Your Refrigerator will not operate
•

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
•
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit
breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit.
•
Is the Refrigerator Control turned to the OFF
position? See "Using the Control".
The motor seems to run too much
•
Is the temperature outside hotter than normal?
Expect the motor to run longer under warm conditions.
At normal outdoor 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.
•
Has a large amount of food just been added to the
Refrigerator? Adding a large amount of food warms the
Refrigerator. It is normal for the motor to run longer in
order to cool the Refrigerator back down.
•
Is the door opened often? Expect the motor to run
longer when this occurs. 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.
•
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See "Using the Control".
•
Is the door closed completely? Push the door firmly
shut. If it will not shut all the way, see "The door will not
close completely" later in this section.
•
Are the condenser coils dirty? This obstructs air
transfer and makes the motor work harder. Clean the
condenser coils. See "Cleaning".
Temperature is too warm
•
Is the door opened often? Be aware that the
Refrigerator will warm when this occurs. In order to keep
the Refrigerator cool, 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.
•
Has a large amount of food just been added to the
Refrigerator? Adding a large amount of food warms the
Refrigerator. It can take several hours for the refrigerator
to return to the normal temperature.

not install the Refrigerator behind a cabinet door or block
the base grille.
The door is diffi cult to open
•
Is the gasket dirty or sticky? Clean the gasket and the
surface that it touches. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on
the gasket following cleaning.
The door will not close completely
•

Rearrange containers so that they fit more tightly and
take up less space.

into their correct positions. See "Refrigerator Use" for
more information.
•
Is the gasket sticking? Clean the gasket and the surface
that it touches. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the
gasket following cleaning.
There is interior moisture buildup
•
Is the door opened often? To avoid humidity buildup,
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. When the door
is opened, humidity from the room air enters the
Refrigerator. The more often the door is opened, the
faster humidity builds up, especially when the room itself
is very humid.
•
Is it humid? It is normal for moisture to build up inside
the Refrigerator when the air is humid.
•
Is the food packaged correctly? Check that all food is
securely wrapped. Wipe off damp food containers before
placing in the Refrigerator.
