• Due to a possibility of personal injury or property damage, always contact an authorized technician for
service or repair of this refrigerator.
• Refer to Service Manual 16021730 for installation, operating, disassembly, icemaker, testing, and
troubleshooting information.

! CAUTION
All safety information must be followed as provided in Service Manual 16021730.

! WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock that can cause death or severe personal injury, disconnect unit from power before
servicing unless testing is required. Discharge capacitors through a 10,000 ohm resistor before handling. Wires
removed during disassembly must be replaced on correct terminals to ensure proper grounding and polarization.
