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.

Use airtight, moisture-proof packaging to help prevent odor transfer to stored food.

Does the water contain minerals (such as sulfur)?

Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? Grey or dark discoloration in ice indicates that the water filtration system needs additional flushing.

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?

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?

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?
