Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Refrigerator Does Not Run**
This could be due to the refrigerator not being plugged in properly, a blown fuse, or being in a defrost cycle. Ensure the plug is securely connected to an electrical outlet, check and replace any blown fuses, and wait 20 minutes if it may be in a defrost cycle. -
**Freezer Temperature is Colder Than Preferred**
If the freezer temperature is too cold, but the refrigerator temperature is satisfactory, you may need to set the auxiliary freezer control to a warmer setting and allow 24 hours for it to stabilize. -
**Refrigerator is Noisy or Vibrates**
Common causes include the refrigerator not being level, a weak floor, or the normal sounds created by modern, high-efficiency compressors. Ensure the refrigerator is level and the floor is stable. -
**Odors in the Refrigerator**
Typically caused by spills or uncovered foods that produce strong odors. Cleaning the interior of the refrigerator and ensuring foods are covered or wrapped can resolve this issue. -
**Cabinet Light is Not Working**
Possible reasons include the LED light needing replacement, the plug being loose, or the light switch being stuck. Check the plug, push in the light switch to release it, and replace the LED light if needed

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Ensure proper air circulation by keeping the refrigerator and freezer vents unblocked by food items. This helps maintain an efficient temperature throughout the compartments.
- Install the refrigerator away from direct sunlight, dishwashers, and other heat sources to minimize the compressor's workload.
- Keep the doors sealed tightly by ensuring the refrigerator is level and the sides tilt slightly from front to back. This ensures the doors close and seal properly, preventing cold air from escaping.
- Adjust the temperature gradually and allow the refrigerator to stabilize after each change. Maintaining the recommended settings helps ensure the compressor operates efficiently.
- Clean the condenser coils regularly to ensure the refrigerator operates efficiently. Dust and dirt buildup can cause the refrigerator to use more energy to maintain cool temperatures.
- **Electrical Safety**: Plug the unit into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz, 15 Amp, AC-only electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug. If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by an authorized service technician to prevent any risk.
- **Child Safety**: Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after you unpack the refrigerator to prevent children from using these items to play, which can cause suffocation.
- **Proper Disposal**: When disposing of an old refrigerator, remove the doors and leave the shelves in place to prevent children from climbing inside and becoming trapped.
- **Fire Hazard**: The refrigerator uses a flammable refrigerant. Do not use mechanical devices to defrost the refrigerator or puncture the refrigerant tubing. Repairs should be carried out only by trained service personnel.
- **Moving and Installation**: Avoid moving the refrigerator side to side to prevent floor damage. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it for cleaning or service.
