POSSIBLE CAUSE
• Foods not covered, wrapped or sealed properly.
• Temperature control not set cold enough. Refer to Temperature Control section.
• Warm weather—frequent door openings.
• Door left open for too long a time.
• Package holding door open or blocking air duct in freezer compartment.
• During the defrost cycle it is normal for the air temperature in the freezer
to rise a few degrees.
• Door may have been left ajar or package holding door open.
• Too frequent or too long door openings.
• Frost within package is normal.
• Not unusual during periods of high humidity. To help prevent rust, wipe surface dry.
• Too frequent or too long door openings.
• In humid weather, air carries moisture into refrigerator when doors are opened.
• Foods with strong odors should be tightly covered.
• Check for spoiled food.
• Interior needs cleaning. Refer to Care and Cleaning section.
• Defrost water drainage system needs cleaning.
• Keep open box of baking soda in refrigerator; replace every three months.
• Normal air flow cooling motor. In the refrigerator process, it is normal that heat
be expelled in the area under the refrigerator. Some floor coverings will discolor
at these normal and safe operating temperatures. Your floor covering supplier
should be consulted if you object to this discoloration.
• Normal warmth is created by automatic energy saver system circulating warm
liquid around front edge of freezer compartment to help prevent condensation on
outside of refrigerator in hot, humid weather.
• This is normal. The drawers are designed to retain moisture to keep foods fresh.
• Door gasket on hinge side sticking or folding over. To correct, put a small amount
of petroleum jelly on the face of the gasket.
• No power at outlet.
• Light bulb needs replacing. See the Care and Cleaning section.
• If interior light is not on, refrigerator may not be plugged in at wall outlet.
• If plug is secure and the refrigerator still fails to operate, plug a lamp or a small
appliance into the same outlet to determine if there is a tripped circuit breaker
or burned out fuse.
• An orange glow is sometimes seen in the freezer compartment when the
defrost heater is on. This is normal.
