the socket is working.
Reset a tripped circuit breaker. Replace any blown fuses.
NOTE: If problems continue, contact an electrician.
Make sure the controls are turned on. See the "Using the
Controls" section.
Allow 24 hours following installation for refrigerator to cool
completely.
NOTE: Adjusting the temperature controls to the coldest setting
will not cool either compartment more quickly.
If refrigerator is in Demo mode, cooling is turned off and
"Demo" will be illuminated on the control panel. See the "Using
the Controls" section for more information.
Larger, more eficient refrigerators run longer at lower, more
energy eficient speeds.
It is normal for refrigerator to work longer under these
conditions. For optimum performance, place refrigerator in an
indoor, temperature-controlled environment. See the "Location
Requirements" section.
Warm food will cause refrigerator to run longer until the air cools
to the desired temperature.
Warm air entering refrigerator causes it to run more. Open the
door less often.
Make sure refrigerator is level. See the "Refrigerator Levelling
and Door Closing" section. Keep food and containers from
blocking the door.
Adjust refrigerator control to a less-cold setting until the
refrigerator temperature is as desired.
Clean or change the gasket. Leaks in the door seal will
cause refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain desired
temperatures.
