Care and Maintenance
Solution
Set refrigerator control. See setting the
controls.
This is normal for a fully automatic
defrosting refrigerator. The defrost
cycle occurs periodically.
Make sure plug is tightly pushed into
outlet.
Call local electric company.
This is normal. Larger, more efficient
units run longer in these conditions.
It is normal for the refrigerator to work
longer under these conditions.
It takes some hours for the refrigerator
to cool down completely.
Warm food will cause the refrigerator to
run longer until the desired temperature
is reached.
Warm air entering the refrigerator
causes it to run longer. Open the door
less often.
Make sure the refrigerator is level.
Keep food and containers from
blocking door. See problem section.
OPENING/CLOSING of doors.
Set the refrigerator control to a
warmer setting until the refrigerator
temperature is satisfactory.
Clean or change gasket. Leaks in the
door seal will cause refrigerator to run
longer in order to maintain desired
temperatures.
