evaporators—one for the
refrigerator and one for the

This provides two separate
cooling systems, and
separates the airflow between
WKHIUHVKIRRGDQGIUHH]HU
compartments during normal
cooling operations.*
This ensures that the
humidity levels in the fresh food compartment are
significantly higher than in a conventional system,**
allowing fresh produce and other unsealed foods to
retain their moisture content and freshness longer.
Moisture sensitive foods such as fresh fruit, salads,
rice, etc., can now be stored on open shelves without
excessive moisture loss.

The filter cartridge should be replaced when the
replacement indicator light turns red or if the flow of water
to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.

Ŷ Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled
in the ice storage drawer. Cans, bottles or food
packages in the storage drawer may cause the
icemaker or auger to jam.
Ŷ To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put
the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser

usually occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice
repeatedly. The snow will eventually evaporate.

the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
Ŷ Electronic dampers click open and closed to

Ŷ The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping
sound when attempting to restart (this could take
up to 5 minutes).
Ŷ The electronic control board may cause a clicking
sound when relays activate to control refrigerator

Ŷ On models with an icemaker, after an icemaking
cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into

Ŷ The flow of refrigerant through the cooling coils may
make a gurgling noise like boiling water.
Ŷ Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause
