Lights do not work

■ Your refrigerator has been equipped with LED lighting which does not need to be replaced - If there

is power to the refrigerator and the lights do not illuminate when a door or drawer is opened, call

for service or assistance. See either the front cover or the Warranty for contact information.

■ The dispenser light is set to OFF - On some models, the dispenser light will operate only when the

dispenser paddle is pressed. If you want the dispenser light to stay on continuously, see “Water and

Ice Dispensers.”

■ Doors have been open longer than 10 minutes - Close the doors and drawers to reset, and open to

resume lighted task.

Shelves with under-shelf LEDs

do not light up (on some

models)

■ Shelf hooks are not fully engaged in shelf supports - Check that the rear shelf hooks are completely

seated into the slots in the shelf supports.

■ Shelf supports, fastened to the back wall of the refrigerator cabinet, are loose - Check all shelf

support screws to ensure they are fully tightened. Tighten all loose screws.

■ Doors have been open for longer than 10 minutes - Close the doors and drawers to reset, and then

open to resume lighted tasks.

Exterior drawer control not lit/

unresponsive

■ The refrigerator is in Cooling Off mode - Exit Cooling Off mode. See “Using the Controls.”

■ The refrigerator controls’ initialization process did not complete successfully - Unplug the

refrigerator, wait 5 seconds. Plug in the refrigerator, and wait 30 seconds before opening the doors

or drawers, or touching the control panel.

■ The drawer front was recently removed - Make sure the temperature control wires have been

properly reconnected. See “Remove and Replace Drawer Fronts.”

Refrigerator seems noisy The compressor in your new refrigerator regulates temperature more efficiently and uses less energy

than older models. During various stages of operation, you may hear normal operating sounds that are

unfamiliar.

The following noises are normal:

■ Buzzing/Clicking - Heard when the water valve opens and closes to dispense water or fill the ice

maker. If the refrigerator is connected to a water line, this is normal. If the refrigerator is not

connected to a water line, turn off the ice maker.

■ Repetitive Clicking - Dual evaporator valve regulating the cooling operation.

■ Cracking/Clatter - Heard when ice is ejected from the ice maker mold and then falls into the ice

storage bin.

■ Popping - Heard when the inside walls contract/expand, especially during initial cool down.

■ Hissing/Dripping - Flow of refrigerant, or flow of oil in the compressor.

■ Pulsating/Whirring - Heard when the fans/compressor adjust to optimize performance during

normal operation.

■ Rattling - Heard when water passes through the water line, or due to the flow of refrigerant. Rattling

may also come from items placed on top of the refrigerator.

■ Water running or gurgling - Heard when ice melts during the defrost cycle and water runs into the

drain pan.

■ Sizzling - Heard when water drips onto the heater during the defrost cycle.

■ Vibration - The refrigerator may not be steady. Adjust the leveling screws and lower the leveling

foot until it is firmly against the floor. See “Refrigerator Leveling, Door Closing and Alignment.”
