The lights do not work

Is the power supply cord firmly plugged into a live circuit with proper voltage? Has a household fuse or circuit breaker blown/tripped? Is a bulb burned out?

The optional ice maker does not work

Is the freezer cold enough to make ice? It could take overnight for the freezer to reach the proper temperature. Is the ON/OFF lever in the ON (down) position? (See page 10.) Is the water valve turned on? Does the water line have a clog or leak?

Unfamiliar sounds or a rattling/ jingling noise There is water in the defrost pan The motor seems to run too much

Is something on top of or behind the refrigerator? Some new sounds are normal. See �Understanding the sounds you may hear� on page 14. This is normal on hot, muggy days. Make sure the refrigerator is level so the pan does not overflow. Are the condenser coils dirty? Has the door been opened often? Has a large amount of food been added at one time? The motor naturally runs longer if these things happen. Is the room hot? If the room is too warm, the motor runs longer to keep the unit cool.
