Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Door(s) will not close**
This issue can occur if the door is closed too hard, causing another door to open slightly. It can also be caused by the refrigerator not being level, food or packaging obstructing the door, or if the refrigerator is touching the wall or a cabinet -
**Ice dispenser is jammed**
This can happen when ice cubes melt and refreeze around the auger due to infrequent use, temperature fluctuations, or power outages. Another common cause is ice cubes jamming between the ice maker and the back of the ice bin -
**Water not dispensing**
If the water dispenser isn't working, it might be due to the water filter not being seated properly, a clogged water filter, or the household water line valve not being open. Solutions include reseating or replacing the water filter and ensuring the water line valve is open fully -
**Moisture collects on the inside of the refrigerator**
This is often due to hot and humid weather, which increases the rate of frost buildup and internal sweating. Adjusting the flipper mullion to ensure proper sealing can help manage this issue -
**Refrigerator seems to run too much or too long**
The variable speed compressor in modern refrigerators is designed to run continuously except during defrost cycles. This is normal and ensures efficient cooling, especially after defrost cycles or significant changes in the temperature settings

Energy Efficiency Tips
- **Locate the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room**: Keep it away from direct sunlight and heating sources like ovens or dishwashers to prevent the compressor from running continuously.
- **Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator**: This helps maintain airflow and allows the refrigerator to cool more efficiently, which saves energy.
- **Use the recommended temperature settings**: Set your refrigerator to 37°F and freezer to 0°F for optimal performance and energy efficiency.
- **Regularly check and replace the door gaskets**: Ensure they are sealing properly to prevent cold air from leaking out, which can cause the appliance to use more energy.
- **Activate energy-saving modes**: Utilize features like Chill Boost and Freeze Boost optimally to maintain lower temperatures without overworking the refrigerator.
- **Flammable Refrigerant Risk**: Do not use mechanical devices to defrost the refrigerator and avoid puncturing refrigerant tubing to prevent fire or explosion.
- **Proper Operation**: Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids near this or any other appliance.
- **Electrical Safety**: Plug the refrigerator into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC-only electrical outlet. Avoid using extension cords or adapter plugs.
- **Child Safety**: Immediately destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material after unpacking the refrigerator to prevent suffocation hazards.
