a blown fuse.
3. The unit temperature control
is set at "O" position.

conditions. At normal room
temperatures, expect your motor to
run about 40% to 80% of the time.
Under warmer conditions, expect it to
run even more often.

they touch. Rub a thin paraffin wax on

Vibrations. The unit is not resting solidly on
the floor.

The unit seems
to make too
much noise.
Troublesome noises from the
refrigerator: clicking, scraping,
squealing, thumping, dripping
or running water.
1. The dripping or running water noise
may indicate that the defrost water
drain is clogged. The clicking noise
usually indicates a compressor
shutting down due to overload,
overheating, shorting out, or the relay
start up system. The scraping noise is
usually the condenser fan rubbing
against the cardboard shroud. The
squealing is usually a defective
condenser fan motor.
