Youwill be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage only.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
personal injury when using your product, basic
safety precautions should be followed, including
the following.
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
• NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it
straight out from the outlet.
• Repair or replace immediately all electric service
cords that have become frayed or otherwise
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or
abrasion damage along its length or at either the
plug or connector end.
• Do not modify or extend the power cord length. It
could cause electric shock or fire.
• When moving your refrigerator away from the wall,
be careful not to roll over or damage the power
cord.
DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
• DO NOT allow children to climb, stand, or hang on
the refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator.
They could damage the refrigerator and seriously
injure themselves.
• Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances
between the doors and cabinet are necessarily
small. Be careful closing doors when children are in
the area.
Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making
any repairs.
NOTE:We strongly recommend that any servicing
be performed by a qualified individual.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
5
Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug
the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit
breaker or fuse box in order to avoid contact with a
live wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may
break when being replaced.)
NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting
and service should be performed by a qualified
technician.
NOTE: Setting either or both controls to the OFF
position does not remove power to the light circuit.
• When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to
the electrical source and reset the controls.
(Thermostat, Refrigerator Control, and or Freezer
Control, depending on the model) to the desired
setting.
• This refrigerator must be properly installed in
accordance with the Attention Installer
Instructions that were taped to the front of the
refrigerator.
• After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch
the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when
hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the
extremely cold surfaces.
In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid
contact with the moving parts of the ejector
mechanism, or with the heating element that
releases the cubes. DO NOT place fingers or
hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism
while the refrigerator is plugged in.
DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely. The United States Department of
Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69
says:
...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have
thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are
still cold-- below 4°C.
...Thawed ground meats, poultry or fish that have
any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and
should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be
discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor
or questionable, dispose of it. The food may be
dangerous to eat.
Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the
eating quality of foods, particularly fruits,
vegetables and prepared foods. The eating quality
of red meats is affected less than that of many
other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as
possible to save as much of their quality as you
can.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Junked or abandoned refrigerators are
dangerous...even if they will sit for just a few days. If
you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please
follow the instructions at right to help prevent
accidents (Child entrapment and suffocation).
BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY
YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR
OR FREEZER
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that
children may not easily climb inside.
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that
used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are
believed to harm stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make
sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper
disposal by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally
release this CFC refrigerant, you can be subject to
fines and imprisonment under provisions of
environmental legislation.
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Electrical Shock Hazard
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must
be properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and
the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
3-prong
grounding type
wall receptacle _.
3-prong_
groundingplug
Ensure proper
ground exists
before use.
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual properly grounded electrical outlet
rated for 115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15
or 20 amperes. This provides the best performance
and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard from overheated
wires. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off with a
switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.
Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded three-prong wall outlet.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Do not use an adapter plug.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation,
cleaning, or removing a light bulb, disconnect the
refrigerator from the electrical source.
NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and
service should be performed by a qualified
technician.
When you are are finished, reconnect the refrigerator
to the electrical source and reset the control
(Thermostat, Refrigerator Control, or Freezer
Control, depending on the model) to the desired
setting.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use
an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it
be a UL-listed (USA), 3-wire grounding type
appliance extension cord having a grounding type
plug and outlet, and that the electrical rating of the
cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance
needed for the back of the refrigerator.

UNPACKING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Remove tape and any temporary labels from your
refrigerator before using. Do not remove any
warning-type labels, the model and serial number
label, or the Tech Sheet that is located under the
front of the refrigerator, behind the base cover.
To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area
briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can
also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of
liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers.

position.
Please reinstall shelves according to your individual
storage needs.
When Moving Your Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the
refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to
protect the floor. Always pull the refrigerator
straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or
walk the refrigerator when trying to move it, as
floor damage could occur.
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or
fire.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install
the refrigerator in a wet or damp area.
• Select a place where a water supply can be easily
connected for the automatic icemaker.
• , CAUTION: Avoid placing the unit near heat
sources, direct sunlight or moisture.

INSTALLATION
• To minimize noise and vibration, the refrigerator
MUST be installed on a solidly constructed floor.
• Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not
recommended.
• Never install the refrigerator on a platform or
weakly supported structure.
1. To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled.
If required, adjust the leveling legs to compensate
for unevenness of the floor. The front should be
slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing.
Leveling legs can be turned easily by tipping the
cabinet slightly. Turn the leveling legs clockwise
( .L._ ) to raise the unit, counterclockwise ( _,'_" )
to lower it.
(See Leveling and Alignment: on page 17.)
2. Install this appliance in an area where the
temperature is between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F
(43°C.) If the temperature around the appliance is
too low or high, cooling ability may be adversely
affected.
3. Too small a distance from adjacent items may
result in lowered freezing capability and increased
electricity consumption charges. Allow at least 24
inches (61 cm) in front of the refrigerator to open
the doors.
PRIOR TO USE
1. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off all
dust accumulated during shipping.
2. Install accessories such as ice cube bin, drawers,
shelves, etc., in their proper places. They are
packed together to prevent possible damage
during shipment.
3. Let your refrigerator run for at least 2 or 3 hours
before putting food in it. Check the flow of cold air
in the freezer compartment to ensure proper
cooling. Your refrigerator is now ready for use.

LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT
Leveling
After installing, secure the stability of the product
with the leveling legs.
Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs--one on
the right and one on the left. Adjust legs to alter tilt
from front-to-back or side-to-side. If your refrigerator
seems unsteady or you want the doors to close
easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the
instructions below:
1. Plug the refrigerator's power cord into a 3-prong
grounded outlet. Move the refrigerator into its final
position. Remove the base cover.
To remove the base cover
1) Open the Freezer Drawer. (Drawer not shown
for clarity.)
2) Once the drawer is open and there is sufficient
clearance, remove screws on the top of the
cover.
To replace base cover:
Place cover into position and insert and tighten
the screws.
2. Turn the leveling leg clockwise to raise that side of
the refrigerator or counterclockwise to lower it. It
may take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust
the tilt of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push backward against
the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off
the leveling legs. This makes it easier to adjust the
legs.

IN-DOOR ICE BIN
_, CAUTION
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 door closed tightly. If the
ice compartment door is not closed tightly, the cold
air in the ice bin will freeze food in the refrigerator
compartment. This could also cause the icemaker to
not produce ice.
NOTE: If the On/Off switch on the icemaker is set to
Off (O) for an extended time, the ice compartment
will gradually warm up to the temperature of the
refrigerator compartment. To prevent ice cubes from
melting and leaking from the dispenser, ALWAYS
empty the ice bin when the icemaker is set to Off (O)
for more than a few hours.
_, CAUTION
When handling the
ice bin, keep hands
away from the blade
area to avoid
personal injury.
1. Pull or push the door handle to open or close the
Ice Compartment.
20
2. To remove the in-door ice bin, grip the front
handle, slightly lift the lower part, and slowly pull
out the bin as shown.
3. To reinstall the in-door ice bin, slightly slant the bin
during replacement to avoid contact with the
icemaker.
4. Avoid touching the Ice-detecting sensor when
replacing the ice bin. See the label on the ice
compartment door for details.
F
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.

STORING FROZEN FOOD
NOTE: For further information about preparing food
for freezing or food storage times, check a freezer
guide or a reliable cookbook.
Packaging
Successful freezing depends on correct packaging.
When you close and seal the package, it must not
allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could
have food odor and taste transfer throughout the
refrigerator and also dry out frozen food.
Packaging recommendations:
Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids
• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
• Heavy-duty aluminum foil
• Plastic-coated paper
• Non-permeable plastic wraps
• Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags
Follow package or container instructions for proper
freezing methods.
Do not use
• Bread wrappers
• Containers without tight lids
• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
• Thin, semi-permeable wrap

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER
Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to
the dispenser. The icemaker will produce 12 cubes
per cycle--approximately 100 in a 24-hour period,
depending on freezer compartment temperature,
room temperature, number of door openings and
other operating conditions.
• It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed
refrigerator to make ice.
• Icemaking stops when the ice storage bin is full.
• To turn off the automatic icemaker, set the
icemaker switch to OFF(O). To turn on the
automatic icemaker, set the switch to ON(I).
• The water pressure must be between 20 and
120psi on models without a water filter and
between 40 and 120 psi on models with a water
filter to produce the normal amount and size of ice
cubes.
Personal Injury Hazard
DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic

_, CAUTIONS
The first ice and water may include particles or
odor from the water supply line or the water tank.
• Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 24
cubes).
• This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not
been used for a long time.
• Never store beverage cans or other foods in the ice
bin for the purpose of rapid cooling.
Doing so may damage the icemaker or the
containers may burst.
• If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water filter
and water supply. If the problem continues, contact
Sears or other qualified service center. Do not use
the ice or water until the problem is corrected.
• Keep children away from the dispenser. Children
may play with or damage the controls.
• The ice passage may also become blocked with
frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove the frost
that accumulates.
• Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect
ice. Such glasses or containers may break, and
glass fragments could be in the ice.
• Dispense ice into a glass before filling it with water
or other beverages. Splashing may occur if ice is
dispensed into a glass that already contains liquid.
• Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow or
deep. Ice may jam in the ice passage and
refrigerator performance may be affected.
Keep the glass at a proper distance from the ice
outlet. A glass held too close to the outlet may
prevent ice from dispensing.
To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of the ice
door and passage.
• Never remove the dispenser cover.
• If you find ice or water dispensed unexpectedly,
turn off the water supply and contact Sears Home
Service at 1-800-4 MY HOME.

When the water supply will be shut off for several
hours.
• When the ice bin is removed for more than a
minute or two.
When the refrigerator will not be used for several
days.
NOTE: Ice Bin should be emptied when the
icemaker on/off switch is turned to the Off (0)
position.
NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
• The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker
fills with water. If the power switch is in the On (I)
position, it will buzz even if it has not yet been
hooked up to water. To stop the buzzing, move the
power switch to Off (0).
NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the On (I)
position before the water line is connected can
damage the icemaker.
• You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the
bin and water running in the pipes as the icemaker
refills.
PREPARING FOR VACATION
Set the icemaker power switch to Off (0) and shut
off the water supply to the refrigerator.
NOTE: Ice Bin should be emptied anytime the
icemaker on/off switch is turned to the Off (0)
position.
If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing,
have a qualified servicer drain the water supply
system to prevent serious property damage due to
flooding from ruptured water lines or connections.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
This water line installation is not warranted by the
refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer or retailer.
Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the
risk of expensive water damage.
Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house
plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts
and lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a
qualified plumber to correct water hammer before
installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook
up the water line to the hot water line.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting the
water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is
in the 0 (off) position.
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where
temperatures fall below freezing.
When using any electrical device (such as a power
drill) during installation, be sure the device is double-
insulated or grounded in a manner to prevent the
hazard of electric shock, or is battery-powered.
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to your cold water supply, this water line
installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or
icemaker manufacturer or retailer. Follow next
instructions carefully to minimize the risk of
expensive water damage.
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to your cold water supply, the water
pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be
a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (2.8 kgf/cm 2 ~ 4.2 kgf/cm 2,
less than 2.0~3.0sec to fill a cup of 7oz capacity).
If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis
system is less than 21 psi (1.5 kgf/cm _, more than
4.0sec to fill a cup of 7oz capacity):
Check to see whether the sediment filter in the
reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the
filter if necessary.
Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis
system to refill after heavy usage.
If the issue about water pressure from reverse
osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.
NOTE: Wear eye protection.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED .,_
• Copper Tubing, 1/4" outer diameter
to connect the refrigerator to the //
water supply. Be sure both ends of //"
the tubing are cut square.
To determine how much tubing you need, measure
the distance from the water valve on the back of the
refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then add 8 feet
(2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing
(about 8 feet [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10"
[25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move
out from the wall after installation.
A cold water supply. The water pressure must be
between 20 and 120 p.s.i, on models without a
water filter and between 40 and 120 p.s.i, on
models with a water filter.
Power drill.
1/2" or adjustable wrench.
Straight- and Phillips-
blade screwdriver.
Two 1/4" outer diameter
compression nuts and
2ferrules (sleeves) to
connect the copper tubing
to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.
If your existing copper water
line has a flared fitting at the
end, you will need an
adapter (available at
plumbing supply stores) to
connect the water line to the refrigerator OR you
can cut off the flared fitting with a tube cutter and
then use a compression fitting.
Shutoff valve to connect
to the cold water line.
The shutoff valve should
have a water inlet with a
minimum inside diameter
of 5/32" at the point of
connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type
shutoff valves are included in many water supply
kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type
valve complies with your local plumbing codes.
NOTE: Self Piercing Saddle Type Water Valve
should not be used.
36
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently
used drinking water line.
1. SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure
on the line.
2. CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
Choose a location for the valve
that is easily accessible. It is best
to connect into the side of a
vertical water pipe. When it is
necessary to connect into a
horizontal water pipe, make the
connection to the top or side, rather than at the
bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from
the water pipe.
3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Drill a 1/4" hole in the water
pipe using a sharp bit. Remove 1_1
any burrs resulting from drilling J_ I
the hole in the pipe. Take care _ I
not to allow water to drain into J_Y 1 I
the drill. Failure to drill a 1/4"
hole may result in reduced ice production or
smaller cubes.
NOTE: The hookup line cannot be white, plastic
tubing. Licensed plumbers must use only copper
tubing NDA tubing #49595 or 49599 or Cross
Link Polyethylene(PEX) tubing.
4. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE
5. TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP
Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer
begins to swell.
NOTE: Do not overtighten or you may crush the
tubing. Washer

6. ROUTE THE TUBING
Route the tubing between the cold water line and
the refrigerator.
Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall
or floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base
cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.
NOTE: Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing
(about 8 feet coiled into 3 turns of about 10"
diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out
from the wall after installation.
7. CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE VALVE
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
for copper tubing onto the end of the tubing and
connect it to the shutoff valve. Make sure the
tubing is fully inserted into the valve. Tighten the
compression nut securely.

occurs at water line connections.
38
UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old
one did not make. Because the sounds are new to
you, you might be concerned about them. Most of
the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the
floor, walls and cabinets, can make the sounds seem
louder than they actually are. The following list
describes the kinds of sounds and what may be
making them.
• A clicking noise may come from the electronic
control switching the cooling system on and off.
• Rattling noises may come from the flow of
refrigerant, the water line, or items stored on top of
the refrigerator.
• Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently
to keep your food items at the desired temperature.
The high efficiency compressor may cause your
new refrigerator to run longer than your old one,
but is still more energy efficient than previous
models. While running, you may hear a pulsating or
high-pitched sound, this is normal.
You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating
the air through the refrigerator and freezer
compartments.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling
sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your
refrigerator.
• Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may
cause a popping noise.
• Water dripping on the defrost heater during a
defrost cycle may cause a sizzling sound.
• You may hear air being forced over the condenser
by the condenser fan.
• You may hear water running into the drain pan
during the defrost cycle.
You can hear the noise occurring from the ice
compartment fan in the freezer or the left side of
the refrigerator when doors are open.
REFRIGERATOR DOES NOT OPERATE
Check if...
The power supply cord is unplugged.
A household fuse has blown or circuit breaker
tripped.
Refrigerator is in the defrost cycle.

COMPRESSOR MOTOR SEEMS TO RUN TOO MUCH
Check if... Then...
The refrigerator that was replaced was an older
model.
The room temperature is hotter than normal.
The door is opened often or a large amount of food
has just been added.
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 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.
Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator.
It is normal for the refrigerator to run longer in order to cool 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.

FROST OR ICE CRYSTALS ON FROZEN FOOD
Check if... Then...
The door is not closing properly. See Doors will not close completely above.
The door is opened often. When the door is opened, warm, humid air is allowed in the
freezer, resulting in frost.
ICE HAS BAD TASTE OR ODOR
Check if... Then...
The icemaker was recently installed. Discard the first few batches of ice to avoid discolored or bad
tasting ice.
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 Rewrap foods since odors may migrate to the ice if food is not

Ice storage bin needs cleaning. Empty and wash bin. Discard old cubes.
Check if...
The refrigerator is defrosting.
THERE IS WATER IN THE DEFROST DRAIN PAN
Then...
The water will evaporate. It is normal for water to drip into the
defrost pan.
It is more humid than normal. Expect that the water in the defrost pan will take longer to
evaporate. This is normal when it is hot or humid.
41
THE REFRIGERATOR SEEMS TO MAKE TOO MUCH NOISE
Check if... Then...
The sounds may be normal for your refrigerator. Refer to the Understanding Sounds You May Hear section
on page 39.
THE ICEMAKER IS NOT PRODUCING ICE OR NOT ENOUGH ICE
Check if... Then...
New installation.

properly.
Ultra Ice is not selected.
Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation for ice production to
begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice production.
Connect refrigerator to the water supply and turn water shutoff
valve fully open.
Reverse osmosis filtration systems can reduce the water
pressure below the minimum amount (40 psi) and result in
icemaker issues.
A kink in the line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water
source line.
Allow 24 hours for ice maker to produce more ice.
NOTE: An extra ice bucket is provided in the freezer section
for additional storage.
Locate the icemaker on/off switch and confirm it is in the On (I)
position.
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.
Below 0°F is the recommended temperature for the freezer
compartment for normal ice production. If the freezer
temperature is warmer, ice production will be affected.
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.
If the doors are not properly closed, ice production will be
affected.
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
as is ice production.
42
NOT DISPENSING ICE

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.
THE DOORS ARE DIFFICULT TO OPEN
Check if...
The gaskets are dirty or sticky.
The door is reopened within a short time after
having been opened.
Then..,
Clean gaskets and the surfaces that they touch. Rub a thin
coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax on the gaskets after
cleaning.
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.
44
TEMPERATURE IS TOO WARM OR THERE IS INTERIOR MOISTURE BUILDUP
Check if... 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.
The doors are opened often.
The control is not set correctly for the surrounding
conditions.
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).
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.
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 Adding food warms the refrigerator. It can take a few hours for
refrigerator or freezer, 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
