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 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 41 Problem Interior moisture buildup. Possible Cause & Solution Weather is humid. Defrost cycle recently completed. • During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may rise slightly and condensation may form on the back wall. Wait 30 minutes and confirm that the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has completed. Food is not packaged correctly.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Refrigerator or Freezer section is too warm. Possible Cause & Solution 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 43 Problem Icemaker is not making enough ice. Possible Cause & Solution Doors are not closed completely. 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). If the freezer temperature is warmer, ice production will be affected. Icemaker is not making ice Refrigerator was recently installed or icemaker recently connected.
TROUBLESHOOTING 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 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING 45 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. • 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 Problem Doors will not close correctly or pop open. Possible Cause & Solution 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 47 Problem Whooshing Possible Cause & Solution Evaporator fan motor is circulating air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Air is being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan. • Normal Operation Gurgling Refrigerant flowing through the cooling system. • Normal Operation Popping Contraction and expansion of the inside walls due to changes in temperature. • Normal Operation Sizzling Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle.
