  • Empty the ice bin. If your icemaker is equipped with an ice shutoff arm, make sure that the arm moves freely. If your icemaker is equipped with the electronic ice shut-off sensor, make sure that there is a clear path between the two sensors. Reinstall the ice bin and wait 24 hours to confirm proper operation.

Ice is not dispensing.

• Doors are not closed completely.
  • Ice will not dispense if any of the refrigerator doors are left open.
• Infrequent use of the dispenser.
  • Infrequent use of the ice dispenser will cause the cubes to stick together over time, which will prevent them from properly dispensing. Check the ice bin for ice cubes clumping/sticking together. If they are, break up the ice cubes to allow for proper operation.
• The delivery chute is clogged with frost or ice fragments.
  • Eliminate the frost or ice fragments by removing the ice bin and clearing the chute with a plastic utensil. Dispensing cubed ice can also help prevent frost or ice fragment buildup.
• The dispenser display is locked.
  • Press and hold the Lock button for three seconds to unlock the control panel and dispenser.
• Ice bin is empty.
  • It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature and for the icemaker to begin making ice. Make sure that the shut-off (arm/sensor) is not obstructed. Once the ice supply in the bin has been completely exhausted, it may take up to 90 minutes before additional ice is available, and approximately 24 hours to completdispensedl the bin.

Water is dispensed slowly

• 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.
• Reverse osmosis filtration system is used.
  • Reverse osmosis filtration systems can reduce the water pressure below the minimum amount and result in icemaker issues. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact a plumber or install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.
• Low house water supply pressure.
  • The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi (138 - 827 kPfilterodels without a water filter and between 40 and 120 psi (276 – 827 kPa) on models with a water filter. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact a plumber or install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure

Water is not dispensing.

• New installation or water line recently connected.
  • Dispense 2.5 gallons of water (flush for approximately 5 minutes) to remove trapped air and contaminants from the system. Do not dispense the entire 2.5-gallon amount continuously. Depress and release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF.
• The dispenser panel is locked.
  • Press and hold the Lock button for three seconds to unlock the control panel and dispenser.
• Refrigerator or freezer doors are not closed properly.
  • Water will not dispense if any of the refrigerator filters left open.
• Water filter has been recently removed or replaced.
  • After the water filter is replaced, dispense 2.5-gallons of water (flush for approximately 5 minutes) to remove trapped air and contaminants from the system. Do not dispense the entire 2.5-gallon amount continuously. Depress and release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF.
• Tubing connecting refrigerator to house supply valve is kinked.
  • The tubing can kink when the refrigerator is moved during installation or cleaning following reducing water flow. Straighten or repair the water supply line and arrange it to prevent future kinks.
• The house water supply is not connected, the valve is not turned on fully, or the valve is clogged.
  • Connect the refrigerator to the water supply and turn the water shutoff valve fully open. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact a plumber.

Dispensing warm water.

• Refrigerator was recently installed.
  • Allow 24 hours after installation for the water storage tank to cool completely.
• The water dispenser has been used recently and the storage tank was exhausted.
  • Depending on your specific model, the water storage capacity will range from approximately 20 to 30 oz.
• Dispenser has not been used for several hours.
  • If the dispenser has not been used for several hours, the first glass dispensed may be warm. Discard the first 10 oz.
• Refrigerator is connected to the hot water supply.
  • Make sure that the refrigerator is connected to a cold water pip

Water has a 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.
• 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.
• Refrigerator was recently installed.
  • Dispense 2.5 gallons of water (flush for approximately 5 minutes) to remove trapped air and contaminants from the system. Do not dispense the entire 2.5-gallon amount continuously. Depress and release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF
