Truth or Myth? Answer Explanation
The refrigerator water filter may require
replacement, even though the filter indicator
KDVQRWWXUQHGUHGRUUHDGV³)LOWHU([SLUHG´
758( The water filter indicator will indicate the need to replace the water
filter every six months. Water quality varies from city to city; if water
flow from 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
in to 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 on/off from the controls and ensure the ice maker is
on, as indicated on the refrigerator control panel. See Automatic Ice
Maker section in the full owner’s manual available online.
After the refrigerator has been plugged in and
connected to water, I will immediately have
unlimited chilled water available from the 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.

properly sealed, or has been left open. If frost is found, clear the
frost using a plastic spatula and towel, then check to ensure that no

closing. Check the refrigerator control panel to ensure the door
alarm is on.
When the refrigerator is installed, or after
replacing the water filter, I must dispense
water for five minutes.
758(
A newly installed refrigerator or water filter contains air in the water
lines. Press the dispenser paddle and dispense cold water for at
least 5 minutes to remove air from the water line, and flush the filter.
To fill the ice bucket to the maximum capacity,
I should dispense 12 and 18 hours after
installation.
758( Dispensing 3-4 cubes 12 hours and 18 hours after installation,
allows ice to disperse within the ice bucket, which in turns calls on
the ice maker to produce additional ice. Normal ice production = 100
cubes in 24 hours.
I can use the water filter bypass plug to
determine if the filter requires replacement.
758( Decrease in flow from the water dispenser, or decreased ice
production, may indicate the need to replace the water filter. Install
the water filter bypass plug (provided with the refrigerator on some
models*), and check flow from the dispenser. If water flow returns to
normal with the bypass plug in place, replace the water filter.
The top of the refrigerator doors will always be
aligned.
MYTH Several things can affect the refrigerator door alignment, including
the floor the refrigerator is installed on and loading of doors. If the

There may be odor and taste problems with
your ice.
758( After starting the ice maker throw away 24 hours of ice production to
avoid odor and taste problems.
I can make fine adjustments to the refrigerator
doors to align them.
