Important Facts About Your Dispenser
- Do not add ice from trays or bags to the door ice maker bucket. It may not crush or dispense.
- Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the chute or cause the door in the chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute remove the ice bucket, poke it through with a wooden spoon.
- Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the door ice maker bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage drawer may cause the ice maker or auger to jam.
- To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.
- Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBED ICE. This happens occasionally when a few cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher.
- After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the chute.
- Sometimes a small mound of snow will form on the door in the ice chute. This condition is normal and usually occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly. The snow will eventually evaporate.

About the automatic ice maker.
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Automatic Ice maker (on some models)
The ice maker will produce seven cubes per cycle approximately 100–130 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions.
The ice maker will fill with water when it cools to 15°F (–10°C). A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes. If the refrigerator is operated before the water line connection is made to the unit or if the water supply to an operating refrigerator is turned off, make sure that the ice maker is turned off. Once the water has been connected to the refrigerator, the ice maker may be turned on. See the table below for details.
You may hear a buzzing sound each time the ice maker fills with water.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the ice maker will stop producing ice. It is normal for several cubes to be joined together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water pressure, you may hear the ice maker cycle multiple times when making one batch of ice.
WARNING To minimize the risk of personal injury, avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
Cleaning the Outside
The stainless steel panels, door handles and trim.
Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach, or other products containing chlorine on stainless steel.
Stainless steel can be cleaned with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner. A spray-on stainless steel cleaner works best.
Silver-accented plastic parts.
Wash parts with soap or other mild detergents. Wipe clean with a sponge, damp cloth or paper towel.
Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and weaken the paint finish.
Should spill tray need cleaning use lime remover.
Cleaning the Inside
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
If this is not practical, wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning around switches, lights or controls.
Use an appliance wax polish on the inside surface between the doors.
Use warm water and baking soda solution—about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water.
This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
CAUTION Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Glass shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact such as bumping or dropping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small pieces if it breaks.
Behind the Refrigerator
Be careful when moving the refrigerator away from the wall. All types of floor coverings can be damaged, particularly cushioned coverings and those with embossed surfaces.
Raise the leveling legs located at the bottom front of the refrigerator.
Pull the refrigerator straight out and return it to position by pushing it straight in. Moving the refrigerator in a side direction may result in damage to the floor covering or refrigerator.
Lower the leveling legs until they touch the floor.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don’t roll over the power cord or water supply line.

Truth or Myth
| Truth or Myth? | Answer | Explanation |
| The refrigerator water filter may require replacement, even though the filter indicator has not turned red, or reads “Filter Expired." | TRUE | The water filter indicator will indicate the need to replace the water filter every six months. Water quality varies from city to city; if water flow from the dispenser slows, or ice production decreases, the water filter should be replaced, even though the filter indicator may not indicate the need for replacement. |
| The automatic ice maker in my refrigerator will produce ice when the refrigerator is plugged in to a power receptacle. | MYTH | The refrigerator must be connected to water, and the ice maker must be turned on. Make sure the ice maker is turned on, only after the water line is connected and water is turned on. The ice maker can be turned on/ off from the controls and ensure the ice maker is on, as indicated on the refrigerator control panel. See About the Automatic Ice Maker |
| After the refrigerator has been plugged in and connected to water, I will immediately have unlimited chilled water available from the water dispenser. | MYTH | The water dispenser tank located inside the refrigerator stores water for dispensing. The water in this tank requires 24 hours to chill after installation. High usage conditions will not allow time for the water to chill. |
| After water dispenses, a few drops of water are normal. | TRUE | A few drops of water may fall from the dispenser, after the dispenser paddle has been released. To minimize the drops, remove the glass slowly from the dispenser |
| I will never see frost inside the freezer compartment. | MYTH | Frost inside the freezer typically indicates that the door is not properly sealed, or has been left open. If frost is found, clear the frost using a plastic spatula and towel, then check to ensure that no food packages or containers are preventing the freezer door from closing. Check the refrigerator control panel to ensure the door alarm is on. |
| When the refrigerator is installed, or after replacing the water filter, I must dispense water for five minutes. | TRUE | A newly installed refrigerator or water filter contains air in the water lines. Press the dispenser paddle and dispense cold water for at least 5 minutes to remove air from the water line, and flush the filter |
| To fill the ice bucket to the maximum capacity, I should dispense 12 and 18 hours after installation. | TRUE | Dispensing 3-4 cubes 12 hours and 18 hours after installation, allows ice to disperse within the ice bucket, which in turns calls on the ice maker to produce additional ice. Normal ice production = 100 cubes in 24 hours. |
| I can use the water filter bypass plug to determine if the filter requires replacement. | TRUE | Decrease in flow from the water dispenser, or decreased ice production, may indicate the need to replace the water filter. Install the water filter bypass plug (provided with the refrigerator), and check flow from the dispenser. If water flow returns to normal with the bypass plug in place, replace the water filter. |
| The top of the refrigerator doors will always be aligned. | MYTH | Several things can affect the fresh food door alignment, including the floor the refrigerator is installed on and loading of doors. If the top of the fresh food doors are not aligned, use a 1/4” allen wrench to adjust the right/left hand door. The adjustment screw is located on the bottom right or left hand side of the door; open the freezer door to access the screw. On some models, the left hand fresh food door may be raised using spacers. Call 800-GECARES to obtain the spacers. |
| Refrigerator door handles can be easily tightened. | TRUE | If door handles are loose or have a gap, the handle can be adjusted using a 1/8” allen wrench, on set screws located on the ends of the handles. |
| There may be odor and taste problems with your ice. | TRUE | After starting the ice maker throw away 24 hours of ice production to avoid odor and taste problems. |
| I can make fine adjustments to the fresh food doors to align them. | TRUE | If the fresh food doors are not aligned, use a 1/4” Allen wrench to adjust the right hand door. The adjustment screw is located on the bottom of the right door. Open the freezer door to access. The left hand fresh food door may be raised using spacers. Call 800-GECARES to obtain the spacers. |
| Door handles should always be removed for installation. | MYTH | Check chart on reverse side of this instruction. If the doors must be removed do not remove the handles, or if the refrigerator will fit easily through the passage way opening. Adjust handles that are loose or have a gap, by adjusting 1/8” set screws on either end of handles. |
| Door removal is always required for installation. | MYTH | Check chart on reverse side of this instruction. Doors should only be removed when necessary to prevent damage from passage way or access to final location. |
| Refrigerator doors that won’t close after installation, can be adjusted to close properly. | TRUE | Door mechanism works best if installed at 90°+. If installed at 180°, remove the door from the mid hinge, and swing the door 180° before reinstalling. See Reinstalling the Refrigerator Doors. |
| There is an adjustment to rear wheels. | MYTH | Front leveling legs are adjustable and should be used to balance the refrigerator. Leveling legs are used to make initial fresh food door adjustment. |
| Check for leaks after all water connections are made. | TRUE | While purging the air from the water system, check all water line connections for leaks. Check the connection to the household water supply at back of refrigerator, and door water line connect. |
| My LCD display will always be on when I plug the power cord in at installation. | MYTH | If the refrigerator has been stored in a cold environment, the LCD may be slow to give a proper display. Give the refrigerator enough time to warm up, and the display should be okay. |
| Any packaging residue can be cleaned off the refrigerator using any cleaner. | MYTH | Do not use wax, polish, bleach, or other products containing chlorine on Stainless Steel panels, door handles and trim. Check this instruction under “Cleaning the Outside” for full details. |
