Automatic Ice & Water Maker/Dispenser
Priming the water supply
system
Yourrefrigerator’swatersupplysystemincludes
several tubing lines, an advanced water filter,
a distribution valve bank, and a reserve tank to
ensure ample supply to the ice and water dispenser
at all times. This system needs to be completely
filled with water when first connected to an external
supply line.
To prime the water supply system:
1 Begin filling the tank by pressing and holding
a drinking glass against the water dispenser
paddle.
2 Keep the glass in this position until water
comes out of the dispenser. It may take
about 1½ minutes.
3 Continue dispensing water for about three
minutes to flush the system and plumbing
connections of any impurities (stopping to
empty the glass as necessary).
Ice maker operation & care
The ice maker, ice bin, and dispenser feeding
mechanism are located in the top of the freezer
compartment.Aftertherefrigeratorisinstalled
properly and has cooled for several hours, the
ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. It can
completely fill an ice bin in about two days.
The ice maker produces four to six pounds of ice
every 24 hours depending on usage conditions. Ice
is produced at a rate of eight cubes every 75 to 90
minutes.
Using the ice maker after installation
Before making ice for the first time, be sure to
primethewatersupplysystem.Airinnewplumbing
lines can result in two or three empty ice maker
cycles. Furthermore, if the system is not flushed,
the first ice cubes may be discolored or have an
odd flavor.
Turning the ice maker on and off
Iceproductioniscontrolledbytheicemaker’sOn/
Off power switch. To gain access to the ice maker,
pull the extra shelf out (some models). Press the
switch to the “O” position to turn it Off and press to
the “I” position to turn it On.
OFF

OR
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation,
recommended water supply pressure
should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi.
Excessive pressure may cause water filter to
malfunction.
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device that
shuts off the water flow after three minutes of
continuous use. To reset this shutoff device,
simply release the dispenser paddle.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it
can work as soon as you install your refrigerator.
If you cannot connect a water supply, turn the
icemaker’sOn/OffswitchtoOff.Otherwise,the
icemaker’sllvalvemaymakealoudchattering
noise when it attempts to operate without water.
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in wire signal arm,
which automatically stops ice production when
the ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be
used to manually stop the ice maker.
IMPORTANT
Small ice cubes or ice chips jamming in the ice
maker may be a sign that your water filter needs
changing. If you have a side mounted ice maker
you may also experience hollow cubes -- partially
frozen cubes with water inside. When these cubes
are harvested they break open and spill water
over the other ice cubes in the ice container,
formingasolidmassofice.Asthewaterlter
nears the end of its useful life and becomes
clogged with particles, less water is delivered to
the ice maker during each cycle. The ice maker
can’tlleverycubeintheicemakermold,leading
to small cubes or chips that can get caught
between the ice ejector blades and the stripper.
Remember, if your ice maker is jamming with

since you last changed your water filter -- replace
the water filter with a new one. Poor quality
household water may require the filter to be
changed more frequently.

Changing The Filter
Locating the filters
Your refrigerator is equipped with separate water
and air filtering systems. The water filter system
filters all dispensed drinking water, as well as
the water used to produce ice. The air filter
removes odors and impurities from the refrigerator
compartment.
Water filter
The water filter is located at the top right side of the
fresh food compartment.
Air filter
The air filter is located at the top of the fresh food
compartment next to the water filter.
Replacing the air filter
In general, you should change the air filter every
six months (the filter status light on the Touch Panel
prompts you to replace the filter after six months)
to ensure optimal filtering of refrigerator odors. You
may want to adjust this time period depending on
the types and amounts of food you typically store in
your refrigerator. To replace your PureAdvantage

produced, you will hear ice cubes falling into
the ice bin.
E Electronic control & automatic defrost
control These parts can produce a snapping
or clicking sound when turning the cooling
system on and off.
F Condenser fan You may hear air being
forced through the condenser.
G Compressor Modern, high-efficiency
compressors run much faster than in the
past. The compressor may have a high-
pitched hum or pulsating sound.
H Water valve Makes a buzzing sound each
time it opens to fill the ice maker.
I Drain pan (not removable) You may hear
water dripping into the drain pan during the
defrost cycle.
J Condenser May create minimal sounds
from forced air.
