TIPS TO AVOID A SERVICE CALL
You may be able to save a service call by
checking the following possible causes
FIRST:
1. Ensure that the freezer control knob is at
midpoint, not zero.
2. Ensure that the house fuse is not blown
or a circuit breaker is not tripped.
3. Ensure that the service cord plug has not
been removed or loosened from the wall
outlet.
4. Ensure that air circulation in the cabinet
is not blocked by overcrowded shelves
or by paper or other covering on the
shelves.
5. Outside temperatures can affect how
your refrigerator operates. Refer to the
“TEMPERATURE CONTROL” Section of
this manual.
6. A vibrating or rattling noise indicates
your refrigerator may not be leveled
properly.
7. If the doors are opened too frequently
or for too long, temperatures will be
affected.
If you cannot locate the cause of the
trouble, call your authorized service dealer.
When calling for service, always give your
model and serial number.

To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator
compartment:
1. Disconnect the service cord.
