of time.
Disconnect the water line from the back of the refrigerator.

PROBLEM SOLVER

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions
Not connected to an electrical supply - Plug the power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not use an
extension cord.
No power to the electrical outlet - Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is working.
Household fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped - Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the
problem continues, contact a licensed electrician.
Control or cooling is not turned on - Turn on the refrigerator control, or turn cooling on. See "Using the
Controls."
New installation - Following installation, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator and freezer to cool completely.
NOTE: Adjusting the temperature control(s) to the coldest setting will not cool either compartment (refrigerator
or freezer) more quickly.
Your new refrigerator has an energy-efficient motor - The refrigerator may run longer than you're used to,
because the compressor and fans operate at lower speeds that are more energy­efficient. This is normal.
NOTE: Your refrigerator may run even longer if the room is warm, a large load of food is added, the doors are
opened often, or if a door has been left open.
4. Depending on the model, turn the Refrigerator Control to OFF or turn
cooling off. See "Using the Controls" in the User Instructions, User
Guide, or Use & Care Guide.
5. Unplug refrigerator.
6. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.
7. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them together
so they don't shift and rattle during the move.
8. Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator so it rolls
more easily OR screw in the leveling legs so they don't scrape the floor.
See "Adjust the Doors" or "Door Removal, Leveling and Alignment."
9. Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the back of the
refrigerator.
When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to the
Installation Instructions for preparation instructions. Also, if your
refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, remember to reconnect the water
supply to the refrigerator.
