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 45 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 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 Problem Cooling system runs too much. Possible Cause & Solution Refrigerator is replacing an older model. • Modern refrigerators require more operating time but use less energy due to more efficient technology. 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING 47 Problem Possible Cause & Solution 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. • This is normal for food items with a high water content.
TROUBLESHOOTING Craft Ice Problem Possible Cause & Solution Icemaker is not making ice. Refrigerator was recently installed or icemaker recently connected. Icemaker is not making enough ice. In 3 ICE mode, the Craft Ice icemaker produces 1 batch of round ice about every 24 hours. • The icemaker begins producing ice approximately 48 hours after the appliance is initially installed. The first batches of ice may not be round and clear.
TROUBLESHOOTING 49 Problem Icemaker is not making ice Possible Cause & Solution Refrigerator was recently installed or icemaker recently connected. 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. Make sure that the sensor area is clean at all times for proper operation.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Ice is not dispensing. Possible Cause & Solution Unable to hear the sound of ice coming out? • In the control panel, select the modes for cubed ice and crushed ice alternately to dispense the ice. 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING 51 Problem Water is not dispensing. Possible Cause & Solution New installation or water line recently connected. The dispenser panel is locked. • Press and hold the Lock button for three seconds to unlock the control panel and dispenser. The dispenser is not set for water dispensing. • The dispenser can be set for ice or water. Make certain that the control panel is set for the proper operation. Press the Water button on the control panel to dispense water.
TROUBLESHOOTING 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. Water filter has been exhausted. • 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 53 Problem 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. The thermostat control (or refrigerator control on some models) will also click when cycling on and off.
TROUBLESHOOTING Wi-Fi Problem Trouble connecting appliance and smartphone to Wi- Fi network Possible Cause & Solution The password for the Wi-Fi network was entered incorrectly. • Delete your home Wi-Fi network and begin the registration process again. • If you are connecting to an iPhone, the password to connect to the module in the refrigerator is the last 4 characters of the network name, repeated twice. Mobile data for your smartphone is turned on.
