Lg Srfvc2416s 24 Cu. Ft. Smart Instaview Door-in-door Large Capacity Counter-depth Refrigerator User Manual

•  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 qualified electrician.
•  Reset the circuit breaker on the GFCI. If the problem persists, contact an electrician.

•  Turn the control ON. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for proper temperature settings.

•  Demo Mode allows the lights and control display to work normally while disabling cooling, to save energy while the refrigerator is on the showroom floor. See the FAQs section of this manual for instructions on how to disable Demo Mode.

•  During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may rise slightly. Wait 30 minutes and confirm the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has completed.

•  It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature.

•  If the refrigerator was stored for a long period of time or moved on its side, it is necessary for the refrigerator to stand upright for 24 hours before connecting it to power.

•  Modern refrigerators require more operating time but use less energy due to more efficient technology.

•  The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool completely.

•  Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as the food is removed. (Refer to the Food Storage Guide.)

•  Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not shut all the way, the “Doors will not close correctly or pop open” section in Troubleshooting.

•  The compressor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures (70

°F or 21 °C) expect your compressor to run about 40 % to 80 % of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more often. The refrigerator should not be operated above 110 °F (43 °C).

•  Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not remove the panel covering the condenser coil area.

•  When the doors are opened often or for long periods of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This raises the temperature and moisture level within the compartment. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.

•  See the “Doors will not close correctly or pop open” section.

•  Humid weather allows additional moisture to enter the compartments when the doors are opened leading to condensation or frost. Maintaining a reasonable level of humidity in the home will help to control the amount of moisture that can enter the compartments.

•  During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may rise slightly and condensation may form on the back wall. Wait 30 minutes and confirm that the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has completed.

•  Food stored uncovered or unwrapped, and damp containers can lead to moisture accumulation within each compartment. Wipe all containers dry and store food in sealed packaging to prevent condensation and frost.

•  Rearrange items with high water content away from air vents.

•  If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Control Panel section for more information.

•  When the refrigerator is operated in temperature below 41 °F (5 °C), food can freeze in the refrigerator compartment. The refrigerator should not be operated in temperature below 55 °F (13 °C).

•  Do not store food items with high water content in the freezer for a long period of time.

•  Refer to the “Doors will not close correctly or pop open” section in the Troubleshooting.

•  Locate air vents by using your hand to sense airflow and move all packages that block vents and restrict airflow. Rearrange items to allow air to flow throughout the compartment.

•  When the doors are opened often or for long periods of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This raises the temperature and moisture level within the compartment. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.

•  The refrigerator should not be operated in temperatures above 110 °F (43 °C).

•  Adding food warms the compartment requiring the cooling system to run. Allowing hot food to cool to room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator will reduce this effect.

•  See the “Doors will not close correctly or pop open” section in the Troubleshooting.

•  If the temperature is too warm, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize.

•  During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may rise slightly and condensation may form on the back wall. Wait 30 minutes and confirm the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has completed.

•  The ice maker begins producing ice approximately 48 hours after the appliance is initially installed. The first batches of ice may not be round and clear.

•  For more ice, select the 6 ICE mode which produces 2 batches every 24 hours.

•  Refer to the Automatic Icemaker section for ice production capacity to check the amount of ice produced in a 24 hour period.

•  Connect the refrigerator to a cold water supply with adequate pressure and turn the water shutoff valve fully open. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact a plumber.

•  Replacing the water filter is recommended:
  • Approximately every six months.
  •  When the water filter indicator turns on.
  •  When the water dispenser output decreases.
  •  When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.

•  The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi (138 and 827 kPa) on models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 psi (276 and 827 kPa) on models with a water filter. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact a plumber.

•  Reverse osmosis filtration systems can reduce the water pressure below the minimum amount and result in icemaker issues. (Refer to the Connecting the Water Line section.)

•  The tubing can kink when the refrigerator is moved during installation or cleaning resulting in reduced water flow. Straighten or repair the water supply line and arrange it to prevent future kinks.

•  If the doors of the unit are opened often, ambient air will warm the refrigerator which will prevent the unit from maintaining the set temperature. Lowering the refrigerator temperature can help, as well as not opening the doors as frequently.

•  If the doors are not properly closed, ice production will be affected. See the “Doors will not close correctly or pop open” section in Parts & Features Troubleshooting for more information.

•  The recommended temperature for the freezer compartment for normal ice production is 0 °F (-18 °C). If the freezer temperature is warmer, ice production will be affected.

•  Locate the icemaker ON/OFF and confirm that it is turned on.

•  Foreign substances or frost on the ice-detecting sensor can interrupt ice production. Make sure that the sensor area is clean at all times for proper operation.

•  Connect the refrigerator to the water supply and turn the water shutoff valve fully open.

•  If your icemaker is equipped with an ice shutoff arm, make sure that the arm moves freely. If your icemaker is equipped with the electronic ice shutoff sensor, make sure that there is a clear path between the two sensors.

•  Reverse osmosis filtration systems can reduce the water pressure below the minimum amount and result in icemaker issues. (Refer to the Connecting the Water Line section.)

•  Ice that has been stored for too long will shrink, become cloudy, and may develop a stale taste. Throw away old ice and make a new supply.

•  Rewrap the food. Odors may migrate to the ice if food is not wrapped properly.

•  See the Maintenance section for more information.

•  Empty and wash the bin (discard old cubes). Make sure that the bin is completely dry before reinstalling it.

•  Ice will not dispense if any of the refrigerator doors are left open.

•  Infrequent use of the ice dispenser will cause the cubes to stick together over time, which will prevent them from properly dispensing. Check the ice bin for ice cubes clumping/ sticking together. If they are, break up the ice cubes to allow for proper operation.

•  Eliminate the frost or ice fragments by removing the ice bin and clearing the chute with a plastic utensil. Dispensing cubed ice can also help prevent frost or ice fragment buildup.

•  Press and hold the Lock button for three seconds to unlock the control panel and dispenser.

•  It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature and for the icemaker to begin making ice. Make sure that the shutoff (arm/sensor) is not obstructed. Once the ice supply in the bin has been completely exhausted, it may take up to 90 minutes before additional ice is available, and approximately 24 hours to completely refill the bin.
