Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets and contact surfaces with mild soap and warm water. Rinse and dry
with soft cloth.
TEMPERATURE AND MOISTURE
Temperature is too warm
• New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator to cool completely.
• Door(s) opened often or left open? Allows warm air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door openings and
keep doors fully closed.
• Large load of food added? Allow several hours for refrigerator to return to normal temperature.
• Controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions? Adjust the controls a setting colder. Check
temperature in 24 hours. See “Using the Control(s).”
Temperature is too cold in refrigerator
• Refrigerator air vent blocked? If the air vent located in the top, left, rear corner of the refrigerator
compartment is blocked by items placed directly in front of it, the refrigerator will get too cold. Move
items away from the air vent.
• Ice storage bin in correct position? See “Ice Maker and Ice Storage Bin.”
• Controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions? Adjust the controls a setting warmer. Check
temperature in 24 hours. See “Using the Control(s).”
There is interior moisture buildup
NOTE: Some moisture buildup is normal.
• Humid room? Contributes to moisture buildup.
• Door(s) opened often or left open? Allows humid air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door openings and
keep doors fully closed.
ICE AND WATER
The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice
• Refrigerator connected to a water supply and the supply shutoff valve turned on? Connect
refrigerator to water supply and turn water shutoff valve fully open.
• Kink in the water source line? A kink in the line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water source
line.
• Ice maker turned on? Make sure ice maker is on. See “Ice Maker and Ice Storage Bin.”
• New installation? Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation for ice production to begin. Wait 72 hours for
full ice production.
• Refrigerator door closed completely? Close the door firmly.
If it does not close completely, see “The doors will not close completely.”
• Large amount of ice recently removed? Allow 24 hours for ice maker to produce more ice.
• Ice cube jammed in the ice maker ejector arm? Remove ice from the ejector arm with a plastic
utensil.
• Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Remove filter and operate ice maker. If ice volume
improves, then the filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. Replace filter or reinstall it correctly.
• Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? This can decrease
water pressure.
The ice cubes are hollow or small
NOTE: This is an indication of low water pressure.
• Water shutoff valve not fully open? Turn the water shutoff valve fully open.
• Kink in the water source line? A kink in the line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water source
line.
• Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Remove filter and operate ice maker. If ice quality improves,
then the filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. Replace filter or reinstall it correctly.
• Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? This can decrease
water pressure.
• Questions remain regarding water pressure?
