The Water Dispenser

IMPORTANT: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a

fresh supply.
To Dispense Water:

1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever.

2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

The Ice Dispenser

Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when
the dispenser lever is pressed. The dispensing system will not
operate when the freezer door is open. To turn off the ice maker,

see "Ice Maker and Storage Bin."
Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. Before

dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by pressing the
ICE button.

The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected.

CRUSHED CUBED

For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This
may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise
from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size.

When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed
ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

To Dispense Ice:

1. Press the button to select the desired type of ice.

Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the
following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed ice,
a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a lock

option to avoid unintentional dispensing.
NOTES:

• The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door
is open.

After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the
water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the
water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for
5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water

begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the
dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) for an additional

5 minutes. This will flush air from the filter and water
dispensing system. Additional flushing may be required in

some households. As air is cleared from the system, water
may spurt out of the dispenser.

• Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill
water.

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

2.

Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold the
glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall
outside of the glass.

IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the
lever in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will

not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

3.

Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for up to 10 seconds

after removing the glass from the lever. The dispenser may
continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.

The Dispenser Light (on some models)

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

The On/Off switch is located on the top right-hand side of the
freezer compartment.

• To turn on the ice maker, slide the control to the ON (left)
position.

• To manually turn off the ice maker, slide the control to the OFF
(right) position.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker
sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the control will
remain in the ON (left) position.

REMEMBER:

• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.

The quality of your ice will be only as good asthe quality of the
water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice
maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals
(such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to

poor quality ice. If asoftened water supply cannot be avoided,
make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well

maintained.
Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage

bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the
dispenser mechanism.

Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage
bin.

1. Hold the base of the storage bin with both hands and press
the release button to lift the storage bin up and out.

NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the ice maker control to the
OFF (right) position when removing the storage bin. The
sensor cover ("flipper door") on the left wall of the freezer
stops the ice maker from producing ice if the door is open or

the storage bin is removed.

2. Replace the storage bin on the door and push down to make
sure it is securely in place.

(on soY_e _'_ode s}

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or

after the system.

Water Filter Status Light (on some models)

The water filter status light will help you know when to change
your water filter. When the water filter status display changes from

"GOOD" to "ORDER," this tells you that it is almost time to
change the water filter cartridge. Replace the water filter cartridge

when the water filter status display changes to "REPLACE." If
water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases
noticeably, change the filter sooner. The filter should be replaced
at least every 6 months depending on your water quality and

usage.

turn the cap until it snaps into place.

NOTE: You can run the dispenser without a filter. Your water
will not be filtered. Simply insert the cap all of the way into the
base grille and rotate the cap until it is firmly in place.

5. Remove the covers from the O-rings. Be sure the O-rings are
still in place after the covers are removed.

6. Push the filter into the base grille. The eject button will pop
back out when the filter is fully engaged.

7. Flush the water system. See "Water and Ice Dispensers."

REFRIGERATORCARE

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid

buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any

odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor

transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:

NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing

petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or
gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh
cleaning tools.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior
surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a

mild detergent in warm water.

3. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.

4=

On some models, wash glass door panels with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.

NOTES:

Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, furniture, toys, or
other objects. Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the
glass may weaken its structure, causing an increased risk
of breakage at a later date.

• Do not close the doors until all shelves, drawers and bins
are in place.

5=

There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal
home operating environments. If the environment is
particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in
the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to

3 months to ensure maximum efficiency.
If you need to clean the condenser:

• Remove the base grille.

• Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille,
the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area

of the condenser.

• Replace the base grille when finished.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.

The refrigerator will not operate

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Is outlet working? Plug in a lamp to see ifthe outlet is

working.
Household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Replace

the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues,
call an electrician.

• Are controls on? Make sure the refrigerator controls are on.
See "Using the Controls."

• New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the
refrigerator to cool completely.

NOTE: Adjusting the temperature controls to coldest setting will
not cool either compartment more quickly.

The motor seems to run too much

Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its
high-efficiency compressor and fans. To maximize energy
efficiency, the compressor changes speed to provide just the right

amount of cooling as it is needed. Your refrigerator may run as
much as 100% of the time, but it will still use less energy than an
older refrigerator. You may notice that it runs more often when the
room is warm, a large amount of food is added to either
compartment, or the doors are opened often.

The refrigerator is noisy

Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this
reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new
refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below are

listed some normal sounds with an explanation.

• Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice
maker

Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize
performance

Rattling - flow of refrigerant, water line, or from items placed
on top of the refrigerator

Sizzling/Gurgling - water dripping on the heater during
defrost cycle

Popping - contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially
during initial cool-down

Water running - may be heard when ice melts during the
defrost cycle and water runs into the drain pan

Creaking/Cracking - occurs as ice is being ejected from the
ice maker mold.

The doors will not close completely

Check the following:

• Are food packages blocking the door open?

• Are all bins and shelves pushed back into the correct
positions?

The doors are difficult to open

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Are the gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets with mild

soap and warm water.

Has the door been opened and closed within the last few
seconds? Wait at least 30 seconds to reopen the doors.

Temperature is too warm

Check the following:

• Are the air vents blocked in either compartment?

• Are the door(s) opened often?

• Has a large amount of food just been added to the refrigerator
or freezer?

• Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions?

There is interior moisture buildup

NOTE: Some moisture is normal.

• Are the air vents blocked in the refrigerator?

• Are the door(s) opened often?

• Is the room humid?

• Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions?

• Was an automatic self-defrost cycle completed?

Items in meat pan/crisper are freezing

The temperature inside the meat pan/crisper may become too
cold, especially when using some additional control panel
features. Adjust the meat pan control to the closed setting.

ce

The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice

• Is the ice maker wire shutoff arm or switch (depending on
models) in the OFF position?

Is the water line shutoff valve to the refrigerator turned on?

Has the ice maker just been installed? Is the freezer
temperature cold enough to produce ice? Wait 24 hours

after ice maker hookup for ice production to begin. Allow
3 days after ice production begins to completely fill ice
container.

Does the ice maker mold have water in it or has no ice

been produced? Make sure your refrigerator has been
connected to a water supply and the supply shutoff valve is
turned on.

Has a large amount of ice just been removed? Allow
24 hours for ice maker to produce more ice.

Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The filter
may be clogged or installed incorrectly.

Is an ice cube jammed in the ice maker ejector arm?
For models with an interior ice bin, remove the ice from the
ejector arm with a plastic utensil.

Is a reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to
your cold water supply? See "Water Supply Requirements"

in the Installation Instructions.

The ice cubes are hollow or small

This is an indication of low water pressure.

Check the following:

• Is the water shutoff valve fully open?

• Are there kinks in the water lines that could restrict water
flow?

If you are using a water filter, remove the filter and operate the
dispenser. If water flow increases, the filter is clogged or
incorrectly installed.

Is a reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to
your cold water supply? See "Water Supply Requirements"

in the Installation Instructions.

• If you still have questions regarding your water pressure, call a
licensed, qualified plumber.

Off-taste, odor or gray color in the ice

Check the following:

• Are the plumbing connections new, causing discolored or
off-flavored ice?

• Have the ice cubes been stored too long?

• Does the freezer and ice bin need to be cleaned?

• Has food in the freezer or refrigerator been wrapped properly?

• Does the water contain minerals (such as sulfur)? A filter
may need to be installed to remove the minerals.

• Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? Gray or
dark discoloration in ice indicates that the water filtration

system needs additional flushing.

ice? Change the ice button from "crushed" to "cubed." If

cubed ice dispenses correctly, depress the button for
"crushed" ice and begin dispensing again.

Has the dispenser lever been held in too long? Ice will stop
dispensing when the arm is held in too long. Wait 3 minutes

for dispenser motor to reset before using again.

Check the following:

• Is the freezer door closed completely?

• Is the water shutoff valve not turned on, incorrectly installed or
clogged?

• Is the water line connected at the source?

• Is there a kink in the home water source line?

• Has the water system not filled? The water system needs to
be filled the first time it is used.

Is the refrigerator connected to a cold water line with
water pressure of at least 30 psi (207 kPa)? The water

pressure to the home determines the flow from the dispenser.
Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The filter

may be clogged or incorrectly installed.
