Try the solutions suggested here first to avoid the cost of an
unnecessary service call.
Your appliance will not operate :
•
Has a household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped?
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
•
Is the freezer defrosting (on some models)?
Recheck to see whether the freezer is operating in 30 minutes. Your
freezer will regularly run an automatic defrost cycle.
There is water in the defrost drain pan (on some models):
•
Is the freezer defrosting?
The water will evaporate. It is normal for water to drip into the defrost pan.
•
Is it more humid than normal?
When it is humid, expect that the water in the defrost pan will take longer
to evaporate.
The motor seems to run too much:
•
Is there excessive frost or a package preventing the door from
closing?
Defrost and clean the freezer, or move the package so the door closes
properly.
•
Is the room temperature hotter than normal?
The motor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room
temperatures, the motor will run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under
warmer conditions, it will run even more.
•
Has a large amount of food just been added to the freezer?
Adding a large amount of food warms the freezer. The motor normally will
run longer to cool the freezer back down.
•
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 (on some models)?
This prevents heat transfer and makes the motor work harder. Clean the
condenser coils.
•
Is the door gasket sealed all the way around?
If not, contact a qualified technician.
Note: If the problem is not due to any of the above, remember that the
compressor on your new appliance will operate longer than your old one
due to its high-efficiency motor.
