INSTALLATION Unpacking the Refrigerator WARNING Choosing the Proper Location Water ••Use two or more people to move and install the refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back injury or other injury. Water supply must be easily connected for the automatic icemaker. ••The refrigerator is heavy. Protect the floor when moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it.
INSTALLATION 15 Dimensions and Clearances ••Check the dimensions of the appliance and the installation path to ensure there is sufficient room to move the refrigerator through doors or narrow openings. ••The installation location chosen for the refrigerator should allow space behind the unit for connections and airflow and space in front to open the doors and drawers. ••Too small of a distance from adjacent items may result in lowered freezing capability and increased electricity consumption charges.
INSTALLATION Removing/Assembling Handles ••When moving the refrigerator through a narrow opening, removing the doors is preferred. ••The appearance of the handles may vary from what is shown. Removing the Refrigerator Handles 1 Loosen the set screws (1) with a 3/32 in.

TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions Q: What are the best temperature settings for my refrigerator and freezer? A: The default setting for the refrigerator is 37° Fahrenheit (3° Celsius). The default setting for the freezer is 0° Fahrenheit (-18° Celsius). Adjust these settings as necessary to keep food at desired temperatures. Milk should be cold when stored on the inner shelf of the refrigerator. Ice cream should be firm and ice cubes should not melt in the freezer.
TROUBLESHOOTING 43 Before Calling for Service Review this section before calling for service; doing so will save you both time and money. Problem Refrigerator and Freezer section are not cooling. Cooling system runs too much. Possible Cause Solutions The refrigerator control is set to OFF (some models). ••Turn the control ON. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for proper temperature settings. Refrigerator is set to Demo Mode.
TROUBLESHOOTING Cooling Problem Interior moisture buildup. Food is freezing in the refrigerator compartment. Refrigerator or Freezer section is too warm. Possible Cause Solutions Doors are opened often or for long periods of time. ••When the doors are opened often or for long periods of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This raises the temperature and moisture level within the compartment. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.
TROUBLESHOOTING 45 Cooling/Ice & Water Problem Refrigerator or Freezer section is too cold. Frost or ice crystals form on frozen food (inside of sealed package). Frost or ice crystals form on frozen food (outside of package). Solutions Doors are opened often or for long periods of time. ••When the doors are opened often or for long periods of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This raises the temperature and moisture level within the compartment.
TROUBLESHOOTING Ice & Water Problem Possible Cause Solutions Demand exceeds ice storage capacity. ••The icemaker will produce approximately 70-184 cubes in a 24 hour period. House water supply is not connected, valve is not turned on fully, or valve is clogged. ••Connect the refrigerator to a cold water supply with adequate pressure and turn the water shutoff valve fully open. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact a plumber.
TROUBLESHOOTING 47 Ice & Water Problem Ice has bad taste or odor. Icemaker is making too much ice. Solutions The ice detecting sensor is obstructed. ••Foreign substances or frost on the ice-detecting sensor can interrupt ice production. Make sure that the sensor area is clean at all times for proper operation. The refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the supply shutoff valve is not turned on. ••Connect the refrigerator to the water supply and turn the water shutoff valve fully open.
TROUBLESHOOTING Parts & Features Problem Possible Cause Solutions Food packages are blocking the door open. ••Rearrange food containers to clear the door and door shelves. Ice bin, crisper cover, pans, shelves, door bins, or baskets are out of position. ••Push bins all the way in and put crisper cover, pans, shelves and baskets into their correct positions. See the Operation section for more information. The doors were removed during product installation and not properly replaced.
TROUBLESHOOTING 49 Noises Problem Possible Cause Solutions ••Normal Operation Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line on the back of the unit, or items stored on top of or around the refrigerator. ••Normal Operation Refrigerator is not resting solidly on the floor. ••Floor is weak or uneven or leveling legs need to be adjusted. See the Leveling and Door Alignment section. Refrigerator with linear compressor was jarred while running.
