TROUBLESHOOTING 39 TROUBLESHOOTING 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 Before Calling for Service Review this section before calling for service; doing so will save you both time and money. Cooling Problem Refrigerator is not cooling or has no power. Possible Cause & Solution A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped. Or the appliance is connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet, and the outlet's circuit breaker has tripped. • Check the main electrical box and replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
TROUBLESHOOTING 41 Problem Cooling system runs too much. Possible Cause & Solution Refrigerator is replacing an older model. Refrigerator was recently plugged in or power restored. • The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool completely. The door is opened often or a large amount of food / hot food was added. • Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible Cause & Solution Refrigerator or Freezer section is too cold. Incorrect temperature control settings. Frost or ice crystals form on frozen food (inside of sealed package). Condensation from food with a high water content has frozen inside of the food package. • If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Control Panel for more information.
TROUBLESHOOTING 43 Ice Problem Demand exceeds ice production capacity. • Refer to the Automatic Icemaker section for ice production capacity to check the amount of ice produced 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. Water filter has been exhausted.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Icemaker is not making ice Possible Cause & Solution 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 is not turned on. • Locate the icemaker ON/OFF and confirm that it is turned on. The ice detecting sensor is obstructed. • Foreign substances or frost on the ice-detecting sensor can interrupt ice production.
TROUBLESHOOTING 45 Problem Ice is not dispensing. Possible Cause & Solution Unable to hear the sound of ice coming out? Doors are not closed completely. • Ice will not dispense if any of the refrigerator doors are left open. 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Water is not dispensing. Possible Cause & Solution New installation or water line recently connected. • Dispense 2.5 gallons of water (flush for approximately 5 minutes) to remove trapped air and contaminants from the system. Do not dispense the entire 2.5 gallon amount continuously. Depress and release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF. The dispenser panel is locked.
TROUBLESHOOTING 47 Problem Water has bad taste or odor. Possible Cause & Solution Water supply contains minerals such as sulfur. • A water filter may need to be installed to eliminate taste and odor problems. • Replacing the water filter is recommended: - Approximately every six months. - When the water filter indicator turns on. - When the water dispenser output decreases. - When the ice cubes are smaller than normal. Refrigerator was recently installed. • Dispense 2.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem The interior of the refrigerator is covered with dust or soot. Possible Cause & Solution The refrigerator is located near a fire source, such as a fireplace, chimney, or candle. • Make sure that the refrigerator is not located near a fire source, such as a fireplace, chimney or candle. Noises Problem Clicking Possible Cause & Solution The defrost control will click when the automatic defrost cycle begins and ends.
