TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
THE DOORS ARE DIFFICULT TO OPEN
Check if... Then.
The gaskets are dirty or sticky. Clean gaskets and the surfaces that they touch. Rub a thin
coat of paraffin wax on the gaskets following cleaning.
The door is reopened within a short time after having
been opened.
When you open the door, warmer air enters the refrigerator.
As the warm air cools, it can create a vacuum. If the door is
hard to open, wait 5 minutes to allow the air pressure to
equalize, then see if it opens more easily.
AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER DOES NOT WORK (Icemaker On Some Models)
Check if... Then.
Icemaker power switch in the 0 (off) position. Move the switch to the I (on) position.
Water supply turned off or not connected. See the CONNECTING THE WATER LINE section.
Freezer compartment too warm. Wait 24 hours for the freezer to reach its ideal temperature.
Piled up cubes in the storage bin cause the icemaker
to shut off.
Level cubes by hand.
TEMPERATURE IS TOO WARM ORTHERE IS INTERIOR MOISTURE BUILDUP
Check if... Then...
The air vents are blocked. Cold air circulates
from the freezer to the fresh food section and
back again through air vents in the wall dividing
the two sections.
Locate air vents by using your hand to sense airflow and
move all packages that block vents and restrict airflow. Refer
To ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION
for the location of air vents.
The doors are opened often. When the door is opened, warm humid air is allowed into
the refrigerator. The more the door is opened, the faster the
humidity builds up, and the more warm air the refrigerator
must cool. In order to keep the refrigerator cool, try to get
everything you need out of the refrigerator at once; also,
keep food organized so it is easy to find and close the door
as soon as the food is removed.
The control is not set correctly for the surrounding
conditions. Refer to the SETTING THE CONTROLS section.
Wait 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize or even out. If the
temperature is too cold or too warm, move the dial one
number at a time.
A large amount of food has just been added
to the refrigerator or freezer. Adding food warms the refrigerator. It can take a few hours
for the refrigerator to return to normal temperature.
The food is not packaged correctly. Wrap food tightly and wipe off damp containers prior to
storing in the refrigerator to avoid moisture accumulation. If
necessary, repackage food according to the guidelines in the
FOOD STORAGE GUIDE section.
The doors are not closing completely. See “Doors will not close completely”.
The weather is humid. In humid weather, air carries moisture into refrigerator
when doors are opened.
A self-defrost cycle was completed. It is normal for droplets to form on the back wall after the
refrigerator self-defrosts.
