NO-FROST REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER Use And Care Guide

If you need service or help,
we suggest you follow
these three steps:
1. Before calling for service...
Performance problems are sometlmes caused by
little things you can correct without tools Before you
call for service, check this list
If your refrigerator will not operate:
l Is the electric cord plugged 1r3
l Is CI fuse blown or a circuit breaker trlpped’
l Is the Temperature Control dlol turned ON’
If your ice maker will not operate:
l Has the freezer had enough time to get cold? With
a new refrigerator, this might take overnight
l Is the signal arm ON
In the 3owr posItIon’
l Is the water valve turned or and s water getting
to the Ice maker’
If there is a rattling or jingling noise, or other
unfamiliar sounds:
l Is something on top or behind the refrigerator mak-
Ing noise when the refrigerator IS running?
l New features on your new refrigerator make new
sounds Yoti may be hearing air flowing from the
fans, timer clicks for the defrosting cycle, defrost
water draining Into the defrost pan If YOU have an
ice maker, you WIII hear water fill the molds and
the ice drop intothe bin
If there is water in the defrost pan:
l In hot, muggy weather, this IT normal The pan carI
even be half full Make sure the refrigerator IS level
so the pan doesn t overflow

naturally runs longer
l If the door has been opened a ot or if a large
amcunt of food has been put In, the ,r~otor ‘~111 run

Remember: Motor ruining time depends on dif
ferent things number of door openings, amount of
food stored. temperature of ‘he room, setting of the
controls
And Lour qew refrigerator may be larger than
your old one so I: has more space to be cooled It
also has a regular freezer Instead of a frozen food
comporiment It provides colder and more LntforT
temperatures for better food storage All this means
better refrigeratlor and may ‘equire [more running
time than your old one
