TROUBLESHOOTING 41 Review the Troubleshooting section before calling for service; doing so will save you both time and money. Problem Refrigerator and Freezer section are not cooling. Possible Causes Solutions The refrigerator control is set to OFF (some Turn the control ON. Refer to the Setting the models). Controls section for proper temperature settings. Refrigerator is set to demo mode.
TROUBLESHOOTING ENGLISH Problem Refrigerator or Freezer section is too warm. Interior moisture buildup. Possible Causes Solutions Refrigerator was recently installed. It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature. Air vents are blocked. Rearrange items to allow air to flow throughout the compartment. Refer to the Airflow diagram in the Using Your Refrigerator section. Doors are opened often or for long periods of time.
TROUBLESHOOTING 43 Food is freezing in the refrigerator compartment. Frost or ice crystals form on frozen food (outside of package). Possible Causes Solutions Food with high water content was placed near an air vent. Rearrange items with high water content away from air vents. Refrigerator temperature control is set incorrectly. If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize.
TROUBLESHOOTING ENGLISH Problem Icemaker is not making enough ice (continued). Dispensing water slowly. Possible Causes Solutions Doors are opened often or for long periods of time. If the doors of the unit are opened often, ambient air will warm the refrigerator which will prevent the unit from maintaining the set temperature. Lowering the refrigerator temperature can help, as well as not opening the doors as frequently. Doors are not closed completely.
TROUBLESHOOTING 45 Icemaker is not making ice. Possible Causes Solutions Refrigerator was recently installed or icemaker recently connected. It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature and for the icemaker to begin making ice. Icemaker not turned on. Locate the icemaker on/off switch and confirm that it is in the ON (I) position. The ice detecting sensor is obstructed. Foreign substances or frost on the ice-detecting sensor can interrupt ice production.
TROUBLESHOOTING ENGLISH Problem Ice has bad taste or odor. Possible Causes Water supply contains minerals such as sulfur. Solutions A water filter may need to be installed to eliminate taste and odor problems. NOTE: In some cases, a filter may not help. It may not be possible to remove all minerals / odor / taste in all water supplies. Dispensing warm water. Icemaker was recently installed. Discard the first few batches of ice to avoid discolored or bad tasting ice.
TROUBLESHOOTING Possible Causes Solutions Clicking Normal Operation The defrost control will click when the automatic defrost cycle begins and ends. The thermostat control (or refrigerator control on some models) will also click when cycling on and off. Rattling 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING ENGLISH Problem Doors will not close correctly or pop open. Possible Causes 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 Using Your Refrigerator section for more information.
