■Are the controls set correctly? See “Using the Control(s).”

■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 or bucket need to be cleaned? See the “Cleaning” or “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

■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 6 qt. [5.7 L] or 3 to 4 minutes initially). Discard discolored ice.

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 “Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” 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 “Using the Control(s).”

■Is the refrigerator not cooling? For models with digital controls, turn the unit OFF then ON again to reset. See “Using the Control(s).” 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 “Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” 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 “Using the Control(s).”

■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? 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. See “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

■Are the pans, shelves, bins, or baskets out of position? Put the crisper cover and all pans, shelves, bins, and baskets back into their correct positions. See “Crisper and Crisper Covers.”

■Are the gaskets sticking? Clean gaskets according to the directions in “Cleaning.”

■Does the refrigerator wobble or seem unstable? Level the refrigerator. See “Adjust Doors” and “Level Refrigerator” in the Installation Instructions.

The doors are difficult to open

■Are the gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets according to the directions in “Cleaning.”
