Kenmore 70087 253.7008 Installation Instructions

To adjust the temperature settings, locate the temperature control dial inside the refrigerator compartment. Turn the dial to a higher number for a colder setting and a lower number for a warmer setting. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize after making adjustments.
First, check if the refrigerator is plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure that the temperature setting is correctly adjusted. Clean the condenser coils located at the back or bottom of the refrigerator to improve efficiency. If the problem persists, consider checking the door seals for any gaps or damages that might be letting warm air in.
It is recommended to clean the condenser coils every 6 months. This helps in maintaining efficient cooling and reduces the workload on the compressor.
Use a 40-watt appliance bulb for replacement. Ensure that the bulb is specifically designed for refrigerator use to withstand the cold temperatures.
Locate the water filter compartment inside the refrigerator. Turn the old filter counterclockwise to remove it. Insert the new filter and turn it clockwise until it is securely in place. Run water through the dispenser for 5 minutes to purge air and impurities.
Water pooling can be due to a blocked defrost drain. To fix it, unplug the refrigerator and locate the drain hole, usually at the back of the refrigerator compartment. Use a pipe cleaner or a turkey baster with warm water to clear any blockage.
Ensure that air can circulate freely by not overloading the shelves. Store raw meat on the bottom shelf to prevent drips onto other foods. Use the crisper drawers for fruits and vegetables, and keep dairy products in the coldest part of the fridge.
Ensure that the refrigerator is level and not in direct contact with the walls or cabinets. Check for any loose parts or panels. Regularly clean the condenser coils to prevent the compressor from overworking, which can reduce noise.
Check if the ice maker is turned on and the water supply line is connected and not kinked. Verify that the freezer temperature is set between 0°F and 5°F. If the problem continues, inspect the ice maker for jammed ice or a malfunctioning component.
Regularly clean the interior with a mixture of baking soda and water. Store strong-smelling foods in airtight containers. Place an open box of baking soda in the fridge to absorb odors and replace it every three months.
