CARE & CLEANING
Protecting your investment
Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains its appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean the freezer and fresh food compartments at least twice a year.
• Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or strong alkaline solutions on any surface.
• Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners with bleach to clean stainless steel.
• Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
• Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.
• Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface.
• Do not remove the serial plate. Removal of your serial plate voids your warranty.
• Before moving your refrigerator, raise the anti-tip brackets so the rollers will work correctly. This will prevent the floor from being damaged.
Refer to the guide on the next page for details on caring and cleaning specific areas of your refrigerator.

BEFORE YOU CALL
Concern | Potential Cause | Common Solution |
Automatic Ice Maker |
| |
Ice maker is not making any ice. | • Ice maker is turned off. | • Turn on ice maker. For the fresh food ice maker, press ice maker on-off button once. For the freezer ice maker, lower the arm to turn the ice maker on, or raise it and snap it in its upper position to turn the ice maker off. |
• Refrigerator is not connected to water line or water valve is not open. | • Connect the unit to the household water supply and ensure the water valve is open. | |
• The water supply line is kinked. | • Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the refrigerator is pushed into place against the wall. | |
• The water filter is not seated properly. | • Remove and re-install the water filter. Be sure to seat it fully into the locked position. | |
• The water filter may be clogged with foreign material. | • If water dispenses slowly or not at all, or if the filter is six months old or older, it should be replaced. | |
• Freezer ice maker wire signal arm is being held up by an item not allowing it to go in the on or down position. | • Move any item or frozen ice cubes that may block the signal arm from being in the on or down position. Additionally, the ice bin itself may be out of position so that it prevents the signal arm from dropping all the way down. Be sure the bin is pushed all the way to the rear of the shelf. See Automatic Ice Maker-Freezer section in manual. | |
Concern | Potential Cause | Common Solution |
Automatic Ice Maker (Cont'd) |
| |
Ice maker is not making enough ice. | • Ice maker is producing less ice than you expect. | • The ice maker will produce approximately 2.0 to 2.5 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions. |
• The water filter may be clogged with foreign material. | • If water dispenses slower than normal, or if the filter is six months old or older, it should be replaced. | |
• The water supply line is kinked. | • Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the refrigerator is pushed into place against the wall. | |
• Saddle valve on cold water pipe is clogged or restricted by foreign material. | • Turn off household water line valve. Remove valve. Clean valve. Replace valve if necessary. | |
• Heavy traffic, opening or closing of the doors excessively. | • Press Fast Freeze to temporarily increase ice production rate. (Freezer ice maker only.) | |
• Freezer control is set too warm (freezer ice maker). | • Set freezer control to colder setting to improve performance of the ice maker (freezer ice maker). Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize. | |
• Water pressure is extremely low. Cut-off and cut-on pressures are too low (well systems only). | • Have someone turn up the cut-off and cut-on pressure on the water pump system (well systems only). | |
• Reverse osmosis system is in regenerative phase. | • It is normal for a reverse osmosis system to be below 20 psi during the regenerative phase. | |
Freezer ice maker will not stop making ice (select models). | • Ice maker wire signal arm is being held down by a package in the freezer that has fallen against ice maker. | • Move any item or frozen ice cubes that may block the signal arm from being in the off or upward position. See Automatic Ice Maker-Freezer section in manual. |
Ice cubes are freezing together. | • Ice cubes are not being used frequently enough or interruption of power for prolonged time. | • Remove ice container and discard ice. The ice maker will produce fresh supply. Ice should be used at least twice weekly to keep the cubes separated. |
• Ice cubes are hollow (shells of ice with water inside). The hollow cubes break open in the bin and leak their water onto existing ice, which causes it to freeze together. | • This generally occurs when the ice maker does not get enough water. This is usually the result of a clogged water filter or restricted water supply. Replace the water filter and if the condition still occurs check for a clogged Saddle Valve, water valve not turned on all the way or kinked water supply line. | |
Concern | Potential Cause | Common Solution |
Dispenser (Ice & Water) | ||
Dispenser will not dispense ice. | • There is no ice in the bin to be dispensed. | • See the "Ice maker is not making any ice" section above. |
• The refrigerator doors are not completely closed. | • Be sure the refrigerator doors are completely closed. | |
• Dispenser paddle has been pressed too long and the dispenser motor has overheated. | • The motor overload protector will reset in about three minutes and then ice can be dispensed. | |
Ice dispenser is jammed. | • Ice has melted and frozen around auger due to infrequent use, temperature fluctuations, and/or power outages. | • Remove ice container, thaw, and empty the contents. Clean container, wipe dry, and replace in proper position. When new ice is made, dispenser should operate. |
• Ice cubes are jammed between ice maker and back of ice container. | • Remove ice cubes that are jamming the dispenser. | |
Dispenser will not dispense water. | • Water filter not seated properly. | • Remove and reinstall the water filter. For Puresource Ultra II, be sure to rotate it to the right until it stops and the grip end is vertical. |
• Water filter is clogged. | • Replace filter cartridge. Be sure to rotate it to the right until it stops and the grip end is vertical. | |
• Household water line valve is not open. | • Open household water line valve. See CONCERN column AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER. | |
Water not cold enough. | • The water dispensing system is not designed to chill water. | • Add ice to cup or container before dispensing water. |
Water has an odd taste and/or odor. | • Water has not been dispensed for an extended period of time. | • Draw and discard 10-12 glasses of water to freshen the supply. |
• Unit not properly connected to cold water line. | • Connect unit to cold water line that supplies water to the kitchen faucet. | |
