CONNECTING TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE
BEFORE BEGINNING
The water connection must be made by a qualified plumber. This water line
installation is not covered by the refrigerator warranty. Follow these
instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.
If necessary, call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before
installing the water supply line to the refrigerator. Water banging in the pipes
(water hammer) in residential plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator
parts and lead to water leakage or flooding.
• A water line is required in order for the icemaker to operate properly.
• To prevent burns and product damage, only connect the refrigerator
water line to a cold water supply.
• Turn the icemaker OFF if the refrigerator will be used before the water
line is connected.
WARNING
• Connect to potable water supply only.
• A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker operation.
• The water pressure must be between 20 - 100 psi (140 - 690 kPa).
Operation outside the water pressure range may cause malfunction,
severe and damaging water leaks.
• If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below
20 psi or 140 kPa), you can install a booster pump to compensate for the
low pressure.
WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
• Attach tubing clamp using existing hole only. DO NOT drill into the
refrigerator.
• When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during
installation, be sure the device is battery-powered, double-insulated or
grounded in a manner that will prevent the hazard of electric shock.
20
• Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where the ambient
temperatures fall below freezing.
• Wear eye protection during installation to prevent injury.
• Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator
power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.
• Before connecting the water line to the house, purge the house line for at
least 2 minutes.
SUPPLIES NEEDED
• A copper or approved flexible universal refrigerator tubing kit or ice-
maker install kit with 1/4" outer diameter to connect the refrigerator to
the water supply. If using copper, be sure both ends of the tubing are cut
square.
• A cold water supply. The water pressure must be between 20 - 100 psi
(140 - 690 kPa).
• Power drill.
• 1/2" or adjustable wrench.
• Straight and Phillips blade screwdriver.
• Two 1/4" outer diameter compression nuts and two ferrules
(sleeves) to connect the copper tubing to the shutoff valve
and the refrigerator water valve, OR you can find kits that
come with all parts included such as Stop Tee and
compressing fittings.
• If your existing copper water line has a flared fitting at the end, you will
need an adapter (available at plumbing supply stores) to connect the
water line to the refrigerator, OR you can cut off the flared fitting with a
tube cutter and then use a compression fitting.
• Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line. The shutoff
valve should have a water inlet with a minimum inner
diameter of 5/32" at the point of connection to the cold
water line. Saddle-type shutoff valves are included in many
water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-
type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.
21
NOTE:
WATER LINE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Only use approved plastic universal tubing if not using copper tubing.
Cross linked High Density Polyethylene (PEX) hose is extremely durable
and is becoming increasingly preferred.
• Install a shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinker water line.
• A self-piercing saddle type water valve should not be used.
1. Shut off the main water supply.
• Then turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of
water.
2. Choose the valve location.
• Choose an easily accessible
location on the cold water pipe for
the shutoff valve. It is best to
connect into the side of a vertical
water pipe. When it is necessary to
connect into a horizontal water
pipe, make the connection to the
top or side, rather than at the
bottom, to avoid drawing off any
sediment from the water pipe.
3. Drill the hole for the valve.
• Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe
(even if using a self-piercing valve)
using a sharp bit. Be cautious not
to allow water to drain into the
drill. Remove any burrs resulting
from drilling the hole in the pipe.
Failure to drill a 1/4" hole may
result in reduced ice production or
smaller cubes.

NOTE:
4. Fasten the shutoff valve.
• Fasten the shutoff valve to the
cold water pipe with the pipe
clamp.
NOTE:
• Commonwealth of
Massachusetts Plumbing Codes
248CMR shall be adhered to.
Saddle valves are illegal and use
is not permitted in
Massachusetts. Consult with your
licensed plumber.
5. Tighten the pipe clamp.
• Tighten the clamp screws until the
sealing washer begins to swell.
• Do not over tighten or you may
crush the tubing.
6. Route the water line tubing.
• Route the tubing between the cold
water line and the refrigerator.
Route the tubing through a hole
drilled in the wall or floor (behind
the refrigerator or adjacent the
base cabinet) as close to the wall
as possible.

Allow the refrigerator to run for at least two to three hours before putting
food in it. Check the flow of cold air in the freezer compartment to ensure
proper cooling.
Storage of too much food after initial connection to power may adversely
affect the freezing effect of the refrigerator.
CAUTION
• Putting food in the refrigerator before it has cooled could cause the
food to spoil, or a bad odor to remain inside the refrigerator.
• The refrigerator makes a loud noise after initial operation.
This is normal. The volume will decrease as the temperature decreases.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away
from heat producing appliances or heating ducts and out of direct
sunlight.
• Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation at the base of the appliance, on
the sides of the appliance, and at the back of the appliance. Never cover
ventilation openings.
• Open the doors only as briefly as necessary to minimize cold loss.
• Check and clean the door gaskets regularly to make sure there is no
debris and the doors close properly.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance.
Overloading forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too
slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing
them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the fridge.
• Allow frozen food to defrost in the refrigerator. The coldness of the frozen
food reduces energy consumption in the refrigerator compartment.
• An evenly filled refrigerator or freezer compartment contributes to
optimal energy use. Therefore, avoid empty or half-empty compartments.
• Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper
or paper towels. Liners interfere with cold air circulation making the
appliance less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door opening and extended searches.
Remove as many items needed at one time and close the door as soon as
possible.

present, but you should contact a technician immediately regarding the error.
34
ICEMAKER
NOTE:
BEFORE USING THE ICEMAKER
• A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 hours to provide the first
batch of ice.
• If discolored ice is produced, check the external water filter and water
supply. If the problem continues, contact the manufacturer customer
service center or a local licensed plumber. Do not use the ice until the
problem is corrected.
• The sound of ice dropping into the ice bin is normal.
• If the ice bin is completely filled with ice, ice production will stop.
USING THE ICEMAKER
The icemaker is located inside the freezer compartment. The amount of ice
produced may vary according to the environment (ambient temperature
around the appliance, frequency of the door being opened, amount of food
stored in the appliance, etc.).
•
To turn the icemaker on, lower the
shut-off arm (metal rod) if the water
line is connected.
•
To turn the icemaker off, raise the
shut-off arm (metal rod).
CAUTION
• Throw away the first bin full of ice after installation. The first batch of ice
produced may include particles or odor from the water supply line.
• This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a long
time.
• In the event of a power outage, throw away the ice stored in the ice bin.
Shut-off arm

NOTE:
• Ice cubes which are stored in the ice bin for a long time may clump
together and be difficult to separate. If this happens, empty the ice bin
completely and clean it before reinstalling it.
• To remove the bin, grab and
squeeze both sides, then lift the
bin up and pull straight out.
• To assemble the bin, slide it in
above the desired support and
push down until it snaps into
place.
CRISPERS
The crispers provide fresher tasting fruit and vegetables by keeping moist air
in the crisper drawer. (Separate fruit and vegetables to avoid over ripening
due to ethylene release by certain fruit.)
REFRIGERATOR SHELVES
Some shelves in the refrigerator can be raised to meet individual storage
needs. Adjusting the shelves to fit items of different heights will make finding
the exact item you want easier.
DOOR BINS
The door bins are removable for easy cleaning and adjustment. These are the
warmest areas of the fridge as room temperature air gushes in every time the
doors are opened. Put your least perishable items on the door, like ketchup,
mustard, soy sauce and other condiments with longer shelf lives.

TROUBLESHOOTING
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
Save time and money! Review this section on the following pages first and you
may not need to call for service.
Problem Possible Cause & Solution
Refrigerator is
not cooling or
has no power.
A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker
tripped. Or the appliance is connected to a GFCI (Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet, and the outlet's circuit
breaker has tripped.
• Check the main electrical box and replace the fuse or
reset the circuit breaker. Do not increase fuse capacity.
If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected
by a qualified electrician.
• Reset the circuit breaker on the GFCI. If the problem
persists, contact an electrician.
Refrigerator is in the defrost cycle.
• During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each
compartment may rise slightly. Wait 30 minutes and
confirm the proper temperature has been restored
once the defrost cycle has completed.
Refrigerator was recently installed.
• It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to
reach the desired temperature.
Refrigerator was recently relocated.
• If the refrigerator was stored for a long period of time
or moved on its side, it is necessary for the refrigerator
to stand upright for 24 hours before connecting it to
power.
41
Problem Possible Cause & Solution
Cooling
system runs
too much.
Refrigerator is replacing an older model.
• Modern refrigerators require more operating time but
use less energy due to more efficient technology.
Refrigerator was recently plugged in or power restored.
• The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool
completely.
The door is opened often or a large amount of food / hot
food was added.
• Adding food and opening the door warms the
refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run longer in
order to cool the refrigerator back down. In order to
conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of
the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is
easy to find, and close the door as soon as the food is
removed.
Doors are not closed completely.
• Firmly push the doors shut.
Refrigerator is installed in a hot location.
• The compressor will run longer under warm conditions.
At normal room temperatures (70 °F or 21 °C) expect
your compressor to run about 40 % to 80 % of the
time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even
more often. The refrigerator should not be operated
above 110 °F (43 °C).
42
Problem Possible Cause & Solution
Interior
moisture
buildup.
Doors are opened often or for long periods of time.
• When the doors are opened often or for long periods
of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This
raises the temperature and moisture level within the
compartment. To lessen the effect, reduce the
frequency and duration of door openings.
Doors are not always closed completely.
• Firmly push the doors shut.
Weather is humid.
• Humid weather allows additional moisture to enter the
compartments when the doors are opened leading to
condensation or frost. Maintaining a reasonable level
of humidity in the home will help to control the
amount of moisture that can enter the compartments.
Defrost cycle recently completed.
• During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each
compartment may rise slightly and condensation may
form on the back wall. Wait 30 minutes and confirm
that the proper temperature has been restored once
the defrost cycle has completed.
Food is not packaged correctly.
• Food stored uncovered or unwrapped, and damp
containers can lead to moisture accumulation within
each compartment. Wipe all containers dry and store
food in sealed packaging to prevent condensation
and frost.
43
Problem Possible Cause & Solution
Food is
freezing in the
refrigerator
compartment.
Food with high water content was placed near an air
vent.
• Rearrange items with high water content away from
air vents.
Refrigerator temperature control is set incorrectly.
• If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one
increment at a time and wait for the temperature to
stabilize.
Refrigerator is installed in a cold location.
• When the refrigerator is operated in temperature
below 41 °F (5 °C), food can freeze in the refrigerator
compartment. The refrigerator should not be operated
in temperature below 55 °F (13 °C).
Refrigerator or
Freezer section
is too cold.
Incorrect temperature control settings.
• If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one
increment at a time and wait for the temperature to
stabilize.
Frost or ice
crystals form
on frozen food
(inside of
sealed
package).
Condensation from food with a high water content has
frozen inside of the food package.
• This is normal for food items with a high water
content.
Food has been left in the freezer for a long period of
time.
• Do not store food items with high water content in the
freezer for a long period of time.
Frost or ice
crystals form
on frozen food
(outside of
package).
Door is opened frequently or for long periods of time.
• When the doors are opened often or for long periods
of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This
raises the temperature and moisture level within the
compartment. Increased moisture will lead to frost
and condensation. To lessen the effect, reduce the
frequency and duration of door openings.
Doors are not always closed completely.
• Firmly push the doors shut.
44
Problem Possible Cause & Solution
Refrigerator or
Freezer section
is too warm.
Refrigerator was recently installed.
• It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to
reach the desired temperature.
The air vents are blocked. Cold air circulates from the
freezer to the fresh food section and back again through
air vents in the wall dividing the two sections.
• Locate air vents by using your hand to sense airflow
and move all packages that block vents and restrict
airflow. Rearrange items to allow air to flow
throughout the compartment.
Doors are opened often or for long periods of time.
• When the doors are opened often or for long periods
of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This
raises the temperature and moisture level within the
compartment. To lessen the effect, reduce the
frequency and duration of door openings.
Unit is installed in a hot location.
• The refrigerator should not be operated in
temperatures above 110 °F (43 °C).
A large amount of food or hot food was added to either
compartment.
• Adding food warms the compartment requiring the
cooling system to run. Allowing hot food to cool to
room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator
will reduce this effect.
Doors are not always closed completely.
• Firmly push the doors shut.
Temperature control is not set correctly.
• If the temperature is too warm, adjust the control one
increment at a time and wait for the temperature to
stabilize.
45
Problem Possible Cause & Solution
Icemaker is not
making
enough ice.
House water supply is not connected, valve is not turned
on fully, or valve is clogged.
• Connect the refrigerator to a cold water supply with
adequate pressure and turn the water shutoff valve
fully open. If the problem persists, it may be necessary
to contact a plumber.
Water filter has been exhausted on models with a water
filter.
• Replacing the water filter is recommended:
- Approximately every six months.
- When the water filter indicator turns on.
- When the water dispenser output decreases.
- When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.
Low house water supply pressure.
• The water supply pressure must be between 20 - 100
psi (140 - 690 kPa). If the problem persists, it may be
necessary to contact a plumber.
Tubing connecting refrigerator to house supply valve is
kinked.
• The tubing can kink when the refrigerator is moved
during installation or cleaning resulting in reduced
water flow. Straighten or repair the water supply line
and arrange it to prevent future kinks.
Doors are opened often or for long periods of time.
• If the doors of the unit are opened often, ambient air
will warm the refrigerator which will prevent the unit
from maintaining the set temperature. Lowering the
refrigerator temperature can help, as well as not
opening the doors as frequently.
Doors are not always closed completely.
• If the doors are not properly closed, ice production will
be affected.
46
Problem Possible Cause & Solution
Icemaker is not
making ice.
Refrigerator was recently installed or icemaker recently
connected.
• It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to
reach the desired temperature and for the icemaker to
begin making ice.
Icemaker is not turned on.
• Locate the icemaker ON/OFF and confirm that it is
turned on.
The refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the
supply shutoff valve is not turned on.
• Connect the refrigerator to the water supply and turn
the water shutoff valve fully open.
Reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to
your cold water supply.
• Reverse osmosis filtration systems can reduce the
water pressure below the minimum amount and result
in icemaker issues.
47
Problem Possible Cause & Solution
Ice has bad
taste or odor.
Water supply contains minerals such as sulfur.
• A water filter may need to be installed to eliminate
taste and odor problems. NOTE: In some cases, a filter
may not help. It may not be possible to remove all
minerals/odor/taste in all water supplies.
Icemaker was recently installed.
• Ice that has been stored for too long will shrink,
become cloudy, and may develop a stale taste. Throw
away old ice and make a new supply.
The food has not been stored properly in either
compartment.
• Rewrap the food. Odors may migrate to the ice if food
is not wrapped properly.
The interior of the refrigerator needs to be cleaned.
• See the Maintenance & Care section for more
information.
The ice storage bin needs to be cleaned.
• Empty and wash the bin (discard old cubes). Make
sure that the bin is completely dry before reinstalling
it.
Doors are
difficult to
open.
The gaskets are dirty or sticky.
• Clean the gaskets and the surfaces that they touch.
Rub a thin coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax on
the gaskets after cleaning.
Door was recently closed.
• When you open the door, warmer air enters the
refrigerator. As the warm air cools, it can create a
vacuum. If the door is hard to open, wait one minute
to allow the air pressure to equalize, then see if it
opens more easily.
48
Problem Possible Cause & Solution
Refrigerator
wobbles or
seems
unstable.
Leveling legs are not adjusted properly.
• Refer to the Leveling and Door Alignment section.
Floor is not level.
• It may be necessary to add shims under the leveling

odor.
Food is not tightly wrapped.
• Wrap odorous food tightly.
• Store food in sealed packaging.
• Check whether there is any rotten food.
The refrigerator needs to be cleaned.
• Refer to the "General Cleaning" section.
The interior of
the
refrigerator is
covered with
dust or soot.
The refrigerator is located near a fire source, such as a
fireplace, chimney, or candle.
• Make sure that the refrigerator is not located near a
fire source, such as a fireplace, chimney or candle.
Rattling
noises.
Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant,
the water line on the back of the unit, or items stored on
top of or around the refrigerator.
• Normal Operation
