PROBLEM SOLVER

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 death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions
Not connected to an electrical supply - Plug the power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
■
Do not use an extension cord.
No power to the electrical outlet - Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is working.
■
Household fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped - Replace the fuse or reset the circuit
■
breaker. If the problem continues, contact a licensed electrician.
Control or cooling is not turned on - Turn on the refrigerator control, or turn cooling on. See "Using
■
the Controls."
New installation - Following installation, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator and freezer to cool
■
completely.
NOTE: Adjusting the temperature control(s) to the coldest setting will not cool either compartment
(refrigerator or freezer) more quickly.
Your new refrigerator has an energy-efficient motor - The refrigerator may run longer than you're
■
used to, because the compressor and fans operate at lower speeds that are more energy­efficient.
This is normal.
NOTE: Your refrigerator may run even longer if the room is warm, a large load of food is added,
the doors are opened often, or if a door has been left open.
