If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first installed, there may be air in the water line system. Press the dispenser paddle for at least five minutes to remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the water system. To flush out impurities in the water line, throw away the first six full glasses of water.
ŶTo keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.
ŶSome crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBED. This happens occasionally when a few cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher.
ŶAfter crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the chute.
ŶSometimes a small mound of snow will form on the door in the ice chute. This condition is normal and usually occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly. The snow will eventually evaporate.

Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in the left-hand refrigerator door behind the rectangular access panel.
When to Replace the Filter Cartridge
The Replace Water Filter message on the control panel will illuminate when the water filter cartridge needs to be replaced soon. The Water Filter Expired message will illuminate when the water filter cartridge needs to be replaced. The water filter can be replaced earlier if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases. Once either message is illuminated, dispensing water will show Confirm Filter Change; do not confirm until the water filter is replaced
REMOVING THE FILTER
If you are replacing the filter,
first remove the previous one by gently grasping the filter and
slowly turning it to the left, about a ¼ turn. The filter should automatically release itself when you have rotated it far enough to the left. A small
amount of water may drip down.
