It is recommended to completely defrost your freezer at least once every six months.
A freezer must be transported upright at all times. It is very bad for a freezer to be transported on its side as oil from the compressor can end up in the evaporator.
A commonly used method is to temporarily place a cup of vinegar in the freezer.
To adjust the temperature in the GE GIE18GSNRSS freezer, follow these steps: 1. Locate the temperature control knob. It is usually located inside the refrigerator compartment. 2. The recommended factory setting is "3" for normal cooling. If you want colder temperatures, turn the knob clockwise to either setting "4" or "5". For warmer temperatures, turn the knob counter-clockwise to either setting "1" or "2". 3. To turn off the cooling in both compartments, turn the knob counter-clockwise to the "Off" setting. Please note that this does not shut off power to the refrigerator. 4. If your model has dual temperature control, you can adjust the freezer control separately. This is useful when operating the refrigerator in locations with ambient temperatures between 38-110°F (3.3-43.3°C). - For cold ambient conditions between 38-54°F (3.3-12.2°C), set the fresh food compartment to setting "2" to prevent food from freezing and adjust the freezer setting to position "5" to prevent food from thawing in the freezer compartment. Remember to allow the refrigerator some time to reach the desired temperature after making adjustments.
To use the Sabbath Mode feature in the GE GIE18GSNRSS freezer, follow these steps: 1. Locate the temperature control knob inside the refrigerator compartment. 2. Turn the control knob to position 5. 3. Hold down the light switch located just to the left of the control knob. 4. While holding down the light switch, turn the control knob to position 3. 5. Release the light switch. 6. The light will turn off, indicating that the product is now in Sabbath mode. 7. To exit Sabbath mode, repeat the same control knob/light switch sequence used to enter Sabbath mode. 8. If Sabbath mode is not manually exited, it will automatically end after 96 hours. 9. If the power is disconnected from the product while in Sabbath mode, it will remain in Sabbath mode when power is reconnected. 10. Please note that Sabbath mode does not deactivate the icemaker, if present. The icemaker must be turned off manually by moving the icemaker switch to the off position. By following these steps, you can easily use the Sabbath Mode feature in the GE GIE18GSNRSS freezer.
To clean the shelves in the fresh food compartment of the GE GIE18GSNRSS freezer, follow these steps: 1. Remove any items from the shelves and set them aside. 2. If the shelves are made of tempered glass, be cautious not to clean them with warm water when they are cold, as sudden temperature changes may cause them to break. 3. For steel wire shelves, you can clean them by lifting the back end and pulling them forward to remove. 4. For glass shelves, lift the front edge, push the shelf back, lift it up, and pull it forward to remove. 5. Clean the shelves using a mild detergent mixed with warm water. You can use a soft, clean cloth or sponge to gently scrub the shelves. 6. Rinse the shelves thoroughly with clean water to remove any detergent residue. 7. Wipe the shelves dry with a clean cloth or allow them to air dry before placing them back in the fresh food compartment. 8. Once the shelves are dry, carefully place them back onto the shelf supports in the desired positions. 9. Avoid using abrasive cloths, scrubbing sponges, or scouring pads, as they may scratch or damage the shelves. By following these steps, you can effectively clean the shelves in the fresh food compartment of the GE GIE18GSNRSS freezer.
To install the water line for the automatic ice maker in the GE GIE18GSNRSS freezer, follow these steps: 1. Before making the connection to the refrigerator, ensure that the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet. 2. If your water supply has sand or particles that could clog the screen of the refrigerator's water valve, it is recommended to install a water filter (such as GXRLQ) near the refrigerator. Do not cut the plastic tube to install the filter. 3. Remove the access cover and the plastic flexible or screw cap from the water valve (refrigerator connection) and discard them. 4. Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing. 5. Insert the end of the tubing into the water valve connection as far as possible and tighten the fitting while holding the tubing. 6. If you are using plastic tubing from a SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end of the tubing into the shutoff valve and tighten the compression nut until it is hand tight, then tighten one additional turn with a wrench. 7. Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold it in a vertical position. 8. Turn the water on at the shutoff valve and tighten any connections that leak. 9. Reattach the access cover. 10. Plug in the refrigerator and arrange the coil of tubing so that it does not vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or against the wall. 11. Start the ice maker by setting the ice maker power switch to the ON position. The ice maker will begin operation automatically when it reaches its operating temperature of 15°F (-9°C) or below. By following these steps, you can successfully install the water line for the automatic ice maker in the GE GIE18GSNRSS freezer.
To troubleshoot normal operating sounds in the GE GIE18GSNRSS freezer, follow these steps: 1. High-Pitched Hum or Pulsating Sound: - The new high-efficiency compressor may run faster and longer than your old refrigerator, resulting in a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound. This is normal operation. 2. Whooshing Sound When Doors Close: - When you close the doors, you may hear a whooshing sound. This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator and is normal. 3. Fans Spinning at High Speeds: - The fans in the refrigerator may spin at high speeds when the refrigerator is first plugged in, when the doors are opened frequently, or when a large amount of food is added. The fans help maintain the correct temperatures and this is normal. 4. Clicking, Popping, Cracking, and Chirping Sounds: - Clicking or popping sounds may occur when the refrigerator is first plugged in as it cools to the correct temperature. The compressor may also cause a clicking or chirping sound when attempting to restart. Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after defrost can cause cracking or popping sounds. On models with an ice maker, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket. These sounds are normal. 5. Water Sounds: - The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water. Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling, popping, or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle. A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost cycle as ice melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan. Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to pressure equalization. These sounds are normal. By following these steps, you can troubleshoot and determine if the operating sounds in your GE GIE18GSNRSS freezer are normal.
