Parts & Features

Doors will not close correctly or pop open.

Cause

Food packages are blocking the door open.

Solution
  • Rearrange food containers to clear the door and door shelves.

Cause

Ice bin, crisper cover, pans, shelves, door bins, or baskets are out of position.

Solution
  • Push bins all the way in and put crisper cover, pans, shelves and baskets into their correct positions. See the Operation section for more information.

Cause

The doors were removed during product installation and not properly replaced.

Solution
  • Remove and replace the doors according to the Removing and Replacing Refrigerator Handles and Doors section.

Cause

  • See Door Alignment in the Refrigeration Installation section to level refrigerator.

Doors are difficult to open.

Cause

The gaskets are dirty or sticky.

Solution
  • Clean the gaskets and the surfaces that they touch. Rub a thin coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax on the gaskets after cleaning.

Cause

Door was recently closed.

Solution
  • When you open the door, warmer air enters the refrigerator. As the warm air cools, it can create a vacuum. If the door is hard to open, wait one minute to allow the air pressure to equalize, then see if it opens more easily.

Refrigerator wobbles or seems unstable

Cause

Leveling legs are not adjusted properly.

Solution
  • Refer to the Leveling and Door Alignment section.

Cause

Floor is not level.

Solution
  • It may be necessary to add shims under the leveling legs or rollers to complete installation.

Lights do not work.

Cause

LED interior lighting failure.

Solution
  • The refrigerator compartment lamp is LED interior lighting, and service should be performed by a qualified technician.

Cause

LED door lighting failure (on some models).

Solution
  • The proximity sensor is located in the center of the door, and may not sense activity to the side of the door. The proximity sensor must detect a person before it will operate the LED Lighting.

    If the flooring material is highly reflective, or if there are highly reflective objects in front of the product, the proximity sensor which controls the LED door lighting may not function properly.

  • It may take 30 seconds to work normally after the refrigerator is initially installed.

Refrigerator has an unusual odor.

Cause

The Air Filter may need to be set to the MAX setting or replaced.

Solution

The interior of the refrigerator is covered with dust or soot.

Cause

The refrigerator is located near a fire source, such as a fireplace, chimney, or candle.
