Your refrigerator is equipped with either a Rest Mode or Sabbath
Mode feature, which is designed for the traveler who wishes to
turn off the lights and ice maker. By selecting this feature, the
temperature set points remain unchanged, the ice maker will be
disabled and the interior lights will turn off. For most efficient
refrigerator operation, it is recommended to exit Rest Mode or
Sabbath Mode when it is no longer required.
If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On While
You're Away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. Press REST MODE or SABBATH MODE touch pad.
3. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, shut off water
supply to the ice maker.
4. Empty the ice bin.
5. When you return from vacation, press REST MODE or
SABBATH MODE to return to normal operation.
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Refrigerator Operation
The motor seems to run too much
Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its
high-efficiency compressor and fans. The unit may run even
longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, doors are
opened often, or if the doors have been left open.
The refrigerator is noisy
Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this
reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new
refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below are
listed some normal sounds with an explanation.
There is no audible door open alarm
Has the door been open less than 10 minutes? The door open
alarm will only flash when the door has been open for 10 minutes.
The audible alarm will sound the first time the door is left open for
more than 10 minutes. Subsequent door open alarms will only
flash. You must reset the audible alarm each time. See "Using the
Control(s)."
Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day
ahead of time.
When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff arm
to the OFF (up) position.
(or Refrigerator Control) to OFF. See "Using the Controls."
them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and
mold from building up.
Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice
maker
Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize
performance
Rattling - flow of refrigerant, water line, or from items placed
on top of the refrigerator
Sizzling/Gurgling - water dripping on the heater during
defrost cycle
Popping - contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially
during initial cool-down
Water running - may be heard when water melts during the
defrost cycle and runs into the drain pan
Creaking/Cracking - occurs as ice is being ejected from the
ice maker mold.
