REFRIGERATOR SAFETY
Proper Disposal of
Your Old Refrigerator
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.” 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.
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.
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:

BEFORE USE
Removing packaging materials
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning
on the refrigerator. Rub 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 the Refrigerator Safety section.
Cleaning before use
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside
of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions
in the Refrigerator Care section.
REFRIGERATOR USE
Power On/Off Switch
If you need to turn the power to your refrigerator ON or OFF, you
must remove the top grille to gain access to the On/Off switch.
Turn the power to the refrigerator OFF when cleaning or changing
light bulbs.
Remove and replace top grille
Remove top grille:
1. Grasp both ends of the top grille.
2. Push the top grille straight up, then pull straight out. Lay the
top grille on a soft surface.
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.
1. Top grille
2. Cabinet side trims

into the slots on the side trim.
2. Pull grille down slightly to lock into place.
Turn Power On or Off:
1. Remove top grille.
2. Press main power switch to the ON or OFF position.
3. Replace top grille.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the power switch is set to the ON position
after cleaning refrigerator or changing light bulbs.
Water System Preparation
Please read before using the water system.
Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make
sure that the water system is properly cleaned.
1. Open the freezer door and turn off the ice maker. For Style 1
lift up the wire shutoff arm as shown. For Style 2 move the
switch to the OFF (right) setting as shown. The ON/OFF
switch is located on the top right side of the freezer
compartment.
Style 1 Non-Dispenser Models
Style 2 Dispenser Models
NOTES:
If your model has a base grille filter system, make sure the
base grille filter is properly installed and the cap is in the
horizontal position.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
2. 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 gal. (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.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out
of the dispenser.
3. Open the freezer door and turn on the ice maker. For Style 1
lower the wire shutoff arm. For Style 2 move the switch to the
ON (left) position. Please refer to the Ice Maker and Storage
Bin section for further instructions on the operation of your
ice maker.
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
Discard the first three batches of ice produced.
Depending on your model, you may want to select the
maximum ice feature to increase the production of ice.
Normal Sounds
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didnt
make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces, such as the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the
sounds seem louder. 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 fill the ice
maker for each cycle.
Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep
your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize
energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may
cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You
may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the
compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.
You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through
the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The fan speed
may increase as you open the doors or add warm food.
Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the
water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.
Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle
may cause a sizzling sound.
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.

Ensuring Proper Air
Circulation
In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit
airflow between the two sections. Cold air enters the bottom of
the freezer section and moves up. It then enters the refrigerator
section through the top vent. Air then returns to the freezer as
shown.
Do not block any of these vents with food such as soda, cereal,
bread, etc. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented and
the temperature controls will not function properly.
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 from food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
Using the Controls
IMPORTANT:
The refrigerator control adjusts the refrigerator compartment
temperature. The freezer control adjusts the freezer
compartment temperature.
Wait 24 hours after you turn on the refrigerator before you put
food into it. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled
completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer controls to a
lower (colder) setting will not cool the compartments any
faster.
If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or
freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not
blocked before adjusting the controls.
The preset settings should be correct for normal household
usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as
cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
NOTE: The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for
the freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.
Turning Refrigerator On and Viewing Set Points
Press and hold POWER (ON/OFF) for 2 seconds.
Viewing the Celsius Temperatures
Press °C SELECT touch pad. The negative sign (-) will light
up. To redisplay degrees Fahrenheit, press °C SELECT again.
NOTE: If the freezer temperature is below zero, the negative sign
next to the freezer display will light up. This is normal.
Adjusting Controls
The set point range for the freezer is -5°F to 5°F (-21°C to
-13°C). The set point range for the refrigerator is 34°F to 46°F
(1°C to 8°C).
Press the refrigerator or freezer PLUS (+) or MINUS (-) key
pad until the desired temperature is reached.
NOTE: Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck
the temperatures before other adjustments are made.
WATER FILTER Status & Reset
NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe
or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may
be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable
cysts.
The water filter display will help you know when it is time to
change your filter. To change the filter, see the Water Filtration
System section.

REFRIGERATOR
FEATURES
Water and Ice Dispensers
(onsomemodels)
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 accidental
dispensing.
The Ice Dispenser
Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer. When
the dispenser lever is pressed:
A trap door opens in a chute between the dispenser and the
ice bin. Ice moves from the bin and falls through the chute.
When you release the dispenser lever, the trap door closes
and the ice dispensing stops. The dispensing system will not
operate when the freezer door is open.
To dispense ice:
1. Press button for the desired type of ice.
For cubed ice, press the CUBES button.
For crushed ice, press the CRUSHED button.
NOTE: 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 Cubes, a few ounces of
crushed ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.
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: The first few batches of ice may have an off-flavor
from new plumbing and parts. Throw the ice away. Also, take
large amounts of ice from the ice bin, not through the
dispenser.
The Water Dispenser
If you did not flush the water system when the refrigerator was
first installed, press the water dispenser lever with a glass or jar
until you draw and discard 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) or approximately
6 to 7 minutes of water after water begins dispensing. It will take
3 to 4 minutes for the water to begin dispensing. The water you
draw and discard cleans the system and helps clear air from the
lines. Allow several hours for the refrigerator to cool down and
chill water.
To dispense water:
1. Press a glass against the water dispenser lever.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh
supply.
IMPORTANT: Depending on your model, the small removable
tray at the bottom of the dispenser is designed to catch small
spills and allow for easy cleaning. There is no drain in the tray.
The tray can be removed from the dispenser and carried to the
sink to be emptied or cleaned.
WARNING
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice or water.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
8
The Dispenser Light
The dispenser area has a light. It can be turned on or off manually
by pressing the ON or OFF button.
When you use the dispenser the lever will automatically turn the
light on.
NOTE: See the Changing the Light Bulbs section for
information on changing the dispenser light bulb.
The Dispenser Lock
(on some models)
Your dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to prevent
accidental dispensing by small children and pets.
To lock and unlock the dispenser
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 levers.
1. Press the LOCK button. The ice and water dispensers will not
work.
2. Press the UNLOCK button. Then, continue to dispense ice or
water as usual.
Water Filtration System
The Base Grille Water Filter Status Light
The water filter indicator display will help you know when to
change your water filter cartridge. The display or light is located
at the top of the refrigerator compartment.
NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe
or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may
be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable
cysts.
A new water filter should display a reading of 99% and will
continue to decrease as the filter life is used. When display reads
10%, it is time to order a replacement filter. It is recommended
that you replace the base grille water filter cartridge when the
water filter indicator light changes to 0% OR when water flow to
your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably. (See
Changing the Base Grille Filter later in this section.)
After changing the water filter cartridge, reset the water filter
status light by pressing and holding the RESET for 2 seconds.
The indicator light will change to 99% when the filter indicator is
reset.
Changing the Base Grille Filter
1. Locate the water filter cartridge cap in the front base grille.
Rotate the cap counterclockwise to a vertical position and
pull the cap and filter cartridge out through the base grille.
NOTE: There will be water in the cartridge. Some spilling may
occur.
2. Remove the cartridge cap by sliding it off the end of the old
cartridge. The cap will slide to the left or right. DO NOT
DISCARD THE CAP.
3. Take the new cartridge out of its packaging and remove
protective cover from o-rings.
4. Slide the cartridge cap onto the new cartridge. See
illustration in Step 2.
5. With cartridge cap in the vertical position, push the new filter
cartridge into the base grille until it stops. Rotate the cartridge
cap clockwise to a horizontal position. Flush the water
system (see Flushing the Water System After Replacing
Filter section).
Flushing the Water System After Replacing Filter
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 gal. (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.
9
Using the Dispenser Without the Water Filter
You can run the dispenser without a water filter cartridge. Your
water will not be filtered.
1. Remove the base grille water filter cartridge.
2. Slide the cartridge cap off the end of the filter cartridge. DO
NOT DISCARD THE CAP. With the cartridge cap in the
vertical position, insert the cap into the base grille until it
stops.
3. Rotate the cartridge cap to a horizontal position. The
cartridge cap might not be even with the base grille.
Refrigerator Shelves
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your
individual storage needs.
Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and
adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make
finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the
amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and save energy.
Shelves
1. Remove the shelf by tilting it up at the front and lifting it out of
the shelf supports. Pull shelf straight out.
2. Reposition the shelf supports in the desired location. Check
that they are level and securely in position.
3. Place the back of the shelf in the shelf supports.
4. Lower the front of the shelf and check to make sure that it is
securely in position.
Deli Pan
The deli pan is temperature-controlled.
The temperature in the deli pan can be set to meet the National
Livestock and Meat Board recommended storage temperature
range of 28°F to 32°F (-2°C to 0°C) for fresh meats. See Deli Pan
Temperature Control.
The rubber air connector (located in the back of the meat drawer)
directs air from the air supply hole into the meat drawer. If the air
connector comes off, replace it by pushing it into the square
opening on the back of the drawer.
Remove and replace the deli pan cover:
1. Remove the food from the deli pan cover.
2. Pull the pan out about 4 in. (10.16 cm). Reach under the glass
shelf with both hands and lift gently upward until back of shelf
is free.
3. Tilt the shelf at an angle and remove the shelf from the
refrigerator being careful not to bump the glass.
4. Replace the deli pan cover. Hold the deli pan cover firmly with
both hands. Tilt the cover at an angle and position it above
the shelf supports. Place the shelf gently on supports.
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.
10
Deli Pan Temperature
Control
The deli pan control adjusts the storage temperature of the deli
pan. Cold air flows into the deli pan through the air duct between
the freezer and the refrigerator. Setting the controls allows more
or less cold air through the air duct. See Deli Pan.
Adjust the deli pan temperature:
If a colder temperature is needed, turn the control toward
COLDER.
IMPORTANT: If a food item freezes in the deli pan or crisper,
or the water dispenser stops working, turn the deli pan
temperature control to COLD. If the water dispenser stops
working, water in the line may have frozen.
If a less cold temperature is needed, turn the control toward
COLD.
Turning the control all the way to COLD will shut off the air
duct completely.
Meat Storage Guide

FREEZER FEATURES
Ice Maker and Storage Bin
(onsomemodels-Accessory)
Style 1: Non-Dispenser Models
Turn the ice maker on/off:
The on/off switch for the ice maker is a wire shutoff arm located
on the side of the ice maker.
1. To turn the ice maker on, lower the wire shutoff arm.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is
made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice
cubes will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up)
position.
2. To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shutoff arm to
the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure
the ice maker will not continue to operate.
Increase ice production rate:
In normal ice production, the ice maker should produce
approximately 7 to 9 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If ice is
not being made fast enough, turn the Freezer Control toward a
higher (colder) number. Wait 24 hours between each increase.
Remove and replace the ice bin:
1. Flip up the covering panel.
1. Ice maker cover
2. Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up)
position. Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can be
made.
3. Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull the ice bin forward.
4. Replace the bin by pushing it in all the way or the dispenser
will not work. Push the wire shutoff arm down to the ON
position to restart ice production. Make sure the door is
closed tightly.
Style 2: Dispenser Models
Turn the ice maker on/off:
The On/Off switch is located on the top right side of the freezer
compartment.
1. To turn the ice maker on, slide the control to the ON (left)

REMEMBER
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 3 days
to completely fill ice container.
Discard the first three batches of ice produced to avoid
impurities that may be flushed out of the system.
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.
It is normal for the ice cubes to be attached at the corners.
They will break apart easily.
For Style 1 ice maker, do not force the wire shutoff arm up or
down.
Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice
storage bin.
Freezer Shelf
1. Remove the shelf by lifting it up and pulling it straight out.
2. Replace the shelf by putting it over the supports and lowering
it into place.
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. 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 lbs. of food per cubic foot
[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.
For more information on preparing food for freezing, check a
freezer guide or reliable cookbook.
Freezer Basket
The freezer basket can be used to store bags of frozen fruits and
vegetables that may slide off freezer shelves.
Remove and replace the freezer basket:
1. Pull the basket forward out to the stop.
2. Lift the front of the basket and slide it out the rest of the way.
3. Replace the basket by positioning it on the side wall guide
rails. Lift the basket front slightly while pushing it past the
guide rail stops and slide basket in the rest of the way.

CARE
Cleaning
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. Remove the top grille. See Power On/Off Switch.
2. Press power switch to OFF.
3. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves,
crispers, etc.
4. 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.
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] of water).
5. 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 soft
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.
6. Clean the condenser coils located behind the top grille
ventilation panel regularly. Coils may need to be cleaned as
often as every other month. This may help save energy.
Use a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to
clean the condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.
7. Clean defrost pan using mild detergent in warm water. Dry
thoroughly.
Remove the base grille by removing a screw at each end.
Remove the defrost pan by pushing up on the retaining
clip under the refrigerator while sliding the pan forward.
Replace the defrost pan by positioning the edge of the

bulb.
1. Dispenser Light
Refrigerator Control Panel Light
Reach behind the refrigerator control panel to remove and
replace light bulb.
Freezer and Crisper Lights
Remove the light shield by grasping the sides and squeezing
in toward the center. Once the side hooks of shield are free
from the freezer or crisper lining, pull down the shield.
Replace the light shield by squeezing the sides toward the
center and inserting the side hooks into the slotted holes.
Once the side hooks are in place, snap the front tab into the
slotted hole.
Power Interruptions
If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door or
doors closed (depending on your model) to help food stay cold
and frozen.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the
following:
Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
Place 2 lbs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot
(28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for 2 to
4 days.
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.
Vacation and Moving Care
Vacations
If you choose to leave the refrigerator on while youre
away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
Raise wire shutoff arm to OFF (up) position or move the

conditions? Refer to the Using the Control(s) section.
Are the doors not closed completely? Close the doors
firmly. If they do not close completely, 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.
Refer to the Cleaning section.
Are the door gaskets not sealed all the way around?
Contact a technician or other qualified person.
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
Normal Sounds section.
The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice
Has the ice maker just been installed? The ice bin holds
14 to 17 lbs. (6.4 to 7.7 kg) of ice. The ice bin can take three
to four days to completely fill, if no ice is used during this
time.
Is the freezer temperature cold enough to produce ice?
Wait 24 hours after ice maker hookup for ice production. See
the Using the Control(s) section.
Is the ice maker wire shutoff arm in the OFF (arm up)
position (on some models)? Lower the wire shutoff arm to
the ON (arm down) position. See the Ice Maker and Storage

used during this time.
Are the controls set correctly? See the Using the
Control(s) section.
Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The
filter may be clogged or installed incorrectly. 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 a technician or other qualified person.
NOTE: If not due to any of the above, there may be a problem
with the water line. Call for service.
Off-taste, odor or gray 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 too long? Throw old ice
away and make a new supply.
Does the freezer and ice bin need to be cleaned? See the
Cleaning or Ice Maker and Storage Bin section.
Has food in the freezer or refrigerator been wrapped
properly? Use airtight, moisture-proof packaging to help
prevent odor transfer to stored food.
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. Run additional water
through the water dispenser to flush the water filtration
system more thoroughly (at least 2 to 3 gal. [8 to 12 L] or 6 to
7 minutes initially). Discard discolored ice.
The ice dispenser will not operate properly

shut. If it will not shut all the way, see The doors will not
close completely later in this section.
Is the ice bin installed correctly? For models with an interior
ice bin, push the ice bin in all the way. If the ice bin does not
go in all the way, it may not be put in straight. Pull it out and
try again. For models with an ice bin located on the freezer
door, the bin should sit level. To remove the bin, press the
release button on the right side of the bin and lift straight up.
Replace the bin in the door making sure it is properly aligned
and snapped securely into place. Refer to the Ice Maker and
Storage Bin section.
Has the wrong ice been added to the bin? Use only cubes
produced by the current ice maker. If other cubes have been
added, remove all cubes and check to see that none have
become stuck in the delivery chute.
Has the ice frozen in the ice bin? Shake the ice bin to
separate cubes. If cubes do not separate, empty bin and wait
24 hours for ice to restock.
Has the ice melted around the auger (metal spiral) in the
ice bin? Dump the ice cubes and clean the ice bin
completely. Allow 24 hours for the ice maker to restock. Do
not try to remove the melted ice with a sharp object. You
could damage the ice bin.
Is ice stuck in the delivery chute? Clear the ice from the
delivery chute with a plastic utensil. Do not use anything
sharp to remove the ice. You could cause damage.
Is the ice dispenser stalling while dispensing crushed
ice? Stop dispensing ice. Change the ice button from
crushed to cubed. Depress the ice dispenser arm using a
sturdy glass. If cubed ice dispenses correctly, depress the
button for crushed ice and begin dispensing again. Refer to
the Water and Ice Dispensers section.
Is there ice in the bin? See The ice maker is not producing
ice earlier in this section.
Has the dispenser arm been held in too long? Release
dispenser arm. Ice will stop dispensing when the arm is held
in too long. Wait three minutes for dispenser motor to reset
before using again. It is best to take large amounts of ice
directly from the ice bin, not through the dispenser.
Ice bin difficult to remove
Is the ice bin difficult to remove (on some models)? For
models with an ice bin located on the freezer door, select
cubed ice. Using a sturdy glass, quickly depress and
release the ice dispenser arm. Open the freezer door, depress
the release button on the ice bin and lift upward. Refer to the
Ice Maker and Storage Bin section.
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 gal. (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 and Ice Dispensers section.
Is the water shutoff valve not turned on or the water line
connected at the source? Make sure the water shutoff valve
is turned on and the water source is connected to the
refrigerator. See the Connect Water Line to Refrigerator
section in the Installation Instructions.
Is the water shutoff valve clogged or incorrectly installed?
See the Connect Water Line to Refrigerator section in the
Installation Instructions. If clogging or installation is not a
problem, call for service or contact a plumber.
Is there a kink in the home water source line? If you find or
suspect a kink in the water line, call for service.
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.
17
Water or ice is leaking from the dispenser
Is the glass not being held under the ice dispenser long
enough, causing the ice to spill? Hold the container under
the ice chute for two to three seconds after releasing the
dispenser lever. Water or ice may continue to dispense during
this time.
Is an ice cube stuck in the chute and holding the trap
door open? Remove the cube.
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.
Water flow from the dispenser decreases noticeably
Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator?
The filter may be full or incorrectly installed. Remove the
water filter cartridge (see the Water Filtration System
section). Operate the dispenser. If the water flow increases
noticeably, replace the filter.
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.
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 is too 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 Ensuring Proper Air Circulation section for the
location of air vents.
Are the door(s) opened often? The refrigerator will warm
when this occurs. Keep the refrigerator cool by getting all
items out at one time, keeping food organized, and closing
the door as soon as possible.
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 Using the Control(s) section.
Is the refrigerator not cooling? For models with digital
controls, turn the unit OFF then ON again to reset. See the
Using the Control(s) section. If this does not correct the
problem, call for service.
There is interior moisture buildup
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? Avoid humidity buildup by
getting all items out at one time, keeping food organized, and
closing the door as soon as possible.
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 Using the Control(s) section.
Was a self-defrost cycle completed? It is normal for
droplets to form after the refrigerator self-defrosts.
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? For models with an interior ice
bin, push the ice bin in all the way. If the ice bin does not go in
all the way, it may not be put in straight. Pull it out and try
again. For models with an ice bin located on the freezer door,
the bin should sit level. To remove the bin, press the release
button on the right side of the bin and lift straight up. Replace
the bin in the door making sure it is properly aligned and
snapped securely into place. See the Ice Maker and Storage
Bin section.
Are the pans, shelves, bins, or baskets out of position?
