SOLUTION
Make sure that the plug is in all the way
Find another outlet. The outlet should NOT be a GFCI
outlet. (A GFCI outlet is the kind with the PUSH and RE-
SET breaker built in, which is common in kitchens and
used only for smaller counter-top appliances).
Check to make sure that the temperature is set cold
enough. This can depend on the environment around
the unit.
Make sure that the door to the refrigerator is closed all
the way
Check the ambient temperature. If it's very warm, this is
normal.
If you recently put very warm food in the refrigerator,
this is normal.
Make sure that the gasket around the door is free of
debris. If the seal is not tight, warm air from the envi-
ronment may seep in, causing it to run longer.
This is also normal after being turned on for the first
time after an extended time
Make sure that the temperature setting is at the desired
selections. See "Using Your Appliance" for more details.
This could be caused by opening the door very often
and letting in warm air frequently.
This can be caused by warm food
It can take at least four hours for your refrigerator to get
to its target temperature setting after being off for an
extended period of time.
This is a normal part of how a refrigerator works and is
nothing to be concerned about.
All of these noises are typical during normal operation
and cycles
The unit may not be level. See the "Leveling The Unit"
section above.
This can be caused by debris in the door gasket prevent-
ing a tight seal. As well, it is a normal occurrence if the
ambient air is humid. This can also occur if the door is
opened very frequently.
Make sure that your door is closing properly.
