Common Issues and Troubleshooting

  • **Temperature Too Warm**

    Often caused by blocked air vents, improper temperature settings, or adding a large quantity of food at once, leading the refrigerator to run longer to stabilize

  • **Door Not Closing Completely**

    This issue can arise from food packages blocking the door, incorrectly positioned shelves, or dirty gaskets. Ensuring the freezer is stable and properly leveled can also help

  • **Freezer Makes Loud Noises**

    Buzzing or clicking sounds can occur if the freezer has recently been plugged in, following a defrost cycle, or after a power failure. Such noises might also result from placing a large amount of warm food in the freezer

  • **Ice Maker Issues**

    Problems with ice production, such as little or no ice, can be due to the ice maker being newly installed, the temperature being too warm, or issues with the water supply. Ensure the ice maker is properly turned on and connections are secure

  • **Excessive Motor Running**

    This can be due to the door not closing properly, adding too much warm food at once, or insufficient air circulation around the freezer due to dirty condenser coils or improper installation

Maintenance Recommendations

  • 1. **Task**: Clean Condenser Coils

    Frequency: **Frequency**: At least every 6 months

    **Details**: Remove the base grille by taking out the screws and pulling the grille toward you. Use a vacuum with an extended attachment to clean the coils when they are dusty or dirty, then replace the grille and screws.

  • 2. **Task**: Change Light Bulb

    Frequency: **Frequency**: As needed

    **Details**: Unplug the appliance before starting. Remove the light shield, replace the bulb with a 40-watt maximum appliance bulb or suitable LED bulb, and then replace the shield and reconnect power.

  • 3. **Task**: Power Outage Precaution

    Frequency: **Frequency**: During power outages

    **Details**: If the power is out for 24 hours or less, keep the door closed. For outages over 24 hours, remove all frozen food to a locker, consume, or can preserves.

  • Remove all removable parts, such as shelves and bins, from inside the refrigerator and freezer. Wash these parts by hand using warm water and a mild detergent. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.
  • Regularly clean the condenser coils, as this can help save energy. Use a vacuum with a brush attachment to remove dust and lint from the coils. This should be done every two months.

Energy Efficiency Tips

  • Keep freezer shelves organized with similar foods grouped together to reduce door open times and help save energy.
  • Clean the condenser coils regularly, possibly every two months, to ensure efficient operation and save energy.
  • Ensure proper ventilation by keeping at least 1 inch of space between the back of the freezer and the wall.
  • Use the Fast Freeze option sparingly, as it consumes more energy. Activate it only when adding large amounts of unfrozen food.
  • Avoid opening the freezer door frequently; each opening lets in warm air, making the appliance work harder to maintain its temperature.

  • Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not remove the ground prong, use an adapter, or use an extension cord.
  • Use two or more people to move and install the refrigerator to avoid back or other injuries.
