Is the refrigerator plugged through a power bar?
Cause
Some less expensive power bars available in the marketplace are not grounded. Leakage current can also flow to the refrigerator door if house wiring is not grounded.
Being that a refrigerator is the single one household appliance running just about constantly it is highly recommended it be connected to a dedicated AC outlet and circuit as well as avoidance of a power bar between the refrigerator and the wall AC outlet.
- Contact an authorized service center when you install or relocate the refrigerator.
- When moving your refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
- Connect this product to a dedicated grounded electric outlet conforming with the rating prior to use. It is the user's responsibility to replace a standard 2 prong wall outlet with a standard 3-prong wall outlet.
- Do not install the refrigerator where there may be a danger of falling.
Troubleshooting
For housing wiring, contact an electrician for grounding. When using a power bar, use those with ground terminals. Products with rated capacity over 15A should be used.
- Outlets on walls are recommended for running refrigerators.
- Plugging in many products into a power bar can cause fire or electricity leakage.
