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.
IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
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 panels before operating.
Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
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 or water
(on some models).
SAVETHESEINSTRUCTIONS
Proper DisposalofYourOld Refrigerator
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 'lust a few days." If you 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.
INSTALLINGYOUR
REFRIGERATOR
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 shelves from the shipping position (shelves are
shipped upside down):
1. Grasp the front of the upper shelf with one hand and use the
other hand to remove packing material from the shelf area.
2. Lower the front of the upper shelf until shelf hooks can be
removed from the shelf supports and pull the shelf forward.
3. Flip the shelf over and insert the rear shelf hooks into the
shelf supports. Tilt the front of shelf up until rear shelf hooks
drop into the shelf supports.
4. Lower the front of the shelf and check to make sure that it is
securely in position.
Removing packaging materials
Remove tape and glue from your refrigerator before using. To
remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly with
your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily removed
by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the
adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
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" section.
On some models, shelves, bins, door shelf rails, and other
feature parts may be packaged in the Interior FeaturePak.
Follow the instructions contained in the package for proper
assembly.
Depending on your model, to remove the protective
(transparent) film that is on the nameplate, which is located
on the freezer handle, use your fingernail and peel off the film,
starting from one side and peeling to the other.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the white foam air return insert that
is located behind the control panel on the ceiling of the
refrigerator (on some models). The insert is part of the refrigerator
and not part of the packing material. If the insert is removed, ice
may migrate down from the freezer and cause icicles to form.
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.
Cleaning before use
After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of
your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in
the "Caring for Your Refrigerator" section.
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 re-
moving them to avoid impact from dropping.
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 a
1/2in. (12.70 ram) space on each side.
Allow 3 in. (7.5 cm) of space between overhead cabinets and
refrigerator top,
Allow at least 1 in. (25.40 mm) between back of cabinet and
the wall.
2" (5.08 cm)
If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you leave
some extra space at the back for the water line connections.
If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave
2 in. (5.08 cm) minimum on the hinge side (depending on your
model) to allow for the door to swing open.
Level the refrigerator (see "Door Closing and Alignment").
NOTE: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or
other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall
below 40°F (5°C).
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.
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 ampere 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.
Read all directions carefully before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
If operating the refrigerator before installing the water
connection, turn ice maker to the OFF position to prevent
operation without water.
All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing
code requirements.
Use copper tubing and check for leaks.
Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures will
remain above freezing.
It may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to begin
producing ice.
Tools required:
Standard screwdriver
7/16in. and 1/2in. open-end wrenches or two adjustable
wrenches
1/4in. nut driver
1/4in. drill bit
Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a
1/4in, (6.35 mm) saddle-type shut-off 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 3A6in, (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow
and clogs more easily.
Cold Water Supply
The ice maker water valve contains a flow washer which is used
as a water pressure regulator. The ice maker needs to be
connected to a cold water line with water pressure between 30
and 120 psi. If a problem occurs, call your utility company.
Connecting 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. Find a 1/2in.(12.7 mm) to 11/4in. (3.18 cm) vertical COLD
water pipe near the refrigerator.
NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure
must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the
bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This
also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
4. To determine the length of copper tubing you will need,
measure from connection on lower left rear of refrigerator to
water pipe. Add 7 feet (2.1 m) to allow for moving refrigerator
for cleaning. Use 1/4in. (6.35 mm)O.D. (outside diameter)
copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut
square.
5,
Using a grounded drill, drill a 1/4in. (6.35 mm) hole in the cold
water pipe you have selected.

6. Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be
sure outlet end is solidly in the 1/4in. (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 carefully
and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not
overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing, especially if
soft (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now you are ready to
connect the copper tubing.
7. Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper
tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely
as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end
with 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 tubing until water is
clear. Turn OFF shut-off valve on the water pipe. Coil copper
tubing.
Connecting to refrigerator:
NOTE: The first step for connecting the water line to your
refrigerator is different depending on the type of water valve
provided with your refrigerator. See the diagrams below to
determine the style of valve you have. (On kit models, assemble
water valve to refrigerator per kit instructions.)
1. For Style 1, disconnect the tube clamp on the back of the
product and insert the copper tubing through the clamp, as
shown. Remove the tape label from the valve inlet and insert
copper tubing until it bottoms out (approximately ¾ in. [1.9
cm]). Tighten nut by hand as much as possible; then turn the
nut an additional 1/2turn using a wrench. Do not overtighten.
Re-attach the tube clamp and tube to the back of the cabinet.
Skip to Step 2.
For Style 2, disconnect the tube clamp on the back of the
product and insert copper tubing through the clamp as
shown. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a
compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the
compression nut. Do not overtighten. Re-attach the tube
clamp and tube to the back of the cabinet. Move to Step 2.
2. Turn shut-off valve ON. Check For Leaks. Tighten any
connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that
leak.

3. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If
local water conditions require periodic cleaning or a well is
your source of water supply, a second water strainer should
be installed in the ¼ in. (6.35 mm) water line. Obtain a water
strainer from your nearest appliance dealer. Install at either
tube connection.
4. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers - one on the right
and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you
want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using
the instructions below:
1. Roll out the refrigerator and use a level to check the floor at
the back from side-to-side. If needed, use shims to level the
back of the refrigerator if it is uneven. Roll the refrigerator
back into place with the rear rollers on top of any shim(s)
used so that the rear of the refrigerator is level.
2. With the rear already level and the refrigerator in place, use
the bottom leveling screws to level the refrigerator from side-
to-side. They are part of the front roller assemblies, which are
found at the base of the refrigerator on either side.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws and
rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.

Rattling noises may come from the flow or refrigerant, the
water line, or items stored on top or the refrigerator.
Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep
your rood items at the desired temperature. The high
efficiency compressor may cause your new refrigerator to run
longer than your old one, and you may hear a pulsating or
high-pitched sound.
Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle
may cause a sizzling sound.
You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating the air
through the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to
the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.
Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a
popping noise.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the
condenser fan.
You may hear water running into the drain pan during the
defrost cycle.
USINGYOUR
REFRIGERATOR
3. Depending on your model, to level your refrigerator you may
either turn the screw clockwise to raise that side of the
refrigerator or turn the screw counterclockwise to lower that
side. Place a level on top of the refrigerator to check
adjustments.
4. If the doors do not close on their own, you will need to raise
the front of the refrigerator so it is slightly higher than the
back. To do this, turn both leveling screws clockwise 1/2turn.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to turn both screws an equal amount
or the refrigerator will no longer be level side-to-side.
5. Open doors and check if they close automatically. If not,
repeat steps 3 and 4.
6. Using a level, check to see if the refrigerator is still level side-
to-side. Readjust if necessary.
¸ iii'! i ,iiiiiii iii y....
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't
make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be
concerned about them. Most or the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces, like the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the sounds
seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the
kinds of sounds and what may be making them.
If your product is equipped with an ice maker, you will hear a
buzzing sound when the water valve opens to rill the ice
maker for each cycle.
The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost cycle
begins and ends. Also, the Thermostat Control (or
Refrigerator Control depending on the model) will click when
cycling on and off.
In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit air
flow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in
the illustration, cool air enters through the bottom of the freezer
section and moves up. Most of the air then flows through the
freezer section vents and recirculates under the freezer floor. The
rest of the air enters the refrigerator section through the top vent.
Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the
vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented and temperature and
moisture problems may occur.
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 rood, wrap or cover foods tightly.
(See the "Refrigerator Safety" section for details.)

For your convenience, the refrigerator controls are preset at
the factory. Controls for the refrigerator and freezer are located
in the top of the refrigerator section.
When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the
control(s} are still preset. The control(s) should be at the
"mid-settings" as shown for each style of control.

Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before
adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into
the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled
completely, your rood may spoil. Turning the Refrigerator or
Freezer Control(s) to a higher (colder) than recommended
setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
On models with two controls, the Freezer Control functions as an
airflow director. Setting "1" will direct more of the cold air into the
refrigerator section, while setting "5" (or "T' depending on your
model) will direct more of the cold air into the freezer section. The
cold air flows from the freezer compartment through the top vent
into your fresh food section (see diagram in the "Ensuring Proper
Air Circulation" section). On models with one control, the airflow
does not require adjustment.
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 "mid-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.
For models with two controls:
The Refrigerator Control functions as the thermostat for the entire
product (refrigerator and freezer sections). The higher the number
setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the
temperature colder. The Freezer Control adjusts the cold air flow
from the freezer to the refrigerator.
If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer,
start by adjusting the refrigerator first. Wait 24 hours after the
refrigerator adjustment to check the freezer temperature. If it is
too warm or too cold, then adjust the Freezer Control as well.
For models with a single control:
The Temperature Control functions as the thermostat for the
entire product (refrigerator and freezer sections). The higher the
number setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the
temperature colder.
Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Always
remember to wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

Frozen food storage guide
Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food,
the type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight and
moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. Seal the package
or container securely to prevent taste and odor transfer
throughout the product. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are
normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air
inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.
Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within
24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 Ibs. of rood per cubic root [907-
1,350 g per L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in the
freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave
enough room for the door to close tightly.
NOTE: For more information on preparing food for freezing,
check a freezer guide or reliable cookbook.
DOORFEATI ES
Your model may have some or all of these features. Features that
can be purchased separately as product accessories are labeled

CARINGFORYOUR
REFRIGERATOR
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 prevent
odors from building up. Wipe up spills immediately.
To clean your refrigerator:
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves,
crispers, etc.
3. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior
surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or sort cloth and a
mild detergent in warm water.
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. These can scratch or damage materials.
To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a
mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs. to 1 qt. [26
g to .95 L] or water).
4. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do
not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a sort
cloth.
For additional protection against damage to painted metal
exteriors, apply appliance wax (or auto paste wax) with a
clean, soft cloth. Do not wax plastic parts.
13
5. Clean the condenser coils regularly. Coils may need to be
cleaned as often as every other month. This may help save
energy.
Style 1 - Condenser coils behind base grille:
Remove the base grille (see the "Base Grille" section).
Use a vacuum with an extended attachment to clean the
condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.
Replace the base grille when finished.
Style 2 - Condenser coils in back of the refrigerator:
Pull refrigerator out away from the wall (see the
"Unpacking Your Refrigerator" section).
Vacuum coils when they are dusty or dirty.
Roll refrigerator back into place. Make sure to leave 1 in.
(2.5 cm) between the cabinet back and the wall.
Check to see if the refrigerator is level.
6. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to
replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape, and wattage.
To change the refrigerator light:
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Reach behind the Control Panel and unscrew the bulb.
3. Replace the bulb with a 40-watt appliance bulb.
4. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
If the electricity in your house goes off, call the power company
and ask how long it will be off.
1. If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep both
refrigerator doors closed to help food stay cold and frozen.
2. If the power will be out for more than 24 hours:
a) Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
OR
b) Place 2 Ibs. (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic
foot (28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen
for two to four days.
OR
c) If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume
or can perishable food at once.
REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled
one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of
baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be
refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the
condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.
Vacations
If you choose to leave the refrigerator on while you're away,
use these steps to prepare your refrigerator before you leave.
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
Raise wire shut-off arm to OFF (up) position or move the
switch to the OFF (right) setting.
Shut off water supply to the ice maker.
3. Empty the ice bin.
If you choose to turn the refrigerator off before you leave,
follow these steps.
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day
ahead of time.
When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shut-off
arm to the OFF (up) position or move the switch to the
OFF (right) setting.
3. Depending on your model, turn the Thermostat Control or
Refrigerator Control to OFF See the "Setting the Controls"
section.
4. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.
5. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop
them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and
mold from building up.
Moving
When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home, follow
these steps to prepare it for the move.
1. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day
ahead of time.
Disconnect the water line from the back of the
refrigerator.
When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shut-off
arm to the OFF (up) position or move the switch to the
OFF (right) setting.
2. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen food
in dry ice.
3. Empty the ice bin.
4. Depending on your model, turn the Thermostat Control or
Refrigerator Control to OFF See the "Setting the Controls"
section.
5. Unplug the refrigerator.
6. Empty water from the defrost pan.
7. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.
8. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don't shift and rattle during the move.
9. Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator so
it rolls more easily OR screw in the leveling legs so they don't
scrape the floor. See the "Door Closing" or "Leveling Your
Refrigerator" section.

evaporate. This is normal when it is hot or humid.
The motor seems to run too much
Is the room temperature hotter than normal?
Expect the motor to run longer under warm conditions. At
normal room temperatures, expect your motor to run about
40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it
to run even more of the time.
Has a large amount of foodjust been added to the
refrigerator?
Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. It is
normal for the motor to run longer in order to cool the
refrigerator back down. See the "Refrigerator Features"
section.
Are the doors opened often?
Expect the motor to run longer when this occurs. In order to
conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the
refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find,
and close the door as soon as the food is removed.
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions?
See the "Setting the Control(s)" section.
Are the doors closed completely?
Push the doors firmly shut. If they will not shut all the way, see
"The doors will not close completely" later in this section.
Are the condenser coils dirty?
This prevents air transfer and makes the motor work harder.
Clean the condenser coils. See the "Cleaning Your
Refrigerator" section.
NOTE: Your new refrigerator will run longer than your old one due
to its high efficiency motor.
The refrigerator seems to make too much noise
The sounds may be normal for your refrigerator.
See the "Understanding Sounds You May Hear" section.
The ice maker is not producing ice
Is the freezer temperature cold enough to produce ice?
Wait 24 hours after hook-up for ice production. See the

the filter installation instructions to ensure that the filter was
installed correctly and is not clogged. If installation or
clogging is not a problem, call a technician or other qualified
person.
15
Off-taste, odor or grey color in the ice
Are the plumbing connections new, causing discolored or
off-flavored ice?
Discard the first few batches of ice.
Have the ice cubes been stored for too long?
Throw old ice away and make a new supply.
Has food in the refrigerator been wrapped properly?
See the "Refrigerator Features" section.
Do the freezer and ice bin need to be cleaned?
See the "Cleaning Your Refrigerator" section.
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?
Grey or dark discoloration in ice indicates that the water
filtration system needs additional flushing. Run additional
water through the water dispenser to flush the water filtration
system more thoroughly at least 2 to 3 gallons (8 to12 L) or 6
to 7 minutes initially. Discard discolored ice.
The water dispenser will not operate properly
Has the water system not filled?
The water system needs to be filled the first time it is used.
Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser bar
until the water begins to flow. Flush the water system by
dispensing and discarding 2 to 3 gallons (8 to 12 L) of water.
Cleaning the system will take approximately 6 to 7 minutes
and will help clear air from the line. Additional flushing may be
required in some households. See the "Water Dispenser"
section.
Is the water shut-off valve not turned on or the water line
connected at the source?
Check to be sure the water shut-off valve is turned on and the
water source is connected to the refrigerator. See the
"Connecting the Refrigerator to a Water Source" section for
directions.

Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator?
The filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. First, check
the filter installation instructions to ensure that the filter was
installed correctly and is not clogged. If installation or
clogging is not a problem, call for service.
Water leaking from the dispenser
9,",' __
Is the glass not being held under the water dispenser long
enough, causing water to drip?
Hold the container under the water dispenser two to three
seconds after releasing the dispenser lever. Water may
continue to dispense during this time.
Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator?
The water filtration system may have air in the lines, causing
water to drip. Additional flushing may help clear air from the
lines. Normal dispenser use should flush air from the lines
within 24 to 72 hours.
The dispenser water is not cool enough
Has the refrigerator been newly installed?
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool completely.
Has a large amount of water been recently dispensed?
Allow 24 hours for the water to cool completely.
Has water not been recently dispensed?
The first glass of water may not be cool. Discard the first
glass of water.
Water flow from the dispenser decreases noticeably
Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator?
The filter may be full or incorrectly installed. Depending on
your model, remove the water filter cartridge (see the "Interior
Water Filtration System" section.) Operate the dispenser. If
the water flow increases noticeably, your filter is full and
needs to be replaced.
The divider between the two compartments is warm
The warmth is probably due to normal operation of the
automatic exterior moisture control. If still concerned, call for
service.
Temperature istoo warm
Are the air vents blocked in either compartment? This
prevents the movement of cold air from the freezer to the
refrigerator.
Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. See the

is easy to find, and close the door as soon as the food is
removed.
Has a large amount of food just been added to the
refrigerator or freezer?
Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. It can
take several hours for the refrigerator to return to the normal
temperature.
Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding
conditions?
See the "Setting the Controls" section.
There is interior moisture build-up
Are the air vents blocked in the refrigerator?
Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. See the
"Ensuring Proper Air Circulation" section for the location of air
vents.
Are the door(s) opened often?
Toavoid humidity build-up, try to get everything you need out
of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy
to find, and close the door as soon as the food is removed.
(When the door is opened, humidity from the room air enters
the refrigerator. The more often the door is opened, the faster
humidity builds up, especially when the room itself is very
humid.)

Is the room humid?
It is normal for moisture to build up inside the refrigerator
when the room air is humid.
Is the food packaged correctly?
Check that all food is securely wrapped. Wipe off damp food
containers before placing in the refrigerator.
Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding
conditions?
See the "Setting the Controls" section.
Was a self-defrost cycle completed?
It is normal for droplets to form on the back wall after the
refrigerator self-defrosts.
The doors are difficult to open
Are the gaskets dirty or sticky?
Clean gaskets and the surface that they touch. Rub a thin
coat of paraffin wax on the gaskets following cleaning.
The doors will not close completely
Are food packages blocking the door open?
Rearrange containers so that they fit more tightly and take up
less space.
Is the ice bin out of position?
