Troubleshooting and error codes

Problem	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." New installation - Following installation, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator and freezer to cool completely. Refrigerator control is in Showroom mode (on some models)- If the refrigerator is in Showroom mode, cooling is turned off and "Showroom" will be illuminated on the control panel. See "Using the Control(s)" for more information.
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.
Lights do not work	Your refrigerator has been equipped with LED lighting which does not need to be replaced. The dispenser light is set to OFF - On some models, the dispenser light will operate only when the dispenser paddle is pressed. Doors have been open longer than 10 minutes - Close the doors and drawers to reset, and open to resume lighted task.
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, Repetitive Clicking, Cracking/Clatter, Popping, Hissing/Dripping, Pulsating/Whirring, Rattling, Water running or gurgling, Sizzling, Vibration.
Temperature is too warm	New installation - Following installation, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator and freezer to cool completely. Cooling is turned off - Turn on cooling. See "Using the Control(s)." Doors are opened often or not closed completely - This allows warm air to enter the refrigerator. Minimize door openings, keep the doors fully closed, and make sure both doors are properly sealed. Air vents are blocked - Remove items that are immediately in front of the vents. Large amount of warm food recently added - Allow several hours for the refrigerator to return to its normal temperature. Controls are not set correctly for the surrounding conditions - Adjust the controls to a colder setting. Check the temperature again in 24 hours.
