Safety first
If you see smoke, sparks, damaged wiring, a burning smell or water reaching electrical parts, stop using the appliance and arrange qualified service. Disconnect power only when it can be done safely. Do not remove electrical covers or open the refrigerant system. If food may have warmed, use an appliance thermometer and follow FoodSafety.gov food-temperature and outage advice. A control setting or digital display is not a substitute for actual food-temperature checks.
Quick help
| What you see | Safe next step | When to request service |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator contents are warm | Check actual temperature with a thermometer, that doors close fully, and that visible interior airflow is not blocked. | Food temperatures are unsafe or cooling still fails. |
| An unfamiliar light, beep or code appears | Record the precise characters or sound and any recent outage; use the correct model manual, not another product’s reset sequence. | The indication returns, or is paired with unsafe temperature. |
| Food feels warm or freezes unexpectedly | Measure actual temperatures, check that the doors shut and avoid blocking internal air outlets. The listed electronic controls need model-specific instructions. | If temperatures are unsafe or continue fluctuating. |

| What you notice | What to check | When to stop |
|---|---|---|
| Food feels warm or freezes unexpectedly | Measure actual temperatures, check that the doors shut and avoid blocking internal air outlets. The listed electronic controls need model-specific instructions. | If temperatures are unsafe or continue fluctuating. |
| Ice is not being dispensed | Check that both doors close and inspect the accessible ice bin for a visible obstruction. Avoid tools in the chute and do not remove electrical panels. | If ice production remains stopped or the dispenser mechanism is damaged. |
| Exterior water runs slowly | Review the filter status and visible water-supply shutoff; use the specified EveryDrop filter instructions rather than disconnecting lines. | If water leaks, flow remains restricted or electrical areas get wet. |
