Possible Cause Solutions
• Turn the control ON. Refer to the Setting the
Controls section for proper temperature settings.
• During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each
compartment may rise slightly. Wait 30 minutes and
confirm the proper temperature has been restored
once the defrost cycle has completed.
• It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to
reach the desired temperature.
• If the refrigerator was stored for a long period of
time or moved on its side, it is necessary for the
refrigerator to stand upright for 24 hours before
connecting it to power.
• Modern refrigerators require more operating
time but use less energy due to more efficient
technology.
• The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool
completely.
• Adding food and opening the door warms the
refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run longer
in order to cool the refrigerator back down. In order
to conserve energy, try to get everything you need
out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized
so it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as
the food is removed. (Refer to the Food Storage
Guide.)
• Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not shut all
the way, the "Doors will not close correctly or pop
open" section.
• The compressor will run longer under warm
conditions. At normal room temperatures (70 °F)
expect your compressor to run about 40 % to 80 %
of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to
run even more often. The refrigerator should not be
operated above 110 °F.
