Page 21

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.

The ice dispenser will not operate properly

•Is the freezer door closed completely?

Push the door firmly shut. If it will not shut all the way, see "The doors will not close completely" later in this section.

Is the ice bin or bucket 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 bucket, the bucket should sit level on the freezer door. To

remove the bucket, press the release button on the right side of the bucket and lift straight up. Replace the bucket in the door making sure it is properly aligned and snapped securely into place. Refer to the "Ice Maker and Storage Bin/Bucket" section.

Has the wrong ice been added to the bin or bucket? 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 or bucket?

Shake the ice bin or bucket to separate cubes. If cubes do

not separate, empty bin or bucket and wait 24 hours for ice to restock.

Has the ice melted around the auger (metal spiral) in the ice bucket?

Dump the ice cubes and clean the ice bucket 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 bucket.

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 there ice in the bucket?

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. (For future use, take large amounts of ice directly from the ice bin or bucket, so that the dispenser arm is net held in too long.)

The water dispenser will not operate properly

Is the freezer door not closed completely?

Push the door firmly shut. If it will not shut all the way, see "The doors will not close completely" later in this section.

Has the water system not filled?

The water system needs to be filled the first time it is used. Depress the water dispenser bar with a large container until you draw 2 to 3 gallons (8 to 12 L) of water. Discard water.

Refer to the "Water and Ice Dispensers" 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. Refer to the "Connecting the Refrigerator to a Water Source" section for directions.

Is the water shut-off valve clogged or incorrectly installed?

Refer to the "Connecting the Refrigerator to a Water Source" section. 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.

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. A small amount of ice may dispense after the lever is released.

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 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.
