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 by dispensing water into a sturdy container until

you draw and discard 1.5 gal. (5.4 L) of water, or for
approximately 3 minutes after the water begins dispensing.
The flushing process cleans the water system and clears air
from the lines. As the air is cleared from the lines, 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 Water Dispenser

The Dispenser Lock (on some models)

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

The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is

open. Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer
when the dispenser lever is pressed.

NOTE: Some models dispense both cubed and crushed ice.
Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer.

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. If the ice storage bin is located on the door, remove the
temporary shield from underneath the ice storage bin. See

"Ice Maker and Storage Bin."

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

The Dispenser Light

Style 1: The dispenser light can be turned on by pressing the ON
button.

Style 2: When you use the dispenser, the lever will automatically

turn the light on. Ifyou want the light to be on continuously, you

may choose either ON or NIGHT LIGHT.
ON: Press the LIGHT button to turn on the dispenser light.

NIGHT LIGHT: Press the LIGHT button a second time to select

the Night Light. The dispenser light will automatically adjust to

become brighter as the room brightens, dimmer as the room
darkens.

OFF: Press the LIGHT button a third time to turn off the dispenser
light.

The dispenser lights are LEDs which should not need to be

changed. If it appears that your dispenser lights are not working,
be sure that the light sensor is not blocked (in Night Light mode).

See "Troubleshooting" for more information.

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

NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the product, to
the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the
dispenser levers. The ice and water dispensers will not work.

Style 1: Press the LOCK button to lock the dispenser. Press the
UNLOCK button to unlock the dispenser.

Style 2: Press and hold the LOCK OUT button to lock the
dispenser. Press and hold the LOCK OUT button a second time to

unlock the dispenser.

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

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

Toturn 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 a softened 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.

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.

Water Filter Status Light (on some models)

The filter status light will help you know when to change your

water filter. The light will change from green to yellow. This tells
you that it is almost time to change the filter. It is recommended
that you replace the filter when the status light changes to red OR

water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases

noticeably.
After changing the filter, reset the filter status light by pressing the

button. The status light will change from red to green when the

system is reset.

Non-indicator Water Filter (on some models)

If your refrigerator does not have the status light, you should

change the water filter every 6 months depending upon your

usage. If the water flow to the water dispenser or ice maker

decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the

water filter more often.

4.

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:

• Removethe 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.
Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

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

odors from building up. 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 prevent

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.

NOTE: Not all bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace the
bulb with one of the same size, shape and wattage. On some
models, the dispenser light requires a heavy duty 10-watt bulb. All
other lights require a 40-watt bulb. Replacement bulbs are

available from your dealer.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove light shield when applicable.
NOTE: To clean the light shield, wash it with warm water and

liquid detergent. Rinse and dry the shield well.

3. Remove light bulb and replace with one of the same size,
shape and wattage.

4. Replace light shield when applicable.

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 if the outlet is
working.

• Household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Replace
the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Ifthe 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. The unit may run even
longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, doors are

opened often, or if the doors have been left 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.

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?

• Isthe 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 inthe 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 & 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
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 & Care Guide.

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

Off-taste, odor or gray color inthe 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.

The ice dispenser will not operate properly

If the ice storage bin is located on the door, remove the temporary

shield from underneath the ice storage bin. See "Ice Maker and
Storage Bin."

Check the following:

• Is the freezer door closed completely?

• Is the ice bin installed correctly?

• Is there ice in the bin?

• 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? Dump the ice cubes and clean the ice bin. See "Ice

Maker and Storage Bin."

CutHazard

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.

• Has the dispenser lever been held in too long? Ice will stop
dispensing when the arm is held intoo long. Wait 3 minutes
for dispenser motor to reset before using again.

The water dispenser will not operate properly

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.

• 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 & Care Guide.
