NOTE The ice bin should be emptied any time icemakers are turned Off.

If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualified technician drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding caused by ruptured water lines or connections.

Storing Food

NOTE

• If you are leaving home for a short period, like a short vacation, the refrigerator should be left on. Refrigerated foods that are able to be frozen will stay preserved longer if stored in the freezer.
• If you are leaving the refrigerator turned off for an extended period, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the door open to prevent fungi from growing in the refrigerator.
• If doors are opened or closed too often, warm air may penetrate the refrigerator and raise its temperature. This can increase the running costs of the unit.

Food Storage Tips

Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check date code to ensure freshness.

CAUTION

• Do not overfill or pack items too tightly into door bins. Doing so may cause damage to the bin or personal injury if items are removed with excessive force.
• Do not store glass containers in the freezer. Contents may expand when frozen, break the container and cause injury

How to Store Food

• Butter or Margarine
  • Keep opened butter in covered dish or closed compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze.
• Cheese
  • Store in original wrapping until used. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
• Milk
  • Wipe milk cartons. For coldest milk, place containers on an interior shelf.
• Eggs
  • Store in original carton on interior shelf, not on door shelf.
• Fruit
  • Do not wash or hull fruit until it is ready to be used. Sort and keep fruit in original container in a crisper, or store in completely closed paper bag on refrigerator shelf.
• Leafy Vegetables
  • Remove store wrapping, trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas, wash in cold water, and drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper.
• Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)
  • Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store in crisper.
• Fish
  • Freeze fresh fish and shellfish if they are not being eaten the same day purchased. Eating fresh fish and shellfish the same day purchased is recommended.
• Leftovers
  • Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or store in plastic containers with tight lids.

NOTE

• Do not store food with high moisture content towards the top of the refrigerator. The moisture could come into direct contact with the cold air and freeze.
• Wash food before storing it in the refrigerator. Vegetables should be washed, and food packaging should be wiped down to prevent adjacent foods from being contaminated.
• If the refrigerator is kept in a hot and humid place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of vegetables in the refrigerator may cause ondensation to form. Wipe off the condensation with a clean cloth or a paper towel.

Storing Frozen Food

Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook for further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 pounds of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (how airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.

NOTE • Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, and then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on correct packaging. When you close and seal the package, it must not allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and could also dry out frozen food.

Packaging Recommendations

• Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids
• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
• Heavy-duty aluminum foil
• Plastic-coated paper
• Non-permeable plastic wraps
• Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Do not use

• Bread wrappers
• Non-polyethylene plastic containers
• Containers without tight lids
• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
• Thin, semi-permeable wrap

     • 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.
   • The refrigerator control is set to OFF (some models).
     • Turn the control ON. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for proper temperature settings.
   • Refrigerator is set to Demo Mode.
     • Demo Mode allows the lights and control display to work normally while disabling cooling, to save energy while the refrigerator is on the showroom floor. See the FAQs section of this manual for instructions on how to disable Demo Mode.
   • 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.
2. 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. (Refer to the Food Storage Guide.)
   • Doors are not closed completely.

   • 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).
   • Condenser / back cover is clogged.
     • Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not remove the panel covering the condenser coil area.
3. 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 closed correctly.
     • See the "Doors will not close correctly or pop open" section.
   • 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.
4. 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. Refer to the Control Panel section for more information.
   • 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).

   • 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
7. 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.
   • Door is not closing properly.
     • Refer to the "Doors will not close correctly or pop open" section in the Troubleshooting.
8. 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.

Craft Ice

1. Icemaker is not making ice.
   • Refrigerator was recently installed or icemaker recently connected.
     • The icemaker begins producing ice approximately 48 hours after the appliance is initially installed. The first batches of ice may not be round and clear.
2. Icemaker is not making enough ice.
   • In 3 ICE mode, the Craft Ice icemaker produces 1 batch of round ice about every 24 hours.
     • For more ice, select the 6 ICE mode which produces 2 batches every 24 hours.

Ice

1. Icemaker is not making enough ice.
   • Demand exceeds ice production capacity.
     • Refer to the Automatic Icemaker section for ice production capacity to check the amount of ice produced in a 24 hour period.
   • 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
   • Water filter has been exhausted.
     • 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 pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi (138 and 827 kPa) on models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 psi (276 and 827 kPa) on models with a water filter. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact a plumber.
   • Reverse osmosis filtration system is used.
     • Reverse osmosis filtration systems can reduce the water pressure below the minimum amount and result in icemaker issues. (Refer to the Connecting the Water Line section.)
   • 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 closed completely.
     • If the doors are not properly closed, ice production will be affected. See the "Doors will not close correctly or pop open" section in Parts & Features Troubleshooting for more information.
   • The temperature setting for the freezer is too warm.
     • The recommended temperature for the freezer compartment for normal ice production is 0 °F (-18 °C). If the freezer temperature is warmer, ice production will be affected.
2. Icemaker is not making ice
