If the doors are not properly closed, ice production

 

 

 

 

will be affected. See the Doors will not close

Dispensing water

Water filter has been exhausted.

It is recommended that you replace the water filter:

 

slowly.

 

 

Approximately every six months.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the water filter indicator turns on.

 

 

 

 

When the water dispenser output decreases.

 

 

 

 

When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.

pressure below the minimum amount and result in

 

 

 

 

icemaker issues.

 

 

 

 

If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact

 

 

 

 

a plumber.

 

 

Low house water supply pressure.

The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi

 

 

 

 

(140 and 830 kPa) on models without a water filter

 

 

 

 

and between 40 and 120 psi (280 and 830 kPa) on

 

 

 

 

models with a water filter.

 

 

 

 

If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact

 

 

 

 

a plumber.

 

Not dispensing ice.

Doors are not closed completely.

Ice will not dispense if any of the refrigerator doors

 

 

 

 

are left open.

 

 

Infrequent use of the dispenser.

Infrequent use of the ice dispenser will cause the cubes

 

 

 

 

to stick together over time, which will prevent them

 

 

 

 

from properly dispensing. Check the ice bin for ice

 

 

 

 

cubes clumping/sticking together. If they are, break up

 

 

 

 

the ice cubes to allow for proper operation.

 

 

The delivery chute is clogged with

ice bin and clearing the chute with a plastic utensil.

 

 

 

 

Dispensing cubed ice can also help prevent frost or ice

 

 

 

 

fragment buildup.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The dispenser display is locked.

Press and hold the Lock button for three seconds to

 

 

 

 

unlock the control panel and dispenser.

 

 

Ice bin is empty.

It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to

 

 

 

 

reach the desired temperature and for the icemaker

 

 

 

 

to begin making ice. Make sure that the shutoff (arm/

 

 

 

 

sensor) is not obstructed.

 

 

 

 

Once the ice supply in the bin has been completely

 

 

 

 

exhausted, it my take up to 90 minutes before

 

 

 

 

additional ice is available, and approximately 24

 

 

 

 

hours to completely refill the bin.
