first three batches of ice produced.
■ The quality of your ice will be only as good as the 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 a softened water supply cannot
be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating
properly and is well maintained.
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.
After changing the water filter, reset the status light by pressing
and holding the FILTER button for 3 seconds. The status light will
change from “REPLACE” to “NEW” or “GOOD” when the system
is reset.

When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to
the “Installation Instructions” for preparation instructions. Also, if
your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, remember to
reconnect the water supply to the refrigerator.
The refrigerator will not operate
A WARNING
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 if the 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 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 water melts during the
defrost cycle and 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
AWARNING
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.
U/
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.
The ice cubes are hollow or small
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.
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 either the Installation Instruction booklet or the Use and
Care Guide.
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

■ Are the plumbing connections new, causing discolored or offflavored 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.
The ice dispenser will not operate properly
Check the following:
Is the freezer door closed completely?
Is the ice bin installed correctly?
Is there ice in the bin?
Has the ice frozen in the ice bin?
