REFRIGERATORSAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:

• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

• Do not remove ground prong.

• Do not use an adapter.

• Do not use an extension cord.

• Disconnect power before servicing.

• Replace all parts and panels before operating.

• Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• Use nonflammable cleaner.

• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.

• Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

• Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker

kit ready models only).

• Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice (on some models).

ProperDisposalofYourOldRefrigerator

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors from your old refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous

- even if they will sit for "just a few days." Ifyou are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help

prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

• Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install in a location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Remove packaging materials. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove

tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your

refrigerator. For more information, see "Refrigerator Safety."

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it.

Do not wiggle or "walk" the refrigerator when trying to move

it, as floor damage could occur.

important information to know about glass shelves

and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to

sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.

For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter

into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass

shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when

removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

_Jl,

2" {5.08 cm)

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.

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.

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

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for 1/2"

(1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2" (5.08 cm) minimum on

each side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to swing open. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections.

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet

that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and then

disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control

depending on the model) to the desired setting.

Gathertherequiredtoolsandpartsbeforestartinginstallation. Readandfollowtheinstructionsprovidedwithanytoolslisted

here.

TOOLS NEEDED:

• Flat-blade screwdriver • %" Drill bit

• 7/16"and 1/2"Open-end or two • Hand drill or electric drill adjustable wrenches (properly grounded)

• 1/4"nut driver

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4" (6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with

your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16"

(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

IMPORTANT:

• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

• Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and

120 psi (207 - 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. Ifyou have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a

reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 - 827 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis

system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 - 414 kPa). If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than

40 to 60 psi (276 - 414 kPa):

• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.

• If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse

osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See "Water Filtration System."

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from the connection on the lower rear corner of the refrigerator

to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1/4"(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

Using a grounded drill, drill a 1/4"(6.35 mm) hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

6. Fasten shutoff valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the 1/4"(6.35 mm) drilled hole in the water pipe and that washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly

so the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.

7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the

outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw the compression nut onto the outlet end with an adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

8. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn ON main water supply and flush out the tubing until water

is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing.

Connect to Refrigerator

Style 1

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove and discard the shipping tape and the black nylon plug from the gray, coiled water tubing on the rear of the refrigerator.

3. If the gray water tube supplied with the refrigerator is not long enough, a 1/4"x 1/4"coupling is needed in order to connect the water tubing to an existing household water supply line. Thread the provided nut onto the coupling on the end of the

copper tubing. NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench

two more turns. Do not overtighten.

Read all directions before you begin. IMPORTANT: Ifyou turn the refrigerator on before the water line is

connected, turn the ice maker OFR

Connect to Water Line

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.

3. Locate a 1/2"(12.70 mm) to 11/4'' (3.18 cm) vertical cold water pipe near the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

• Make sure it is a cold water pipe.

• Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the

pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

REFRIGERATORUSE

For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the

factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the

controls are still preset. The Refrigerator Control and the Freezer Control should both be set to the "mid-settings."

IMPORTANT:

• Your product will not cool when the Refrigerator Control is

set to OFF.

• The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator

compartment temperature. The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer compartment temperature. Higher numbered settings make the compartment colder. Lower numbered settings make the temperature less cold.

• Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If

you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

Push control button on the side of the control box and release it.

The control will pop out. Turn the control to the desired setting.

3. Push the control in to lock it into place. NOTE: Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a higher

(colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

Adjusting Controls

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the

refrigerator. The settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when

ice cream is firm. If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer,

use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

Depending on your model, your water and ice dispensers may have one or more of the following features: a rotating water dispenser faucet and pull-out tray, a special light that turns on

when you use the dispenser, or a lock option to avoid unintentional dispensing.

NOTES:

• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or

of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

• If your model has a base grille filter system, make sure the base grille filter is properly installed.

• 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 several 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

IMPORTANT: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a

fresh supply.

To Dispense Water (Standard}:

1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser pad OR place the glass below the water dispenser and press the

WATER button. NOTE: While dispensing water and for 5 seconds after

dispensing has stopped, the digital display will show how much water has been dispensed. The default unit is ounces. To switch to cups or liters, press the UNITS button before dispensing.

2. Remove the glass OR release the button to stop dispensing.

To Dispense Water (Measured Fill):

Measured Fill allows you to dispense a specified amount of water with the touch of a few buttons. In Custom mode, you can dispense any amount within a specified range. In Water Bottle mode, you can dispense pre-set amounts according to the size of the container.

NOTE: The exact amount of water you select will be dispensed. Be sure that the container is empty and can hold the entire

volume. If ice is in the container, you may need to adjust your selection.

1. Press MEASURED FILL until the light turns on. Press MEASURED FILL again to turn the feature off.

NOTE: The dispenser will automatically turn off Measured Fill after one minute of inactivity. When Measured Fill is turned off,

any changes you have made will be lost and all defaults will be restored.

5. To dispense water, press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser pad OR place the glass below the water dispenser and press the WATER button.

NOTE: While dispensing water, the digital display will count down how much water remains to be dispensed, according to

the volume you selected. The flow of water will automatically stop once the desired volume has been dispensed.

6. To stop dispensing before the selected volume has been dispensed, remove the glass from the dispenser pad OR press

the WATER button a second time. NOTE: If you stop dispensing before the desired volume has

been dispensed, the digital display will continue to show how much water remains to be dispensed. The display will turn off

after one minute of inactivity. To select a new volume or select the same volume again, you

must first finish dispensing the selected volume, or turn the Measured Fill feature off and then turn it back on.

Rotating Faucet and Pull-out Tray (on some models)

Your dispenser may include a rotating water faucet and a small pull-out tray at the bottom of the dispenser.

NOTE: When using the dispenser with the faucet rotated, do not use the water dispenser pad. Only use the WATER button

to dispense. Dispensing by pressing the container against the water dispenser pad may result in unintentional spilling.

The tray can be pulled out 2" (5.08 cm) to better support large containers. It is designed to catch small spills and allow for

easy cleaning. There is no drain in the tray. NOTE: The tray can be removed from the dispenser and

carried to the sink to be emptied or cleaned. Pull the tray out until it hits the stop, then gently lift up on the back of the tray

and slide it out the rest of the way.

The Ice Dispenser

Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when the dispenser pad is pressed. The dispensing system will not

operate when the freezer door is open. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice Maker & Storage Bin."

Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by pressing the CUBED or CRUSHED button. 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 pad. 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 pad 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 pad. The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.

A. Faucet rotated 180°

The Dispenser Light (on some models)

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 NIGHT LIGHT.

ON: Press LIGHT to turn the dispenser light on. NIGHT LIGHT: Press LIGHT 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 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, be sure that the light sensor is not blocked (in Night Light mode). See

"Troubleshooting" for more information.

The Dispenser Lock (on some models)

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

ice and water dispensers. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice Maker & Storage Bin."

• Press and hold LOCKOUT for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser.

• Press and hold LOCKOUT a second time to unlock the dispenser.

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

Style 1:

The ON/OFF switch is located on the top right 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.

Style 2:

The ON/OFF switch is located on the ice maker, behind the ice

maker cover door.

• To manually turn off the ice maker, flip the switch to the OFF (bottom) position.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker sensors will automatically stop ice production when the ice

storage bin is full or the freezer door is opened, but the control will remain in the ON 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 bin or bucket. 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 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.

• To turn on the ice maker, flip the switch to the ON (top) position.

NOTE: 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 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

FILTER RESET 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.

REFRIGERATORCARE

Explosion Hazard

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

Changing the Water Filter

1. Press the eject button to release the filter from the base grille.

2. Pull the filter straight out.

3. Turn the cap counterclockwise to remove it from the filter. IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your

refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.

4. Align the ridge on the cap with the arrow on the new filter and 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 protective 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."

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

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. Replacement bulbs are available from your dealer.

• The dispenser lights are LEDs that can not be changed.

• All other lights require a 40-watt bulb.

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.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

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

The refrigerator will not operate

TROUBLESHOOTING

• 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

• Door blocked open? Move food packages away from door.

• Bin or shelf in the way? Push bin or shelf back in the correct position.

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 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.

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.

The lights do not work

• Is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See "Changing the Light Bulbs."

• Is the dispenser light set to ON? The dispenser light will operate only when the levers are pressed. If you want the dispenser light to stay on continuously, set the dispenser light to ON, or NIGHT LIGHT or AUTO. See "Water and Ice

Dispensers."

• Is the dispenser light set to NIGHT LIGHT or AUTO? If the dispenser is set to the NIGHT LIGHT or AUTO mode, be sure the dispenser light sensor is not blocked. See "Water and Ice

Dispensers."

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

Temperature is too warm

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

• Door(s) opened often or left open? Allows warm air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep doors fully

closed.

• Large load of food added? Allow several hours for refrigerator to return to normal temperature.

• Controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions? Adjust the controls a setting colder. Check temperature in

24 hours. See "Using the Controls."

There is interior moisture buildup

The ice dispenser will not operate properly

NOTE: Some moisture buildup is normal.

• Humid room? Contributes to moisture buildup.

• Door(s} opened often or left open? Allows humid air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep doors fully

closed.

The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice

• Refrigerator connected to a water supply and the supply shutoff valve turned on? Connect refrigerator to water supply and turn water shutoff valve fully open.

• Kink in the water source line? A kink in the line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water source line.

• Ice maker turned on? Make sure wire shutoff arm or switch (depending on model) is in the ON position.

• New installation? Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation for ice production to begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice

production.

• Large amount of ice recently removed? Allow 24 hours for ice maker to produce more ice.

• Ice cube jammed in the ice maker ejector arm? Remove ice from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil.

• Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure. See "Water Supply Requirements" in either the Installation Instruction booklet or the Use & Care Guide.

The ice cubes are hollow or small

NOTE: This is an indication of low water pressure.

• Water shutoff valve not fully open? Turn the water shutoff valve fully open.

• Kink in the water source line? A kink in the line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water source line.

• Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure.

See "Water Supply Requirements."

• Questions remain regarding water pressure? Call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Off-taste, odor or gray color in the ice

• New plumbing connections? New plumbing connections can cause discolored or off-flavored ice.

• Ice stored too long? Discard ice. Wash ice bin. Allow 24 hours for ice maker to make new ice.

• Odor transfer from food? Use airtight, moisture proof packaging to store food.

• Are there minerals (such as sulfur) in the water? A water 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.

• Freezer door closed completely? Close the door firmly. If it does not close completely, see "The doors will not close

completely."

• Ice bin installed correctly? Be sure the ice bin is firmly in position.

• New installation? Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation for ice production to begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice

production.

• Ice stuck in the delivery chute? Use a plastic utensil to clear 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? Dump the ice cubes and clean the ice bin.

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.

• Has the dispenser arm 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.

The water dispenser will not operate properly

• Freezer door closed completely? Close the door firmly, If it does not close completely, see "The doors will not close completely."

• Refrigerator connected to a water supply and the supply shutoff valve turned on? Connect refrigerator to water supply and turn water shutoff valve fully open.

• Is the water pressure at least 30 psi? The water pressure to the home determines the flow from the dispenser. See "Water

Supply Requirements."

• Kink in the home water source line? Straighten the water source line.

• New installation? Flush and fill the water system.

• 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.

Water is leaking from the dispenser

NOTE: One or two drops of water after dispensing is normal.

• Glass not being held under the dispenser long enough? Hold the glass under the dispenser 2 to 3 seconds after releasing the dispenser lever.

• New installation? Flush the water system. See "Water and Ice Dispensers."

• Recently changed water filter? Flush the water system. See "Water and Ice Dispensers."

The dispenser water is not cool enough

NOTE: Water from the dispenser is chilled to only 50°F (10°C).

• New installation? Allow 24 hours after installation for the water supply to cool completely.

• Recently dispensed large amount of water? Allow 24 hours for water supply to cool completely.

• Water not been recently dispensed? The first glass of water may not be cool. Discard the first glass of water.

• Refrigerator connected to a cold water pipe? Make sure the refrigerator is connected to a cold water pipe. See "Water

Supply Requirements."
