
EnergySavingTips
Themoreairflowyoucanprovidearoundanappliance,thelessenergyitwill
use.
Ifyourapplianceneedsdefrosting,keepicebuild‐uptolessthan1/2inch.
Keepdoorsordrawersopenaminimumoftime,andshutsecurely.

LevelingYourAppliance
1. Locatethetwofrontlevelinglegstapedamongthepackingmaterials.Inmostmodels
theselegsarealreadymountedintotheundersideoftheappliance.
2. Screwtheselegsintothefrontholesonthebottomoftheappliance.Thebackofthe
appliancerestsontwofixedsupports.(Built‐inmodelsalsohaverearlevellegsthatcan
providemorepreciseleveling).
3. Adjustthefrontlegsjustenoughtoliftthecabinetupoffofthefloor.
4. Placealevelingtoolontopoftheappliance:firstsidetoside,thenfronttoback.Turnleg
counterclockwisetoraiseacorner.Turnlegclockwisetoloweracorner.
5. RepeatStep4untilapplianceislevel.
6. Afterapplianceisfullyloaded,recheckwithlevelasinStep4.
7. Ifyourapplianceisequippedwithcasters,thetwofrontcastershavebrakestoprevent

Troubleshooting
Trythesolutionssuggestedherefirsttoavoidthecostofanunnecessaryservicecall...

Yourrefrigeratororfreezerwillnotoperate:
Hasahouseholdfuseblownorcircuitbreakertripped,oristheoutletnotreceiving
powerorswitchcontrolled?
Replacethefuseorresetthecircuitbreaker.Checktheoutletwithasmall
applianceyouknowworks.
Istherefrigeratororfreezerdefrosting(onsomemodels)?
Rechecktoseewhethertheapplianceisoperatinginafewhours.Itmay
regularlyrunanautomaticdefrostcycle.

Thereiswaterinthedefrostdrainpan(onsomemodels):
Istheappliancedefrosting?
Thewaterwillevaporate.Itisnormalforwatertodripintothedefrostpan.
Isitmorehumidthannormal?
Whenitishumid,expectthatthewaterinthedefrostpanwilltakelongerto
evaporate.

Themotorseemstoruntoomuch:
Isthereexcessivefrostorapackagepreventingthedoorfromclosing?

14|Page

Defrostandcleantheappliance,ormovethepackagesothedoorcloses
properly.
Istheroomtemperaturehotterthannormal?
Themotorwillrunlongerunderwarmconditions.Atnormalroom
temperatures,yourmotorwillrunabout40%to80%ofthetime.Under
warmerconditions,itwillrunevenmore.
Hasalargeamountoffoodjustbeenaddedtotheappliance?
Addingalargeamountoffoodwarmstherefrigeratororfreezer.Themotor
normallywillrunlongertocooltheappliancebackdown.
Isthedoorclosedcompletely?
Pushthedoorfirmlyshut.Ifitwillnotshutalltheway,see“Thedoorwillnot
closecompletely”laterinthissection.
Arethecondensercoilsdirty(onsomemodels)?
Thispreventsairtransferandmakesthemotorworkharder.Cleanthe
condensercoils.
Isthedoorgasketsealedallthewayaround?
Contactaqualifiedtechnician.

NOTE:Iftheproblemisnotduetoanyoftheabove,rememberthatthe
compressoronyournewappliancewilloperatelongerthanyouroldoneduetoits
high‐efficiencymotor.

Theinteriortemperatureistoowarm:
Aretheairventsblocked?
Thispreventscoldairmovement.Moveobjectsawayfromtheairvents.See
“EnsuringProperAirCirculation”forairventlocations.
Isthedooropenedoften?
Beawarethattherefrigeratororfreezerwillwarmwhenthisoccurs.Inorderto
keeptheappliancecool,trytogeteverythingyouneedoutofitatonce,keep
foodorganizedsoitiseasytofind,andclosethedoorassoonasthefoodis
removed.
Hasalargeamountoffoodjustbeenadded?
Addingalargeamountoffoodwarmstherefrigeratororfreezer.Itcantake
severalhourstoreturntothenormaltemperature.

Thedoorwillnotclosecompletelyorisdifficulttoopen:
Arefoodpackagesblockingthedoor?
Rearrangecontainerssothattheyfitmoretightlyandtakeuplessspace.
Aretheshelvesandbasketoutofposition(onsomemodels)?
Puttheshelvesandbasketbackintotheircorrectpositions.
