Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Refrigerator or Freezer Not Cooling**
This could be due to the refrigerator being set to OFF, being in Demo Mode, or just coming out of a defrost cycle. Ensure the controls are set correctly and wait for the defrost cycle to complete -
**Icemaker Not Making or Dispensing Ice**
Common causes include the icemaker being turned off, the shutoff arm being obstructed, or the water supply line being disconnected or kinked. Ensure the icemaker is on, check the arm and sensor, and ensure a proper water connection -
**Interior Moisture Buildup**
Often caused by frequent or prolonged opening of doors, high humidity, recent completion of a defrost cycle, or improperly packaged food. Limit door openings, maintain indoor humidity, and ensure food is properly packaged to prevent excess moisture and frost -
**Water or Ice Dispenser Issues**
If water or ice is not dispensing, it may be due to a new installation, the dispenser panel being locked, or an exhausted water filter. Verify that the dispenser control is set correctly, unlock the control panel, and replace the water filter if necessary -
**Doors Not Closing Properly**
This can result from food packages blocking the door, misaligned baskets or shelves, improperly replaced doors after installation, or a refrigerator that is not leveled correctly. Rearrange items, ensure all components are seated properly, and check the refrigerator's leveling to resolve door closing issues
Maintenance Recommendations
-
1. **Clean Condenser Coils
Frequency: Annually
Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush or crevice attachment to clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not remove the panel covering the condenser coil area.** -
2. **Replace Fresh Air Filter
Frequency: Every 6 months
Rotate the filter cover counterclockwise to release the tabs and remove the cover. Replace the filter inside the cover with the side labeled "FRONT" facing outward. Align the tabs on the filter cover with the hooks on the refrigerator wall, rotate clockwise until the cover locks in place, and reset the filter sensor by pressing and holding the Fresh Air Filter button for 3 seconds. Use replacement air filter LT120F.** -
3. **Replace Water Filter
Frequency: Every 6 months or if water dispenser output decreases
Remove the top shelf if necessary, pinch the sides to open the water filter cover, pull the water filter downward and turn it counterclockwise before removing from the manifold hole. Insert a new water filter and turn it clockwise until it stops. Close the cover and dispense 2.5 gallons of water to remove trapped air from the system. Reset the filter indicator by pressing and holding the Water Filter button for 3 seconds. Use replacement cartridge: LT1000P, LT1000PC, or LT1000PCS.** -
4. **Clean Interior and Exterior
Frequency: Monthly
Use a clean sponge or soft cloth with mild detergent in warm water. For tougher stains, use a mixture of baking soda and warm water (2 tablespoons of baking soda per quart of water). Clean interior surfaces, door liners, and gaskets.** -
5. **Clean Door Gaskets
Frequency: Monthly
Use a clean sponge or soft cloth with mild detergent in warm water, and then apply a thin coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax after cleaning.** -
6. **Wax Painted Metal Surfaces
Frequency: Twice a year
Use appliance wax or auto paste wax on painted metal surfaces. Do not wax plastic parts.** -
7. **Check Water Dispenser and Ice Maker Connections
Frequency: As Needed
Inspect water lines for any kinks or damage and ensure the refrigerator is properly connected to the water supply with the shutoff valve turned fully open.** -
8. **Check Door Seals
Frequency: As Needed
Ensure door seals are clean and free of debris to maintain a proper seal and prevent air leaks.** -
9. **Inspect and Clean Ice Storage Bin
Frequency: Monthly
Empty, wash, and dry the ice storage bin to prevent odor and maintain ice quality.** -
10. **Temperature Checks and Adjustments
Frequency: As Needed
Ensure the refrigerator and freezer temperatures are set to the correct levels (Default: Refrigerator 37°F, Freezer 0°F). Adjust as necessary and check for proper cooling performance.**
- Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power before cleaning. This ensures safety and prevents electrical hazards.
- Clean the interior surfaces using a sponge or soft cloth and mild detergent in warm water. Avoid using abrasive or harsh cleaners.
- For the exterior, wax painted metal surfaces at least twice a year using appliance wax or auto paste wax to prevent rust. Do not wax plastic parts.
- Clean the door gaskets and liners with a sponge or soft cloth and mild detergent in warm water. Avoid using cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleaners containing petroleum.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- **Regularly Clean the Condenser Coils**: Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to clean the condenser cover and vents. This helps the refrigerator run efficiently.
- **Keep the Doors Closed**: Open the refrigerator doors less frequently and for shorter periods. This reduces the amount of warm, humid air entering, which makes the compressor run less often.
- **Set Suitable Temperatures**: Keep the refrigerator temperature at 37°F (3°C) and the freezer at 0°F (-18°C). This ensures efficient cooling without overworking the appliance.
- **Store Food Properly**: Wrap or store food in airtight and moisture-proof materials to prevent the refrigerator from working harder to maintain cooling.
- **Use Smart Features**: Utilize the Smart Grid function to reduce energy usage during peak times. Register with your utility company to activate features like Delay Appliance Load (DAL) and Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (TALR) that help manage energy usage.
- Do not operate the refrigerator or touch the power cord with wet hands to avoid electric shock.
- Connect the refrigerator only to a properly grounded outlet. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug to avoid fire hazards and electric shock.
- Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from the refrigerator to avoid risks of fire and explosion.
- Avoid using mechanical devices or tools that are not recommended by the manufacturer to accelerate the defrosting process, as this can cause damage or injury.
- Unplug the refrigerator immediately if there is a strange noise, odor, or smoke, and contact an authorized service center to prevent potential hazards or injuries.
