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 39 Before Calling for Service Review this section before calling for service; doing so will save you both time and money. Problem Refrigerator is not cooling or has no power. Possible Cause & Solution 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 Problem Interior moisture buildup. Possible Cause & Solution Weather is humid. • Humid weather allows additional moisture to enter the compartments when the doors are opened leading to condensation or frost. Maintaining a reasonable level of humidity in the home will help to control the amount of moisture that can enter the compartments. Defrost cycle recently completed.
TROUBLESHOOTING 41 Problem Unit is installed in a hot location. • The refrigerator should not be operated in temperatures above 110 °F (43 °C). A large amount of food or hot food was added to either compartment. • Adding food warms the compartment requiring the cooling system to run. Allowing hot food to cool to room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator will reduce this effect. Doors are not closed correctly.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Icemaker is not making enough ice. Possible Cause & Solution Doors are not closed completely. • If the doors are not properly closed, ice production will be affected. See the "Doors will not close correctly or pop open" section in Parts & Features Troubleshooting for more information. The temperature setting for the freezer is too warm. • The recommended temperature for the freezer compartment for normal ice production is 0 °F (-18 °C).
TROUBLESHOOTING 43 Problem Ice is not dispensing. Possible Cause & Solution Doors are not closed completely. • Ice will not dispense if any of the refrigerator doors are left open. • Infrequent use of the ice dispenser will cause the cubes to stick together over time, which will prevent them from properly dispensing. Check the ice bin for ice cubes clumping/ sticking together. If they are, break up the ice cubes to allow for proper operation. The delivery chute is clogged with frost or ice fragments.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Water is not dispensing. Possible Cause & Solution Refrigerator or freezer doors are not closed properly. • Water will not dispense if any of the refrigerator doors are left open. Water filter has been recently removed or replaced. • After the water filter is replaced, dispense 2.5 gallons of water (flush for approximately five minutes) to remove trapped air and contaminants from the system. Do not dispense the entire 2.5 gallon amount continuously.
TROUBLESHOOTING 45 Problem 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. • Remove and replace the doors according to the Removing and Replacing Refrigerator Handles and Doors section. Refrigerator is not leveled properly.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Rattling Possible Cause & Solution 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.
