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 food just 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.

■Is the door 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.

■Are the controls not set correctly for the surrounding conditions?

Refer to the “Setting the Controls” section.

■Are the doors not 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. Refer to the “Cleaning Your Refrigerator” section.

■Are the door gaskets not sealed all the way around? Contact a qualified person or a technician.

NOTE: If the problem is not due to any of the above, remember that 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.

Refer to the “Understanding Sounds You May Hear” section.

The ice maker is not producing ice

■Is the freezer temperature not cold enough to produce ice?

Wait 24 hours after ice maker hook-up for ice production. Refer to the “Setting the Controls” section.

■Is the ice maker wire shut-off arm in the OFF (wire shut- off arm up) position (on some models)?

Lower wire shut-off arm to the ON (wire shut-off arm down) position. See the “Ice Maker and Storage Bin/Bucket” section.

■Is the ice maker switch in the OFF (right) position (on some models)?

Move ice maker switch to the ON (left) position. See the “Ice Maker and Storage Bin/Bucket” section.

■Is the water line shut-off valve to the refrigerator not turned on?

Turn on the water valve. See the “Connecting the Refrigerator to a Water Source” section.

■Is an ice cube jammed in the ejector arm?

For models with an interior ice bin, remove the ice from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil. For models with an ice bucket, access the ice maker by depressing the ice bin sensor door on the upper left side of the freezer interior. While depressing the sensor door, lift the ice maker service door and remove the ice from the ejector with a plastic utensil. Refer to the “Ice Maker and Storage Bin/Bucket” section.

■Does the ice maker mold have water in it?

Check to see if your refrigerator has been connected to your home water supply and the supply shut-off valve is turned on. Refer to the “Connecting the Refrigerator to a Water Source” section.

NOTE: If not due to any of the above, there may be a problem with the water line. Call for service.

The ice maker is producing too little ice

■Has the ice maker just been installed?

Wait 72 hours for full ice production to begin. Once your refrigerator is cooled down, the ice maker should begin producing 70 to 120 cubes every 24 hours.

■Has a large amount of ice just been removed? Allow 24 hours for ice maker to produce more ice.

■Are the controls set correctly?

Refer to the “Setting the Controls” section.

■Is the water shut-off valve turned completely on?

Turn valve on fully. Refer to the “Connecting the Refrigerator to a Water Source” section.

■Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator?

The filter may be clogged or installed incorrectly. 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 a qualified person or a technician.

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.

■Does the freezer and ice bin or bucket need to be cleaned?

See the “Cleaning Your Refrigerator” or “Ice Maker and Storage Bin/Bucket” 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? 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 or 6 to 7 minutes initially). Discard discolored ice.
