Careand Cleaning
Stainless Steel Refrigerator
Cleaning
the outside The stainless steel panels and handles can be
cleaned with a commercially available stainless
steel cleaner such as Stainless Steel MagicT.M
Stainless SteelMagic isavailable at Ace, True
Value, Servistar, HWI and other leading stores.
It is also available through GEParts and
Accessories, 800.626.2002. Order part number
WXIOX15.
Do not use appliance wax or polish
on the stainless steel.
Cleaning
the inside To help prevent odors, leave an open box
of baking soda in the fresh food and freezer
compartments.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
If this is not practical, wring excess moisture
out of sponge or cloth when cleaning around
switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution-
about a tablespoon (15 ml)of baking soda to
a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and
neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe drg.
Use of any cleaning solution other than
that which is recommended, especially those
that contoin petroleum distillates, can crack
or damage the interior of the refrigerator.
Avoid cleaning cold gloss shelves with hot
water because the extreme temperature
difference may cause them to breok. Handle
gloss shelves carefully. Bumping tempered
glass can cause it to shatter.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts
in the dishwasher.
Behind the
refrigerator Be careful when moving the refrigerator awag
from the wall. All types of floor coverings can be
damaged, particularlg cushioned coverings and

and unplug the refrigerator. Clean the interior
with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon
(15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 liter)
of water. Leavethe doors open.
Setthe icemaker power switch to the O{off)
position and shut off the water supplg to
the refrigerator.
If the temperature can drop below freezing,
have a qualified servicer drain the water supply
sgstem to prevent serious propertg damage due
to flooding.
Preparing

The Problem Solver
Stainless Steel Refrigerator
Normal
operating
sounds
Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modern refrigerators have more
features and use newer technology.
Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.
HUIVllVllVl...
--WHOOSH...
The new high efficiencg compressor may run
faster and longer than gour old refrigerator
and gou mag hear a high-pitched hum or
pulsating sound while it is operating.
Sometimes the refrigerator runs for an
extended period, especiullg when the doors
are opened frequentlg. This means that
the Frost Guard"feature is working
to prevent freezer burn and improve
food preservation.
You may hear a whooshing sound when
the doors close.This isdue to pressure
equalizing within the refrigerator.
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKS ond CHIRPS
You may hear cracking or popping sounds
when the refrigerator isfirst plugged in.
This happens as the refrigerator cools
to the correct temperature.
Electronic dampers click open and closed to
provide optimal cooling and energg savings.
The compressor may cause a clicking or
chirping sound when attempting to restart
(this could take up to 5 minutes).
The electronic control board may cause
a clicking sound when relags activate
to control refrigerator components.
Expansion and contraction of cooling coils
during and after defrost can cause a cracking
or popping sound.
After an icemaking cgcle, gou mag hear
the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.
WHIRl
You mag hear the fans spinning at high
speeds. This happens when the refrigerator
is first plugged in,when the doors are opened
frequentlg or when a large amount of food
is added to the refrigerator or freezer
compartments. The fans are helping
to maintain the correct temperatures.
If either door is open for over 3 minutes,
gou mag hear the fans come on in order
to cool the light bulbs.
Thefans change speeds in order to provide
optimal cooling and energg savings.
WATER OUNDS
Theflow of refrigerant through the freezer
cooling coils mag make a gurgling noise like
boiling water.
Water dropping on the defrost heater can
cause a sizzling, popping or buzzing sound
during the defrost cgcle.
A water dripping noise may occur
during the defrost cgcle as ice melts from
the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.
Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound
due to pressure equalization.
