Try setting it to a lower temperature.
The refrigerator does not
work at all or it does not chill
sufficiently.
• Is the Refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat source?
• Is the back of the Refrigerator so close to the wall that air cannot keep circulating?
(Refer to page 10 for the best location.)
• 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?
The food in the refrigerator is
frozen.
• Did you store the food too close to the air vent at the back of the Refrigerator?
Move the food away from the air vent.
• Check that the Refrigerator is level and stable.
You hear sounds.
• 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?
The front corners and
vertical hinged section of
the appliance are hot and
condensation is occurring.
Condensation can occur when you leave the door open for a long time.

• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?
• Did you manually stop the ice making function?
Ice Maker is not producing

the Freezer.
• 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.
