Try the solutions suggested here first to avoid the cost of
an unnecessary service call ―
Your appliance will not operate:
● Has a household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped?
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
There is water in the defrost drain pan (on some models):
● Is the appliance defrosting?
The water will evaporate. It is normal for water to drip into the defrost pan.
● Is it more humid than normal?
When it is humid, expect that the water in the defrost pan will take longer
to evaporate.
The motor seems to run too much:
● Is there excessive frost or a package preventing the door from clos-
ing? Defrost and clean the freezer, or move the package so the door
closes properly.
● Is the room temperature hotter than normal?
The motor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room tempera-
tures, your motor will run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer
conditions, it will run even more.
● Has a large amount of food just been added to the appliance?
Adding a large amount of food warms the appliance. The motor normally
will run longer to cool the appliance back down.
● Is the door closed completely?
Push the door firmly shut. If it will not shut all the way, see “The door will
not close completely” later in this section.
● Are the condenser coils dirty (on some models)?
This prevents air transfer and makes the motor work harder. Clean the
condenser coils.
● Is the door gasket sealed all the way around?
If not, contact a qualified technician.
NOTE: If the problem is not due to any of the above, remember that the
compressor on your new appliance will operate longer than your
old one due to its high-efficiency motor.

Keep flammable materials and vapors such as gasoline away from
appliances. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
IMPORTANT: Do not install the appliance near an oven, radiator or
other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall
below 40°F (5°C). Do not place in direct sunlight.
Check the strength of the floor before installing your appliance. It
should hold the weight of a fully loaded appliance. Allow at least 1” (2.5
cm) of airspace at the top and on both sides of the appliance and 1” (2.5
cm) between the back of the appliance and the wall. If the appliance is
going to be placed beside a wall, leave extra space on the hinge side so
the door can open wider than its width.
NOTE: This appliance may be installed side by side with another
appliance or appliances. IF YOUR MODEL HAS THE LETTERS “BI” IN
THE SUFFIX, IT IS DESIGNED FOR BUILT-IN USE, AND DOES NOT
REQUIRE CLEAR-ANCE, EXCEPT IN THE BACK.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in electrical shock, fire
or death.
Recommended grounding method
A 115 Volt AC-only, 60 Hz grounded electrical supply with 15-
or 20- amp fuse or circuit breaker is required. It is recommended
that a separate circuit serving only your appliance be provided.
Use outlets that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Leveling your appliance, cont’d
5. Repeat Step 4 until appliance is level.
6. After appliance is fully loaded, recheck with level as in Step 4.
7. If your appliance is equipped with casters, the two front casters have brakes
to prevent rolling. Keep brakes locked, and unlock for moving only.
