Troubleshooting - Whirlpool ET18NKXFN03 Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

If you choose to turn the refrigerator off before you
leave, follow these steps.
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
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 ice maker
arm to the OFF (up) position.
3. Clean refrigerator, 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.
Moving
When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home,
follow these steps to prepare it for the move.
1. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least
one day ahead of time.
Disconnect the water line from the back of the
refrigerator.
When the last load of ice drops, raise the ice maker
arm to the OFF (up) position.
2. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all
frozen food in dry ice.
3. Turn the Thermostat Control (or Refrigerator Control,
depending on the model) to OFF.
4. Unplug the refrigerator.
5. Empty water from the defrost pan.
6. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.
7. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape
them together so they don't shift and rattle during the
move.
8. Raise the front of the refrigerator so it rolls easier. See
the "Door Closing and Alignment" section.
9. Tape the doors shut and the power cord to the
refrigerator cabinet.
When you get to your new home, put everything back
and refer to the "Installing Your Refrigerator" section for
preparation instructions. Also, if your refrigerator has an
automatic ice maker, remember to reconnect the water
supply to the refrigerator.

There is water in the defrost drain pan
The refrigerator is defrosting.
The water will evaporate. It is normal for water to drip
into the defrost pan.
It is more humid than normal.
Expect that the water in the defrost pan will take longer
to evaporate. This is normal when it is hot or humid.
The motor seems to run too much
The room temperature is hotter than normal.
Expect the motor to run longer under warm conditions.
At normal room temperatures, expect your motor to run
about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions,
expect it to run even more of the time.
