Troubleshooting
SOLUTION
• Check that the power plug is properly connected.
• Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct
temperature?
Try setting it to a lower temperature.
• Is the Refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat source?
• Is the back of the Refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping
air from circulating?
• Is the temperature control on the display set to the correct temperature?
Try setting it to a warmer temperature.
• Is the temperature in the room too low?
• Did you store the food with high water content in the coldest part of the
Refrigerator? Try moving those items into the body of the Refrigerator
instead of keeping them in the Cool Select Pantry™.
• Check that the Refrigerator is level and stable.
• Is the back of the Refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping
air from circulating?
• Was anything dropped behind or under the Refrigerator?
• A "ticking" sound is heard from inside the Refrigerator. It is normal and
occurs because various accessories are contracting or expanding
according to the temperature of the Refrigerator interior.
• Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the vertical
hinged section of the Refrigerator to prevent condensation.
• Is the Refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave
the door open for a long time.
• Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the water supply line before
making ice?
• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?
• Did you manually stop the ice making function?
• Is the Freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the Freezer temperature
lower.
• This is normal. The bubbling comes from the Refrigerator coolant liquid
circulating through the Refrigerator.
• Check for spoiled food.
• Foods with strong odors(for example, fi sh) should be tightly covered.
• Clean out your Freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or
suspicious food.
• Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate
freely.
• Allow suffi cient space between the foods stored for effi cient air
circulation.
• Is the Freezer drawer closed properly?
• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?
• Has the water supply line tubing been crushed or kinked?
Make sure the tubing is free and clear of any obstruction.
• Is the water tank frozen because the Refrigerator temperature is too low?
Try selecting a warmer setting on the main display panel.
