the outlet is properly grounded.
Ensure proper

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly
grounded electrical outlet rated for 115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC only and fused at 15 or 20
amperes. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house
wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off with a switch or pull chain. Do not use
an extension cord.
Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal
responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-
prong wall outlet.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light
bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator Control or Freezer Control,
depending on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from the
electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical
source and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator Control or Freezer Control,
depending on the model) to the desired setting.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly
recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use
an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United
States), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a groundind type
plug and outlet, and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum)
and 120 volts.
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance needed for the back of the
refrigerator.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid any hazard.
