Keep hands and tools out of the ice compartment
door and dispenser chute. Damage or personal
injury may result.
The icemaker will stop producing ice when the ice
bin is full. If you need more ice, empty the ice bin
into the extra ice bin in the freezer compartment.
During use, the ice can become uneven causing the
icemaker to misread the amount of ice cubes and
stop producing ice. Shaking the ice bin to level the
ice within it can reduce this problem.
NOTE: Storing cans or other items in the ice bin will
damage the icemaker.
Keep the ice compartment

This could also cause the icemaker to

ADJUSTING

CONTROL

SETTINGS

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely
before making final adjustments.
It is best to wait 24
hours before doing this. The initial settings
mentioned in SETTING THE CONTROLS
section
should be correct for normal household refrigerator
use. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice
is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat
for the entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer
sections). The colder the setting, the longer the
compressor will run to keep the temperature colder.
The freezer control adjusts the cold air flow from the
freezer to the refrigerator. Setting the freezer control
to a lower temperature
keeps more cold air in the
freezer compartment
to make it colder.
If you need to adjust temperatures
in the refrigerator
or freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator and
allow 24 hours for the temperatures
to stabilize. If it
is still too warm or too cold, then adjust the freezer
control.

Always remember to wait at least 24 hours
between adjustments.

Then...

The refrigerator that was replaced was an older
model.

Modern refrigerators with more storage space require more
operating time. Even though this refrigerator may run more
than your older one it will still use less energy.

The room temperature is hotter than normal.

The motor will 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 often.

The door is opened often or a large amount of food
has just been added.

Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator.
It is normal for the refrigerator to run longer in order to coo! the
refrigerator back down. See the Food Storage Guide section
on page 22. 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.

The refrigerator was recently plugged in and the
refrigerator control was set correctly.

The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool completely.

The refrigerator control is not set correctly for the
surrounding conditions.

The gaskets are sticking.

Clean the gaskets and the surfaces that they touch. Rub a thin

cleaning.

The refrigerator wobbles or seems unstable.

Level the refrigerator. Refer to the Leveling and Door

The ice has been stored for too long.

Throw away old ice and make a new supply.

The food has not been wrapped tightly in either
compartment.

Rewrap foods since odors may migrate to the ice if food is not

Reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to your cold water supply.

Reverse osmosis filtration systems can reduce the water
pressure below the minimum amount (40 psi) and result in
icemaker issues.

Kink in the water source line.

A kink in the line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water
source line.

Large amount of ice recently has been
removed.

Allow 24 hours for ice maker to produce more ice.
NOTE: An extra ice bucket is provided in the freezer section
for additional storage.

The icemaker is not turned on.

Locate the icemaker on/off switch and confirm it is in the On (1)
position.

There is something on the ice-detecting
sensor.

Foreign substances or frost on the ice-detecting sensor can
interrupt ice production. Make sure the sensor area is clean at
all times for proper operation.

The temperature setting for the freezer is too
warm.

Below 0°F is the recommended temperature for the freezer
compartment for normal ice production. If the freezer
temperature is warmer, ice production wilt be affected.

The doors are opened often.

If the doors of the unit are opened often, the cold air will
escape which will prevent the unit from maintaining the set
temperature. Lowering the temperature can help, as well as
not opening the doors as frequently.

The doors are not closing properly.

If the doors are not properly closed, ice production will be
affected.

The ice compartment door is not closing
properly.

If the ice compartment door is not properly closed, ice
production will be affected. Make sure ice compartment door is
closed for proper operation.

With this option, the cold air in the compartment is increased

Then...

All the doors are not closed completely.

Ice will not dispense if any of the refrigerator doors are left
open.

The dispenser display is locked.

Press and hold the Lock ( _!!_._ ) for 3 seconds to unlock the
control panel and dispenser.

Ice is not selected on the dispenser.

The ice dispenser is not used often.

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.

Ice bin is not installed correctly.

Be sure to install the ice bin firmly into position.

New installation.

Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation for ice production to
begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice production.

Ice cubes are stuck in the delivery chute.

Use a plastic utensil to clear the delivery chute.

The ice dispenser is stalling while dispensing
"crushed" ice.

Change the ice button from "crushed" to "cubed".
If cubed ice dispenses correctly, depress the button for
"crushed" ice and begin dispensing again.

The filter should be changed every 6 months or more often
depending on usage. The filter can become blocked over time
with foreign particles and reduce the water pressure.

TO OPEN

Check if...

Then...

The gaskets are dirty or sticky.

Clean gaskets and the surfaces that they touch. Rub a thin
coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax on the gaskets after
cleaning.

The door is reopened within a short time after
having been opened.

When you open the door, warmer air enters the refrigerator.
As the warm air cools, it can create a vacuum. If the door is
hard to open, wait 5 minutes to allow the air pressure to
equalize, then see if it opens more easily.

Then...

The air vents are blocked. Cold air circulates from
the freezer to the fresh food section and back
again through air vents in the wall dividing the two
sections.

Locate air vents by using your hand to sense airflow and move
all packages that block vents and restrict airflow. (See air flow
diagram below).

The doors are opened often.

When the door is opened, warm humid air is allowed into the
refrigerator. The more the door is opened, the faster the
humidity builds up, and the more warm air the refrigerator must
cool. In order to keep the refrigerator cool, 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.

The control is not set correctly for the surrounding
conditions.

Refer to the Setting the Controls section on page 18.
Wait 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize or even out. If the
temperature is too cold or too warm, change the setting one
increment at a time.

A large amount of food has just been added to the
refrigerator or freezer,

Adding food warms the refrigerator. It can take a few hours for
the refrigerator to return to normal temperature.

The food is not packaged correctly.

Wrap food tightly and wipe off damp containers prior to storing
in the refrigerator to avoid moisture accumulation. If
necessary, repackage food according to the guidelines in the
Food Storage Guide section on page 22.

The doors are not closing completely.

See Doors will not close completely on page 41.

The weather is humid.

In humid weather, air carries moisture into the refrigerator
when the doors are opened.

A self-defrost cycle was completed.

It is normal for droplets to form on the back wall after the
refrigerator self-defrosts.
