This manual provides installation and operation instructions. Refer to the warranty section for specific details.

Operation Summary

Safety First: Always read and obey all safety messages. Pay attention to DANGER and WARNING labels. Ensure proper electrical connection (grounded 3-prong outlet, no adapters or extension cords). Use two or more people for moving and installation. Ensure proper ventilation by allowing space around the unit.

Installation Steps: Unpack the refrigerator carefully, removing all packaging materials. Door removal may be necessary for tight doorways. Level the refrigerator using the adjustable rollers. Connect the water supply if your model has a water dispenser or ice maker. Install door handles. Follow specific instructions for leveling and door alignment.

Care and Maintenance: Clean the interior and exterior regularly with mild cleaners. Defrosting is automatic. Clean the condenser periodically for efficiency. Prepare for vacations by emptying and cleaning the unit, and propping doors open to prevent odors.

Troubleshooting and error codes

GENERAL OPERATION Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions
Refrigerator will not operate
  • 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" in the User Instructions or User Guide.
  • 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.
Motor seems to run too much 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 energy-efficient. This is normal.
Refrigerator seems noisy The compressor in your new refrigerator regulates temperature more efficiently and uses less energy than older models. During various stages of operation, you may hear normal operating sounds that are unfamiliar. The following noises are normal:
  • Buzzing/Clicking - Heard when the water valve opens and closes to dispense water or fill the ice maker. If the refrigerator is connected to a water line, this is normal. If the refrigerator is not connected to a water line, turn off the ice maker.
  • Cracking/Crashing - Heard when ice is ejected from the ice maker mold.
  • Popping - Heard when the inside walls contract/expand, especially during initial cooldown.
  • Pulsating/Whirring - Heard when the fans/compressor adjust to optimize performance during normal operation.
  • Rattling - Heard when water passes through the water line, or due to the flow of refrigerant. Rattling may also come from items placed on top of the refrigerator.
  • Water running or gurgling - Heard when ice melts during the defrost cycle and water runs into the drain pan.
  • Sizzling - Heard when water drips onto the heater during the defrost cycle.
