Ŷ Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow
glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the chute or cause the
GRRULQWKHFKXWHWRIUHH]HVKXW,ILFHLVEORFNLQJWKH
chute remove the ice bucket, poke it through with a
wooden spoon.
Ŷ Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the
door ice maker bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in
the storage drawer may cause the ice maker or auger
to jam.
Ŷ To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the
glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.
Ŷ Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you
selected CUBED ICE. This happens occasionally when
a few cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher.
Ŷ After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip
from the chute.
Ŷ Sometimes a small mound of snow will form on the
door in the ice chute. This condition is normal and
usually occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice
repeatedly. The snow will eventually evaporate.

When to Replace the Filter Cartridge
The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months
or earlier if 170 gallons (643.52 liters) of water has been
dispensed or the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker
decreases.
Touch Screen Models: A filter status message will appear
on the screen when the water filter needs to be replaced.
The filter status will automatically update when the filter is
replaced.
Non-touch Screen Models: A filter indicator light will
illuminate on the screen when the water filter needs to be
replaced.
On some models, if replacing the filter does not automatically
turn off the replace filter indicator on the display, press
and hold the water button for 3 seconds until you see the
³5HSODFH:DWHU)LOWHU´LQGLFDWRUDQGKHDUWKHWRQHZKLFK
indicates the filter has been reset.
Removing the Filter Cartridge
DO NOT TWIST CARTRIDGE! Twisting may damage
refrigerator or filter.
1. Remove the old cartridge by opening the filter door and
pulling on the bottom of the cartridge to allow it to swing
outward.
2.
When the cartridge can no
longer swing, gently pull to
unseat from the cartridge
holder. A small amount of
water may drip out.
DO NOT TWIST CARTRIDGE!
Installing the Filter Cartridge
1. Center the cartridge with cartridge holder with the word
FRONT facing outward. Push the cartridge inward until
it is fully seated. FRONT should be centered with the

filter will not swing easily, check to ensure filter is properly
aligned and fully seated within the cartridge holder.
3.
For dispenser models – Run 2 gallons of water through
the cold water dispenser (about 5 minutes) to remove air
from the system. A newly installed filter cartridge will cause

Before pushing the refrigerator into the opening,
plug the power cord into the receptacle and
connect waterline (if equipped). Check for leaks.
Locate the refrigerator’s RH side and move back
approximately in line with the RH side of the
cabinet opening, W. This should position the
anti-tip floor bracket to engage the anti-tip base
bracket on the refrigerator.
Gently roll the refrigerator back into the cabinet
opening until it comes to a complete stop.
Check to see if the refrigerator front lines up

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS/TRUTH OR MYTH
Truth or Myth? Answer Explanation
The refrigerator water filter may require
replacement prior to six months
758( The water filter indicator will indicate the need to replace the water
filter every six months or 170 gallons of water dispensed (select

the dispenser slows, or ice production decreases, the water filter
should be replaced, even though the filter indicator may not indicate
the need for replacement.
The automatic ice maker in my refrigerator will
produce ice when the refrigerator is plugged
into a power receptacle.
MYTH The refrigerator must be connected to water, and the ice maker
must be turned on. Make sure the ice maker is turned on, only after
the water line is connected and water is turned on. The ice maker
can be turned onoff from the controls and ensure the ice maker
is on, as indicated on the refrigerator control panel. See About the
Automatic Ice Maker.
After the refrigerator has been plugged in and

water dispenser.
MYTH The water dispenser tank located inside the refrigerator stores water
for dispensing. The water in this tank requires 24 hours to chill after
installation. High usage conditions will not allow time for the water
to chill.
After water dispenses, a few drops of water
are normal.
