BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
IF YOU FEEL YOUR REFRIGERATOR IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY, CHECK THESE
POSSIBLE CAUSES FIRST :

A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit
breaker tripped. Or the appliance is connected to a
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet, and
the outlet's circuit breaker has tripped.
Check the main electrical box and replace the fuse
or reset the circuit breaker. Do not increase fuse
capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it
corrected by a qualied electrician.
