator needs cleaning. Ice storage bin needs cleaning. Discard first few batches of ice to avoid discolored or off-flavored ice. Throw away old ice and make new supply. Rewrap foods since odors may migrate to the ice if food is not wrapped properly. A filter may need to be installed (or replaced) to eliminate taste and odor problems. See Care and Cleaning section on pages 26–27.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Check if… TEMPERATURE IS TOO WARM OR THERE IS INTERIOR MOISTURE BUILDUP Then… 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. 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 weather is humid.
