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

2 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.
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the

first three batches of ice produced.
The display screen on the dispenser control panel has a

backlight, which will turn off automatically when the control
buttons have not been used for 30 seconds or more. When

the backlight is off, the first press of a control button will only
reactivate the backlight, without changing any settings. Within

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.

Thelce 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.

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/Oft 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 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 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.

When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on.
If you want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either

ON or DIM. The display screen indicates which mode is selected.

ON DIM OFF

ON: Press LIGHT to turn the dispenser light on.
DIM: Press LIGHT a second time to select DIM mode. The

dispenser light will remain on, but at a lower intensity.
OFF: Press LIGHT a third time to turn the dispenser light off.
The dispenser lights are LEDs that can not be changed. If it

appears that your dispenser lights are not working, see
"Troubleshooting" for more information.

The Dispenser Lock (on some models)

The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid
unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.

NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the refrigerator,
to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the
dispenser controls and levers. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice
Maker and Storage Bin."

• Press and hold LOCK a second time to unlock the dispenser.
The display screen indicates when the dispenser is locked.

Removing and Replacing Ice 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

First try the solutions suggested here or visit our website and reference FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.

In the U.S.A., www.whirlpool.com In Canada, www.whirlpool.ca

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 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

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.

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.

_C_:_,i_i'_d] ? _""

The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice

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 either the Installation Instructions or the Use and Care
Guide.

• 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.

• 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.

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?

• Is ice stuck in the delivery chute?

• Has the wrong ice been added to the bin? Use only cubes
produced by the current ice maker.

• Has the ice melted around the auger (metal spiral) in the
ice bin? Empty the ice container. Use warm water to melt the
ice if necessary.

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

Is the ice dispenser stalling while dispensing "crushed"
ice? Change the ice button from "crushed" to "cubed." If

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