Vacation and Moving Care
Vacations
If you choose to leave the convertible refrigerator/freezer
on while you're away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
If you choose to turn the convertible refrigerator/freezer
off before you leave:
1. Remove all food from the convertible refrigerator/freezer.
2. Turn the lower compartment control to OFF. Turn the upper
compartment control to FREEZE. See the "Using the Controls"
section.
3. Clean convertible refrigerator/freezer, wipe it, and dry well.
4. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop
them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold
from building up.
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
Your convertible refrigerator/freezer will not operate
Is the power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong
outlet.
Has a household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped?
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Is the Lower Compartment Control turned to the OFF
position? See the "Using the Controls" section.
Is the convertible refrigerator/freezer defrosting? Recheck to
see if the convertible refrigerator/freezer is operating in
30 minutes. Your convertible refrigerator/freezer will regularly run
an automatic defrost cycle.
The lights do not work
Is the power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong
outlet.
Is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See the
"Changing the Light Bulbs" section.
There is water in the defrost drain pan
Is the convertible refrigerator/freezer 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 the room temperature hotter than normal? The motor will
run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures,
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
convertible refrigerator/freezer? Adding a large amount of
food warms the convertible refrigerator/freezer. The motor
normally will run longer to cool the convertible refrigerator/freezer
back down.
Are the doors opened often? The motor will run longer when
this occurs. Conserve energy by getting all items out at one time,
keeping food organized, and closing the door as soon as
possible.
Moving
When you are moving your convertible refrigerator/freezer to a new
home, follow these steps to prepare it for the move.
1. Remove all food from the convertible refrigerator/freezer and
pack all frozen food in dry ice.
2. Turn the lower compartment control control to OFF. Turn the
upper compartment control to FREEZE. See the "Using the
Controls" section.
3. Unplug convertible refrigerator/freezer.
4. Empty water from the defrost pan.
5. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.
6. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don't shift and rattle during the move.
7. Unlock the casters so that the convertible refrigerator/freezer
rolls easily.
8. If you have not installed the casters, raise the front of the
convertible refrigerator/freezer so it rolls more easily. See the
"Door Closing and Alignment" section.
9. Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the
convertible refrigerator/freezer cabinet.
When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to the
"Installation Instructions" section for preparation instructions.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions?
See the "Using the Controls" section.
Are the doors closed completely? Close the doors firmly. If
they do not close completely, see "The doors will not close
completely" later in this section.
Are the condenser coils dirty? This prevents air transfer and
makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils. See the
"Cleaning" section.
NOTE: Your new convertible refrigerator/freezer will run longer
than your old one due to its high-efficiency motor.
The convertible refrigerator/freezer seems to make too
much noise
The sounds may be normal for your convertible refrigerator/
freezer. See the "Normal Sounds" section.
The upper compartment front liner is warm
The warmth is probably due to normal operation of the automatic
exterior moisture control. Additionally, the convertible refrigerator/
freezer is equipped with a heater to keep the convertible refrigerator/
freezer operating properly when the ambient temperature drops too
low.
Temperature is too warm
Are the air vents blocked in either compartment? This
prevents cold air movement between the compartments. Move
objects away from the air vents. See the "Ensuring Proper Air
Circulation" section for air vent locations.
Are the door(s) opened often? The convertible refrigerator/
freezer will warm when this occurs. Keep the convertible
refrigerator/freezer cool by getting all items out at one time,
keeping food organized, and closing the door as soon as
possible.
Has a large amount of food just been added to the
convertible refrigerator/freezer? Adding a large amount of
food warms the convertible refrigerator/freezer. It can take
several hours for the convertible refrigerator/freezer to return to
the normal temperature.
Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions?
See the "Using the Controls" section.
