TROUBLESHOOTING AND DIAGNOSIS

HEAVY WARM LOAD

The amount of warm food placed in the refrigera-

tor affects running time and power consumption.

Ordinarily, when a supply of food is placed in a

refrigerator, it will operate continuously until the

food is down to the desired storage temperature.

This continuous operation is normal. In high am-

bient room temperatures, an excessive warm load

may cause overload cycles.

EXCESSIVE DOOR OPENING

The length of time the door is left open and the

number of times the door is opened should be

held to a minimum. Excessive door opening will

greatly increase running time, power consump-

tion and frost buildup.

IMPROPER PACKAGING

Uncovered foods and improper packaging mate-

rials and methods cause food to dry out. This

reduces the flavor of foods and results in an ex-

cessive frost buildup. Refer the customer to the

Owner’s guide that came with the refrigerator.

GENERAL

WARM ROOM

1. A warm room or other large source of heat

(such as a range, heater, hot air duct, sunny

window) can affect the performance of the re-

frigerator. If the room ambient temperature

exceeds 100°F, running time will approach

100%.

2. At temperatures approaching 120°F, the re-

frigerator may cycle on the overload.

3. In general, the warmer the room, the greater

the running time and power consumption.

EXTERIOR SWEATING

Refrigerators are designed to prevent “runoff”

moisture at ambient room temperatures of 90°F

and relative humidity of 90%. There may be a

thin film of moisture on some areas at a lower

temperature and relative humidity. This is within

design specifications and is not a fault of con-

struction.

Relocating the refrigerator in a less humid and

better ventilated area will normally eliminate most

moisture problems.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

Disconnect the electrical power before performing any diagnostic test,

continuity test or attempting any servicing of any components.

Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.
