MAINTENANCE
TROUBLESHOOTING 61 TROUBLESHOOTING 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 Before Calling for Service Review this section before calling for service; doing so will save you both time and money. Cooling 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 63 Cooling Problem Food is freezing in the refrigerator compartment. Refrigerator or Freezer section is too warm. 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. Doors are not closed correctly.
TROUBLESHOOTING Cooling/Ice & Water Problem Refrigerator or Freezer section is too warm. 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). 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING 65 Ice & Water Problem Possible Cause Solutions ••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. ••Replacing the water filter is recommended: ••Approximately every six months.
TROUBLESHOOTING Ice & Water Problem Icemaker is not making ice Ice has bad taste or odor. Icemaker is making too much ice. Ice is not dispensing. Possible Cause 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING 67 Ice & Water Problem Solutions Infrequent use of the dispenser. ••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 Ice & Water Problem Water is not dispensing. Dispensing warm water. Possible Cause Solutions 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING 69 Parts & Features Problem Possible Cause Solutions ••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 Noises Problem Possible Cause Solutions 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. ••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.
