15OPERATIONENGLISHFood Storage TipsWrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check date code to ensure freshness.Food How toButter or MargarineKeep opened butter in covered dish or closed compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze.CheeseStore in original wrapping until used. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.Milk Wipe milk cartons. For coldest milk, place containers on an interior shelf.Eggs Store in original carton on interior shelf, not on door shelf.FruitDo not wash or hull fruit until it is ready to be used. Sort and keep fruit in original container in a crisper, or store in completely closed paper bag on refrigerator shelf.Leafy VegetablesRemove store wrapping, trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas, wash in cold water, and drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper.Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store in crisper.FishFreeze fresh sh and shellsh if they are not being eaten the same day purchased. Eating fresh sh and shellsh the same day purchased is recommended.LeftoversCover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or store in plastic containers with tight lids.Storing Frozen FoodCheck a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook for further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times.FreezingYour freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 pounds of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (how airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.NOTE• Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, and then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.PackagingSuccessful freezing depends on correct packaging. When you close and seal the package, it must not allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and could also dry out frozen food.Packaging recommendations• Rigid plastic containers with tight-tting lids• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars• Heavy-duty aluminum foil• Plastic-coated paper• Non-permeable plastic wraps• Specied freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bagsFollow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.Do not use• Bread wrappers• Non-polyethylene plastic containers• Containers without tight lids• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap• Thin, semi-permeable wrap

32 TROUBLESHOOTINGBefore Calling for ServiceReview this section before calling for service; doing so will save you both time and money.CoolingProblem Possible Cause SolutionsRefrigerator and Freezer section are not cooling.The refrigerator control is set to OFF (some models).Turn the control ON. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for proper temperature settings.Refrigerator is set to Demo Mode.Demo Mode allows the lights and control display to work normally while disabling cooling, to save energy while the refrigerator is on the showroom oor. See the FAQs section of this manual for instructions on how to disable Demo Mode.Refrigerator is in the defrost cycle.During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may rise slightly. Wait 30 minutes and conrm the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has completed.Refrigerator was recently installed.It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature.Refrigerator was recently relocated.If the refrigerator was stored for a long period of time or moved on its side, it is necessary for the refrigerator to stand upright for 24 hours before connecting it to power.Cooling system runs too much.Refrigerator is replacing an older model.Modern refrigerators require more operating time but use less energy due to more efcient technology.Refrigerator was recently plugged in or power restored.The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool completely.The door is opened often or a large amount of food / hot food was added.Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to nd, and close the door as soon as the food is removed. (Refer to the Food Storage Guide.)Doors are not closed completely.Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not shut all the way, the "Doors will not close correctly or pop open" section.Refrigerator is installed in a hot location.The compressor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures (70 °F) expect your compressor to run about 40 % to 80 % of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more often. The refrigerator should not be operated above 110 °F.
33TROUBLESHOOTINGENGLISHCoolingProblem Possible Cause SolutionsInterior moisture buildup.Doors are opened often or for long periods of time.When the doors are opened often or for long periods of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This raises the temperature and moisture level within the compartment. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.Doors are not closed correctly. See the "Doors will not close correctly or pop open" section.Weather is humid.Humid weather allows additional moisture to enter the compartments when the doors are opened leading to condensation or frost. Maintaining a reasonable level of humidity in the home will help to control the amount of moisture that can enter the compartments.Defrost cycle recently completed.During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may rise slightly and condensation may form on the back wall. Wait 30 minutes and conrm that the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has completed.Food is not packaged correctly.Food stored uncovered or unwrapped, and damp containers can lead to moisture accumulation within each compartment. Wipe all containers dry and store food in sealed packaging to prevent condensation and frost.Food is freezing in the refrigerator compartment.Food with high water content was placed near an air vent.Rearrange items with high water content away from air vents.Refrigerator temperature control is set incorrectly.If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Control Panel section for more information.Refrigerator is installed in a cold location.When the refrigerator is operated in temperature below 41°F (5°C), food can freeze in the refrigerator compartment. The refrigerator should not be operated in temperature below 55°F (13°C).Refrigerator or Freezer section is too warm.Refrigerator was recently installed.It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature.The air vents are blocked. Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh food section and back again through air vents in the wall dividing the two sections.Locate air vents by using your hand to sense airow and move all packages that block vents and restrict airow. Rearrange items to allow air to ow throughout the compartment.

35TROUBLESHOOTINGENGLISHIce & WaterProblem Possible Cause SolutionsIcemaker is not making enough ice.Demand exceeds ice storage capacity.The icemaker will produce approximately 70-184 cubes in a 24 hour period.House water supply is not connected, valve is not turned on fully, or valve is clogged.Connect the refrigerator to a cold water supply with adequate pressure and turn the water shutoff valve fully open. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact a plumber.Water lter has been exhausted.Replacing the water lter is recommended:Approximately every six months.When the water lter indicator turns on.When the water dispenser output decreases.When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.Low house water supply pressure.The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi on models without a water lter and between 40 and 120 psi on models with a water lter. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact a plumber.Reverse Osmosis ltration system is used.Reverse osmosis ltration systems can reduce the water pressure below the minimum amount and result in icemaker issues. (Refer to the Connecting the Water Line section.)Tubing connecting refrigerator to house supply valve is kinked.The tubing can kink when the refrigerator is moved during installation or cleaning resulting in reduced water ow. Straighten or repair the water supply line and arrange it to prevent future kinks.Doors are opened often or for long periods of time.If the doors of the unit are opened often, ambient air will warm the refrigerator which will prevent the unit from maintaining the set temperature. Lowering the refrigerator temperature can help, as well as not opening the doors as frequently.Doors are not closed completely.If the doors are not properly closed, ice production will be affected. See the "Doors will not close correctly or pop open" section in Parts & Features Troubleshooting for more information.The temperature setting for the freezer is too warm.The recommended temperature for the freezer compartment for normal ice production is 0°F. If the freezer temperature is warmer, ice production will be affected.Icemaker is not making iceRefrigerator was recently installed or icemaker recently connected.It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature and for the icemaker to begin making ice.Icemaker not turned on. Locate the icemaker ON/OFF and conrm that it is turned on.
36 TROUBLESHOOTINGIce & WaterProblem Possible Cause SolutionsIcemaker is not making iceThe ice detecting sensor is obstructed.Foreign substances or frost on the ice-detecting sensor can interrupt ice production. Make sure that the sensor area is clean at all times for proper operation.The refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the supply shutoff valve is not turned on.Connect the refrigerator to the water supply and turn the water shutoff valve fully open.Icemaker shutoff (arm or sensor) obstructed.If your icemaker is equipped with an ice shutoff arm, make sure that the arm moves freely. If your icemaker is equipped with the electronic ice shutoff sensor, make sure that there is a clear path between the two sensors.Reverse osmosis water ltration system is connected to your cold water supply.Reverse osmosis ltration systems can reduce the water pressure below the minimum amount and result in icemaker issues. (Refer to the Connecting the Water Line section.)Ice has bad taste or odor.Water supply contains minerals such as sulfur.A water lter may need to be installed to eliminate taste and odor problems. NOTE: In some cases, a lter may not help. It may not be possible to remove all minerals/odor/taste in all water supplies.Icemaker was recently installed.Ice that has been stored for too long will shrink, become cloudy, and may develop a stale taste. Throw away old ice and make a new supply.The food has not been stored properly in either compartment.Rewrap the food. Odors may migrate to the ice if food is not wrapped properly.The interior of the refrigerator needs to be cleaned. See the Maintenance section for more information.The ice storage bin needs to be cleaned.Empty and wash the bin (discard old cubes). Make sure that the bin is completely dry before reinstalling it.Icemaker is making too much ice.Icemaker shutoff (arm/ sensor) is obstructed.Empty the ice bin.
