The refrigerator seems to make too much noise The water dispenser will not operate propedy
• The sounds may be normal for your refrigerator. See the
"Understanding Sounds You May Hear" section.
The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice.
• Has the ice maker just been installed? Wait 72 hours for full
ice production to begin. Once your refrigerator is cooled, the
ice maker should produce 70-120 cubes every 24 hours.
Is the freezer temperature cold enough to produce ice?
Wait 24 hours after hook-up for ice production. See the
"Setting the Control(s)" section.
IS the wire shut-off arm in the OFF (arm up) position?
Lower the wire shut-off arm to the ON (arm down) position.
See the "Ice Maker" section.
Is the water line shut-off valve to the refrigerator turned
on? Turn on the water valve. See the "Connecting to a Water
Source" section.
Does the ice maker mold have water in it or has no ice
been produced? Be sure your refrigerator has been
connected to a water supply and the supply shut-off valve is
turned on. See the "Connecting to a Water Source" section.
Is an ice cube jammed in the ejector arm? Remove the ice
from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil. See the "Ice
Maker" section.
Has a large amount of ice just been removed? Allow 24
hours for ice maker to produce more ice.
Is the control set correctly? If too little ice is produced, see
the "Setting the Control(s)" section.
Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator?. The
filter may be full or incorrectly installed. Depending on your
model, remove the water filter cartridge (see the "Interior
Water Filtration System" section). Operate the dispenser. If
the water flow increases noticeably, your filter is full and
needs to be replaced.
NOTE: if not due to any of the above, there may be a problem
with the water line. Call for service.
Has the water system not filled? The water system needs
to be filled the first time it is used. Use a sturdy container to
depress the water dispenser until water begins to flow.
Dispense and discard 2 to 3 gallons (8 to 12 L) of water. This
will take approximately 6 to 7 minutes and will help clear air
from the line. Additional flushing may be required in some
households. See the "Water Dispenser" section.
Is the water shut-off valve not turned on or the water line
connected at the source? Be sure the water shut-off valve is
turned on and the water source is connected to the
refrigerator. See the "Connecting to a Water Source" section.
Is the water shut-off valve clogged or incorrectly
installed? See the "Connecting to a Water Source" section, if
clogging or installation is not a problem, call for service or
contact a plumber.
Is there a kink in the home water source line? if you find or
suspect a kink in the water line, call for service.
Water flow from the dispenser decreases noticeably
Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The
filter may be full or incorrectly installed. Depending on your
model, remove the water filter cartridge (see the "Interior
Water Filtration System" section). Operate the dispenser. If
the water flow increases noticeably, your filter is full and
needs to be replaced.
Water leaking from the dispenser
Is the glass not being held under the water dispenser long
enough? Hold the container under the water dispenser two
to three seconds after releasing the dispenser lever. Water
may continue to dispense during this time.
Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The
water filtration system may have air in the lines, causing water
to drip. Additional flushing may help clear air from the lines.
Normal dispenser use should flush air from the lines within 24
to 72 hours.
Off-taste, odor or grey color in the ice The dispenser water is not cool enough
• Are the plumbing connections new, causing discolored or
off-flavored ice? Discard the first few batches of ice.
Have the ice cubes been stored too long? Throw old ice
away and make a new supply.
Has food in the refrigerator been wrapped properly? See
the "Refrigerator Features" section.
Do the freezer and ice bin need to be cleaned? See the
"Cleaning Your Refrigerator" section.
Does the water contain minerals (such as sulfur)? A filter
may need to be installed to remove the minerals.
Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator?.
Grey or dark discoloration in ice indicates that the water
filtration system needs additional flushing. Run additional
water through the water dispenser to flush the water filtration
system more thoroughly, at least 2 to 3 gallons (8 to12 L) or 6
to 7 minutes initially. Discard discolored ice.
Has the refrigerator been newly installed? Allow 24 hours
for the refrigerator to cool completely.
Has a large amount of water been recently dispensed?
Allow 24 hours for the water to cool completely.
Has water not been recently dispensed? The first glass of
water may not be cool. Discard the first glass of water.
The divider between the two compartments is warm
The warmth is probably due to normal operation of the
automatic exterior moisture control.
