6. WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
6.1 Before Installing The Water
Supply Line
WARNING!
To avoid electric shock, which can
cause death or severe personal injury,
disconnect the appliance from the
electrical power before connecting a
water supply line to the appliance.
12 ENGLISH
CAUTION!
To avoid property damage:
• Use copper or stainless steel
braided tubing for the water supply
line. Do not use water supply
tubing made of 1/4" plastic. Plastic
tubing greatly increases the
potential for water leaks, and the
manufacturer will not be
responsible for any damage if you
use plastic tubing for the supply
line.
• Do not install water supply tubing in
areas where temperatures fall
below freezing.
• Chemicals from a malfunctioning
softener can damage the ice
maker. If the ice maker is
connected to soft water, ensure
that the softener is maintained and
working properly.
IMPORTANT
Ensure your water supply line
connections comply with all local
plumbing codes.
6.2 You will need
• Basic tools: adjustable wrench, flat-
blade screwdriver, and Phillips™
screwdriver.
• Access to a household cold water line
with water pressure between 30 and
100 psi.
• A water supply line made of 1/4" (6.4
mm) OD, copper or stainless steel
tubing. To determine the length of
tubing needed, measure the distance
from the ice maker inlet valve at the
back of the appliance to your cold
water pipe. Then add approximately 6 ft
(1.8 m) to ensure you can move the
appliance for cleaning.
• A shutoff valve to connect the water
supply line to your household water
system. Do not use a self-piercing type
shutoff valve.
• Do not reuse compression fitting or use
thread seal tape.
• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
for connecting a copper water supply
line to the ice maker inlet valve.
NOTE
Check with your local building
authority for recommendations on
water lines and associated materials
prior to installing your new refrigerator.
Depending on your local/state building
codes, Frigidaire recommends:
• for homes with existing valves
Smart Choice® water line kit
5305513409 with a 6 ft (1.8 m)
stainless steel water line.
• for homes without an existing valve
Smart Choice® water line kit
5305510264 with a 20 ft (6 m)
copper water line with self-tapping
saddle valve.
Please refer to Frigidaire.com for
more information.
6.3 Installing the water supply
line
NOTE
These instructions do not cover after
market ice maker installation.
Instructions in after market ice maker
kit should be used.
IMPORTANT
Your appliance water supply system
includes several tubing lines, a water
filter, and a water valve. To ensure
that your water dispenser works
properly, this system must be
completely filled with water when your
appliance is first connected to the
household water supply line.
To connect water supply line to ice maker
inlet valve:
1. Disconnect refrigerator from electric
power source.
2. Place end of water supply line into sink

3. Remove plastic cap from water valve
inlet and discard cap.
4. Depending on the tubing you use:
• Copper tubing - Slide brass
compression nut, then ferrule
(sleeve) onto water supply line.
Push water supply line into water
valve inlet as far as it will go (1/4" /
ENGLISH 13
6.4 mm). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into
valve inlet and finger tighten
compression nut onto valve.
Tighten another half turn with a
wrench; do not over tighten.
• Braided flexible stainless steel
tubing - The nut is already
assembled on the tubing. Slide nut
onto valve inlet and finger tighten
nut onto valve. Tighten another half
turn with a wrench; do not over
tighten.
5. With steel clamp and screw, secure
water supply line to rear panel of the
appliance.
6. Coil excess water supply line (copper
tubing only), about 2.5 turns, behind
refrigerator as shown and arrange
coils so they do not vibrate or wear
against any other surface. Do not kink
tubing.

9. AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
Table title
.
NOTE
Refrigerator Ice Maker (External Dispenser Models Only)
9.1 Priming the water supply
system
Before making ice for the first time, prime
the water supply system. Air in new
plumbing lines can result in two or three
empty ice maker cycles. If the system is
not flushed, the first ice cubes may have
discolored water or have an odd flavor.
Purge air from the system:
1. Press and hold a drinking glass
against the water dispenser paddle
until water comes out (it may take up
to 4 minutes to purge air from the
system).
2. Run approximately 1 full gallon of
water through the dispenser before
use, and discard.
18 ENGLISH
Dispenser (varies by model)
Q
uick
Freeze
CAUTION!
For proper dispenser operation, the
recommended water supply pressure
should fall between 30 psi and 100
psi. Excessive pressure may cause
the system to malfunction.
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in
device that shuts off the water flow
after 3 minutes of continuous use. To
reset this shutoff device, release the
dispenser paddle.
NOTE
Dispensed water is not chilled. For
colder water, add ice to cup or
container before dispensing water.
9.2 Ice maker Operation and Care
After you properly install the refrigerator
and it has cooled for several hours, the ice
maker can produce ice within 24 hours.
When using the ice maker for the first
time, and in order for it to work properly,
you need to clear air from the water tubing
and the filter. If you do not flush the
system, the first ice cubes may be
discolored or have an odd flavor. Once the
ice maker begins making ice, allow the bin
to fill completely, and then discard the first
full bin of ice.
9.3 Storage bin capacity
In a standard depth model, the refrigerator
ice maker should produce 3 to 3.4 lbs of
ice per 24 hours. In a counter depth
model, the refrigerator ice maker should
produce 2.7 to 3.2 lbs of ice per 24 hours.
In a standard depth model, the refrigerator
ice bin holds around 5 lbs of ice. In a
counter depth model, the refrigerator ice
bin holds around 3.7 lbs of ice.
9.4 Turning the ice maker on/off
Ice production is controlled by the ice
maker On/Off feature on the appliance
control display. Press the On/Off feature to
turn the ice maker on and off.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker disables ice
making. You will still be able to
dispense existing ice, and dispense
water.
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in
plastic signal arm that automatically
stops ice production when the ice bin
is full. This signal arm should not be
used to manually stop the ice maker.
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, set the ice
maker On/Off feature to Off;
otherwise, the ice maker fill valve may
make a loud chattering noise when it
attempts to operate without water.
IMPORTANT
On occasion, you may notice
unusually small ice cubes in the
bucket or in dispensed ice. This could
occur in normal operation of the ice
maker. If you start seeing these more
frequently, it may be an indication of
low water pressure or the water filter
needs to be replaced. As the water
filter nears the end of its useful life
and becomes clogged with particles,
less water is delivered to the ice
maker during each cycle. If it has
been 6 months or longer 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.
ENGLISH 19
9.5 Ice maker/Dispenser Tips
• Ice cubes stored too long may develop
an odd flavor. Empty the ice container
as explained in Cleaning the ice maker
section.
• If your refrigerator is not connected to a
water supply or the water supply is
turned off, turn off the ice maker.
• If you need a large quantity of ice at
one time, it is best to get cubes directly
from the ice container.
• The following sounds are normal when
the ice maker is operating:
– Motor running
– Ice dropping into ice container
– Water valve opening or closing
– Running water
• When dispensing cubed ice, it is
normal to have a small quantity of little
pieces along with the whole cubes.
• To avoid splashing, dispense ice into
your container before adding liquids.
• It is normal for ice to fill to the top of the
ice bin.
CAUTION!
Chemicals from a malfunctioning
water softener can damage the ice
maker. If the water supply to your
refrigerator is softened, be sure the
softener is maintained to work
properly.
9.6 Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular
intervals, especially prior to vacation or
moving.
1. Turn off the ice maker.
2. Lift the ice bin upward, and then pull it
straight out to remove it.
3. Empty and carefully clean the ice bin
with mild detergent. Do not use harsh
or abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clean
water.
4. Allow the ice bin to dry completely
before replacing it in the freezer.
5. Replace the ice bin.
6. Turn the ice maker on.
NOTE
When removing or replacing the ice
bin, avoid rotating the auger in the ice
bin. If the auger is accidentally
rotated, you must realign the auger by
turning it in 45° turns until the ice bin
fits into place with the drive
mechanism. If you do not properly
align the auger when replacing the ice
bin, the refrigerator will not dispense
ice. The refrigerator door also may not
close properly causing warm air to
leak into the refrigerator compartment.
When to remove and empty the ice
bin
Remove and empty the ice bin if:
• An extended power failure (one hour or
longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin
to melt and re-freeze together after
power is restored, jamming the
dispenser mechanism.
• You do not use the ice dispenser
frequently. Ice cubes will freeze
together in the bin, jamming the
dispenser mechanism.
CAUTION!
Never use an ice pick or similar sharp
instrument to break up the ice. This
could damage the ice bin and
dispenser mechanism.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water.
Before replacing the ice bin, make
sure it is completely dry.

11. STORAGE FEATURES
ENGLISH 21
11.1 Shelves
CAUTION!
To avoid personal injury or property
damage, handle tempered glass
shelves carefully. Shelves may break
suddenly if nicked, scratched, or
exposed to sudden temperature
change. Allow the glass shelves to
stabilize to room temperature before
cleaning. Do not wash in dishwasher.
You can easily adjust shelf positions in the
refrigerator compartments to suit your
needs. The shelves have mounting
brackets that attach to slotted supports at
the rear of each compartment.
1. Remove all the food from the shelf.
2. Lift the front edge up and pull the shelf
out.
3. Replace by inserting the mounting
bracket hooks into the desired support
slots.
4. Lower the shelf and lock into position.
11.2 Reposition the air seal
IMPORTANT
Be aware of the air seal located at the
rear of the shelf. Shelves located on
the left side should have the air seal
mounted on the far left side. Shelves
located on the right side should have
the air seal mounted on the far right
side. This is to ensure there is no
interference with the large air tower on
the back wall of the cabinet. This also
applies to the crisper shelves.
For glass shelves:
1. Remove air seal by pushing seal
straight back.
2. Position the air seal towards the
outside edge of the shelf to avoid the
air tower when shelf is pushed back
into place.

12. STORING FOOD AND SAVING ENERGY
12.1 Ideas for storing food
Fresh food storage
• Keep the fresh food compartment
between 34°F and 40°F, with an
optimum temperature of 37°F.
• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator
shelves, which reduces air circulation
and causes uneven cooling.
• Avoid placing food in front of air ports.
Fruits and vegetables
• Store fruits and vegetables in crisper
drawers, where trapped moisture helps
preserve food quality for longer time
periods.
• Wash items and remove excess water.
• Wrap any items that have strong odors
or high moisture content.
Meat
• Wrap raw meat and poultry separately
and securely to prevent leaks and
contamination of other foods or
surfaces.
• Use the deli drawer to store meat/
poultry for short-term storage. Any
meat to be kept longer than two days
should be frozen.
Frozen foods storage
• Keep the freezer compartment at 0°F
or lower.
ENGLISH 23
• A freezer operates most efficiently
when it is at least 2/3 full.
Packaging foods for freezing
• To minimize food dehydration and
quality deterioration, use aluminum foil,
freezer wrap, freezer bags, or airtight
containers. Force as much air out of
the packages as possible and seal
them tightly. Trapped air can cause
food to dry out, change color, and
develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).
• Wrap fresh meats and poultry with
suitable freezer wrap prior to freezing.
• Do not refreeze meat that has
completely thawed.
Loading the freezer
• Prior to grocery shopping, activate
Freeze Boost so that on your return
you can ensure your newly purchased
food designated for the freezer will be
preserved as quickly as possible.
• Activating Freeze Boost also will help
your freezer more efficiently maintain
the selected temperature after placing
new purchases with pre-existing frozen
foods.
• Avoid adding too much warm food to
the freezer at one time. This overloads
the freezer, slows the rate of freezing,
and can raise the temperature of frozen
foods.
• Leave a space between packages, so
cold air can circulate freely, allowing
food to freeze as quickly as possible.
12.2 Ideas for energy saving
Installation
• Locate the refrigerator in the coolest
part of the room, out of direct sunlight,
and away from heating ducts or
registers.
• Do not place the refrigerator next to
heat-producing appliances such as a
range, oven, or dishwasher. If this is
not possible, a section of cabinetry or
an added layer of insulation between
the two appliances will help the
refrigerator operate more efficiently.
• Level the refrigerator so that the doors
close tightly.
Temperature setting
• Refer to Controls and Settings for
procedures on temperature settings.
Food storage
• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator or
blocking cold air vents. Doing so
causes the refrigerator to run longer
and use more energy.
• Cover foods and wipe containers dry
before placing them in the refrigerator.
This cuts down on moisture build-up
inside the unit.
• Organize the refrigerator to reduce
door openings. Remove as many items
as needed at one time and close the
door as soon as possible.
• Do not place a hot container directly on
a cold shelf. Remember, such an
extreme temperature change may
damage the glass.
13. NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
13.1 Understanding the sounds
you may hear
Your new, high-efficiency appliance may
introduce unfamiliar sounds. These
sounds normally indicate your appliance is
operating correctly. Some surfaces on
floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may
make these sounds more noticeable.
NOTE
Energy efficient foam in your
appliance is not a sound insulator.
Following is a list of major components in
your appliance and the sounds they can
cause:
A. Evaporator. Refrigerant through the
evaporator may create a boiling or
gurgling sound.
B. Evaporator fan. You may hear air
being forced through the refrigerator
by the evaporator fan.
C. Defrost heater. During defrost cycles,
water dripping onto the defrost heater
may cause a hissing or sizzling sound.
24 ENGLISH
After defrosting, a popping sound may
occur.
D. Automatic Ice maker. When ice has
been produced, you will hear ice
cubes falling into the ice bin.
E. Electronic control & automatic defrost
control. These parts can produce
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
previous models. The compressor may
have a noticeable hum or pulsating
sound during operation.
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.
K. Motorized damper. May produce
intermittent humming during operation.
L. Ice chute. When dispensing ice, you
will hear a snapping or clicking sound
when the solenoid opens and closes
the ice chute.

Automatic Ice Maker
Table title
Concern Potential Cause Common solution
Ice maker is not making any ice. Ice maker is turned off. Turn on ice maker. For the refrig
erator ice maker, press and hold
the Ice Maker On/Off button on
your display. For the freezer ice
maker, turn the ice maker on by
pressing the toggle switch on the
(-) side.
Refrigerator is not connected to
water line or water valve is not
open.
Connect the unit to the household
water supply and ensure the wa
ter valve is open.
The water supply line is kinked. Ensure that the supply line does
not kink when the refrigerator is
pushed into place against the
wall.
The water filter is not seated
properly.
Remove and re-install the water
filter. Be sure to seat it fully into
the locked position.
The water filter may be clogged
with foreign material.
If water dispenses slowly or not at
all, or if the filter is 6 months old
or older, it should be replaced.
30 ENGLISH
Concern Potential Cause Common solution
Ice maker is not making enough
ice.
Ice maker is producing less ice
than you expect.
• In a standard depth model,
the refrigerator ice maker
should produce 3.0 to 3.4 lbs
of ice per 24 hours and will
hold around 5 lbs of ice.
• In a counter depth model, the
refrigerator ice maker should
produce 2.7 to 3.2 lbs of ice
per 24 hours and will hold
around 3.7 lbs of ice.
The water filter may be clogged
with foreign material.
If water dispenses slower than
normal, or if the filter is six
months old or older, it should be
replaced.
Saddle valve on cold water pipe
is clogged or restricted by foreign
material.
Ensure that the supply line does
not kink when the refrigerator is
pushed into place against the
wall.
Heavy traffic, opening or closing
of the doors excessively.
Turn off household water line
valve. Remove valve. Clean
valve. Replace valve if necessary.
Freezer control is set too warm
(freezer ice maker).
Set freezer control to colder set
ting to improve performance of
the ice maker (freezer ice maker).
Allow 24 hours for temperature to
stabilize.
Water pressure is extremely low.
Cut-off and cut-on pressures are
too low (well systems only).
Have someone turn up the cut-off
and cut-on pressure on the water
pump system (well systems only).
Reverse osmosis system is in re
generative phase.
It is normal for a reverse osmosis
system to be below 20 psi during
the regenerative phase.
Freezer ice maker will not stop
making ice (some models).
Ice maker bail arm is being held
down by a package in the freezer
that has fallen against ice maker.
Move any item or frozen ice
cubes that may block the bail arm
from being in the off or upward
position.
Ice cubes are located in once
spot inside the freezer ice bin.
Periodically move ice cubes
around the ice bin so that ice
maker will continue to make ice.
ENGLISH 31
Concern Potential Cause Common solution
Ice cubes are freezing together. Ice cubes are not being used fre
quently enough or interruption of
power for prolonged time.
Remove ice container and dis
card ice. The ice maker will pro
duce fresh supply. Ice should be
used at least twice weekly to
keep the cubes separated.
Ice cubes are hollow (shells of ice
with water inside). The hollow
cubes break open in the bin and
leak their water onto existing ice,
which causes it to freeze togeth
er.
• This generally occurs when
the ice maker does not get
enough water. This is usually
the result of a clogged water
filter or restricted water sup
ply.
• Replace the water filter and if
the condition still occurs
check for a clogged saddle
valve, water valve not turned
on all the way or kinked water
supply line.

doors.
Dispenser paddle has been
pressed too long and the dispens
er motor has overheated.
The motor overload protector will
reset in about 3 minutes, and
then ice can be dispensed.
Not dispensing ice regularly may
melt and re-freeze ice causing ice
clumping. Dispensing clumps
could damage the ice bucket.
Empty the ice bucket monthly or
regularly dispense ice. For longer
periods of time (vacation or va
cant homes) turn off the ice mak
er. See tips in Automatic Ice and
Water Dispenser.
Ice dispenser is jammed. Ice has melted and frozen around
auger due to infrequent use, tem
perature fluctuations, and/or pow
er outages.
Remove ice container, thaw, and
empty the contents. Clean con
tainer, wipe dry, and replace in
proper position. When new ice is
made, dispenser should operate.
See tips on cleaning in Automatic
Ice and Water Dispenser.
