safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or

“WARNING.” These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you

what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

5. Using a grounded drill, drill a ¹⁄₄ in. hole in the cold water pipe

you have selected.

Connecting the Refrigerator

to a Water Source

Read all directions carefully before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

If operating the refrigerator before installing the water

connection, turn ice maker to the OFF position to prevent

operation without water.

All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing

code requirements.

1. Cold Water Pipe

2. Pipe Clamp

3. Copper Tubing

4. Compression Nut

5. Compression Sleeve

6. Shut-Off Valve

7. Packing Nut

Use copper tubing and check for leaks.

Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures will

remain above freezing.

It may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to begin

producing ice.

6. Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be

sure outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄ in. drilled hole in the water

pipe and that washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten

packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws carefully and

evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten

or you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled)

copper tubing is used. Now you are ready to connect the

copper tubing.

Tools required:

Standard screwdriver

⁷⁄₁₆ in. and ¹⁄₂ in. open-end wrenches or two adjustable

wrenches

¹⁄₄ in. nut driver

¹⁄₄ in. drill bit

7. Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper

tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely

as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end

with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a

¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) saddle-type shut-off valve, a union, and copper

tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve

complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-

type or ³⁄₁₆ in. (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow

and clogs more easily.

8. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and

turn ON main water supply and flush out tubing until water is

clear. Turn OFF shut-off valve on the water pipe. Coil copper

tubing.

Cold water supply

Connecting to refrigerator:

The ice maker water valve contains a flow washer which is used

as a water pressure regulator. The ice maker needs to be

connected to a cold water line with water pressure between 30

and 120 psi. If a problem occurs, call your utility company.

1. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression

nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do

not overtighten. Use the tube clamp on the back of the

refrigerator to secure the tubing to the refrigerator as shown.

This will help prevent damage to the tubing when the

Connecting to water line:

refrigerator is pushed back against the wall. Move to step 2.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn shut-off valve ON. Check for leaks. Tighten any

connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that

leak.

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long

enough to clear line of water.

3. Locate a ½ in. to 1¹⁄₄ in. (12.7 mm to 3.18 cm) vertical COLD

water pipe near the refrigerator.

NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure

must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the

bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This

also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

4. To determine the length of copper tubing you will need,

measure from connection on lower left rear of refrigerator to

water pipe. Add 7 ft. (2.1 m) to allow for moving refrigerator

for cleaning. Use ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter)

copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut

square.

1. Tube Clamp

2. Copper Tubing

3. Compression Nut

4. Valve Inlet

3. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If

local water conditions require periodic cleaning or a well is

your source of water supply, a second water strainer should

be installed in the ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) water line. Obtain a water

strainer from your nearest appliance dealer. Install at either

tube connection.

4. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Understanding Sounds You May Hear

NORMAL

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t

make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be

concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard

surfaces, like the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the sounds

seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the

kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

If your product is equipped with an ice maker, you will hear a

buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the ice

maker for each cycle.

Style 2

The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost cycle

begins and ends. Also, the Thermostat Control (or

Refrigerator Control depending on the model) will click when

cycling on and off.

Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the

water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.

NOTE: If your model has a base grille filter system, make sure the

base grille filter is properly installed and the cap is in the

horizontal position. If your model has an interior water filter

system, move to step 2.

Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep

your food items at the desired temperature. The high

efficiency compressor may cause your new refrigerator to run

longer than your old one, and you may hear a pulsating or

high-pitched sound.

2. Install the interior water filter cartridge. The interior water filter

mounting bracket is located in the upper corner of the fresh

food compartment of the refrigerator.

Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle

may cause a sizzling sound.

NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically

unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate

disinfection before or after the system.

You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating the air

through the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

Carefully remove the interior water filter cartridge from its

packaging. Remove the red cap from the cartridge.

As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to

the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.

Apply the appropriate month sticker to the cartridge as a

reminder to replace the cartridge within six months. Then

apply the “Water Filter Replacement Reminder” sticker to

your calendar.

Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a

popping noise.

You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the

condenser fan.

You may hear water running into the drain pan during the

defrost cycle.

Line up the INSTALL mark on the water filter label with the

indicator line that is molded into the filter mounting bracket

cover. Push the cartridge into the filter mounting bracket.

Twist the cartridge ¹⁄₄ turn to the right to lock it into place. The

REMOVE mark should be lined-up with the indicator line

located on the front cover.

3. Flush the water system by dispensing and discarding

2 to 3 gallons (8 to12 liters) or approximately 6 to 7 minutes of

water through the dispenser. This will clean the system and

help clear air from the lines. Additional flushing may be

required in some households.

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out

of the dispenser.

4. Inspect the filter system for water leaks. If you see water

leaks, see the “Troubleshooting” section.

USING YOUR

REFRIGERATOR

Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before

adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into

the refrigerator.

Ensuring Proper Air Circulation

IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled

completely, your food may spoil. Adjusting the Refrigerator and

Freezer Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended

setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit air to

flow between the two sections. Cold air enters the bottom of the

freezer section and moves up. It then enters the refrigerator

section through the top vent. Air then returns to the freezer as

shown.

Adjusting Control Settings

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding

food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the

refrigerator. The settings indicated in the previous section should

be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls

are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and

when ice cream is firm.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer,

use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Wait at least

24 hours between adjustments.

3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

NOTE: The first few batches of ice may have an off-flavor

from new plumbing and parts. Throw the ice away. Also, take

large amounts of ice from the ice bin, not through the

dispenser.

Water and Ice Dispensers

(on some models)

The water dispenser

WARNING

If you did not flush the water system when the refrigerator was

first installed, press the water dispenser bar with a glass or jar

until you draw and discard 2 to 3 gallons (8 to 12 liters) or

approximately 6 to 7 minutes of water. It will take three to four

minutes for the water to begin dispensing. The water you draw

and discard cleans the system and helps clear air for the lines.

Allow several hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill

water.

IMPORTANT: Depending on your model, the small removable

tray at the bottom of the dispenser is designed to catch small

spills and allow for easy cleaning. There is no drain in the tray.

The tray can be removed from the dispenser and carried to the

sink to be emptied or cleaned.

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice or water.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the

following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed

ice, a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a

lock option to avoid accidental dispensing.

The ice dispenser

Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer. When

the dispenser lever is pressed:

To dispense water:

1. Press a glass against the water dispenser lever.

2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

NOTE: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh

supply.

A trap door opens in a chute between the dispenser and the

ice bin.

Ice moves from the bin and falls through the chute.

When you release the dispenser lever, the trap door closes

and the ice dispensing stops. The dispensing system will not

operate when the freezer door is open.

Some models dispense both cubed and crushed ice. Before

dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer. The button

controls are designed for easy use and cleaning.

The dispenser light

The dispenser area has a light. It can be turned on manually by

pressing the ON button at the right hand side of the control

panel. The red indicator above the ON button will appear. On

some models: Whenever you use the dispenser the lever will

automatically turn the light on.

For crushed ice, press the CRUSH button until the red

indicator appears in the window above the CRUSH button.

NOTE: See the “Changing the Light Bulbs” section for

information on changing the dispenser light bulb.

For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This

may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise

from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size.

When changing from CRUSH to CUBE, a few ounces of crushed

ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

On models without crushed ice, the light switch is a rocker-style

type. Push the switch to turn the light on, and push again to turn

the light off.

The dispenser lock (on some models)

To dispense ice:

Interior Water Filtration System

(on some models)

MAX

The interior water filter cartridge is located in the upper corner of

the fresh food compartment of the refrigerator. The interior water

filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or earlier if

the flow of water to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases

noticeably.

NORMAL

Replacing the interior water filter cartridge

1. Twist the interior water filter cartridge ¹⁄₄ turn to the left. The

INSTALL mark will be lined up with the indicator line located

on the filter mounting bracket cover.

To increase ice production rate:

2. Gently pull down on the cartridge to remove it from the filter

mounting bracket assembly. To prevent water from spilling

inside the refrigerator, DO NOT TIP the cartridge. Dispose of

the cartridge.

Normal Ice Production: In normal ice production mode, the

ice maker should produce approximately 7 to 9 batches of ice

in a 24-hour period. If ice is not being made fast enough, turn

the Freezer Control toward a higher (colder) number in half

number steps. (For example, if the control is at 3, move it to

between 3 and 4.) Wait 24 hours and, if necessary, gradually

turn the Freezer Control to the highest setting, waiting 24

hours between each increase.

3. Install the new interior water filter cartridge. You can run the

dispenser without a water filter cartridge, but your water will

not be filtered.

NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically

unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate

disinfection before or after the system.

Maximum Ice Production (on some models): In maximum

ice production, the ice maker should produce approximately

10 to 14 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If your refrigerator

has the maximum ice production feature, push the switch to

MAX.

Carefully remove the interior water filter cartridge from its

packaging. Remove the red cap from the cartridge.

Apply the appropriate month sticker to the cartridge as a

connected at the source?

Check to be sure the water shut-off valve is turned on and the

water source is connected to the refrigerator. Refer to the

“Connecting the Refrigerator to a Water Source” section for

directions.

Does the water contain minerals (such as sulfur)?

A filter may need to be installed to remove the minerals.

Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator?

Grey or dark discoloration in ice indicates that the water

filtration system needs additional flushing. Run additional

water through the water dispenser to flush the water filtration

system more thoroughly (at least 2 to 3 gallons or 6 to 7

minutes initially). Discard discolored ice.

Is the water shut-off valve clogged or incorrectly

installed?

Refer to the “Connecting the Refrigerator to a Water Source”

section. If clogging or installation is not a problem, call for

service or contact a plumber.

The ice dispenser will not operate properly

Is there a kink in the home water source line?

If you find or suspect a kink in the water line, call for service.

Is the freezer door closed completely?

Push the door firmly shut. If it will not shut all the way, see

“The doors will not close completely” later in this section.

Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator?

The filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. First, check

the filter installation instructions to ensure that the filter was

installed correctly and is not clogged. If installation or

clogging is not a problem, call for service.

Is the ice bin or bucket installed correctly?

For models with an interior ice bin, push the ice bin in all the

way. If the ice bin does not go in all the way, it may not be put

in straight. Pull it out and try again. For models with an ice

bucket, the bucket should sit level on the freezer door. To

remove the bucket, press the release button on the right side

of the bucket and lift straight up. Replace the bucket in the

door making sure it is properly aligned and snapped securely

into place. Refer to the “Ice Maker and Storage Bin/Bucket”

section.

Water or ice is leaking from the dispenser

Is the glass not being held under the ice dispenser long

enough, causing the ice to spill?

Hold the container under the ice chute for two to three

seconds after releasing the dispenser lever. A small amount

of ice may dispense after the lever is released.

Has the wrong ice been added to the bin or bucket?

Use only cubes produced by the current ice maker. If other

cubes have been added, remove all cubes and check to see

that none have become stuck in the delivery chute.

Is the glass not being held under the water dispenser long

enough, causing water to drip?

Hold the container under the water dispenser two to three

seconds after releasing the dispenser lever. Water may

continue to dispense during this time.

Has the ice frozen in the ice bin or bucket?

Shake the ice bin or bucket to separate cubes. If cubes do

not separate, empty bin or bucket and wait 24 hours for ice to

restock.

Is an ice cube stuck in the chute and holding the trap

door open?

Remove the cube.

Has the ice melted around the auger (metal spiral) in the

ice bucket?

Dump the ice cubes and clean the ice bucket completely.

Allow 24 hours for the ice maker to restock. Do not try to

remove the melted ice with a sharp object. You could damage

the ice bucket.

Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator?

The water filtration system may have air in the lines, causing

water to drip. Additional flushing may help clear air from the

lines. Normal dispenser use should flush air from the lines

within 24 to 72 hours.

Was a self-defrost cycle completed?

It is normal for droplets to form on the back wall after the

refrigerator self-defrosts.

The dispenser water is not cool enough

Has the refrigerator been newly installed?

Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool completely.

The doors will not close completely

Has a large amount of water been recently dispensed?

Allow 24 hours for the water to cool completely.

Are food packages blocking the door open?

Rearrange containers so that they fit more tightly and take up

less space.

Has water not been recently dispensed?

The first glass of water may not be cool. Discard the first

glass of water.

Is the ice bin or ice bucket out of position?

For models with an interior ice bin, push the ice bin in all the

way. If the ice bin does not go in all the way, it may not be put

in straight. Pull it out and try again. For models with an ice

bucket, the bucket should sit level on the freezer door. To

remove the bucket, press the release button on the right side

of the bucket and lift straight up. Replace the bucket in the

door making sure it is properly aligned and snapped securely

into place. Refer to the “Ice Maker and Storage Bin/Bucket”

section.

The divider between the two compartments is warm

The warmth is probably due to normal operation of the

automatic exterior moisture control. If still concerned, call for

service.

Temperature is too warm

Are the pans, shelves, bins, or baskets out of position?

Put the crisper cover and all pans, shelves, bins, and baskets

back into their correct positions. See the “Crisper and Crisper

Cover” section for more information.

Are the air vents blocked in either compartment? This

prevents the movement of cold air from the freezer to the

refrigerator.

Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. Refer to the

“Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” section for the location of air

vents.

Are the gaskets sticking?

Clean gaskets according to the directions in the “Cleaning

Your Refrigerator” section.

Are the door(s) opened often?

Does the refrigerator wobble or seem unstable?

Level the refrigerator. Refer to the “Door Closing” or “Leveling

Your Refrigerator” section, depending on your model.

Be aware that the refrigerator will warm when this occurs. In

order to keep the refrigerator cool, 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.

Were the doors removed during product installation and

not properly replaced?

Remove and replace the doors according to the “Removing

the Doors” section on some models, or call a qualified service

technician.

Has a large amount of food just been added to the

refrigerator or freezer?

Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. It can

take several hours for the refrigerator to return to the normal

temperature.

The doors are difficult to open

Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding

conditions?

Refer to the “Setting the Controls” section.

Are the gaskets dirty or sticky?

Clean gaskets according to the directions in the “Cleaning

Your Refrigerator” section.

There is interior moisture build-up

Water flow from the dispenser decreases noticeably

Are the air vents blocked in the refrigerator?

Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. Refer to the

“Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” section for the location of air

vents.

Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The

filter may be full or incorrectly installed. Depending on your

model, remove the water filter cartridge (see the “Base Grille

Water Filtration and Monitoring System or Interior Water

Filtration System” section.) Operate the dispenser. If the

water flow increases noticeably, your filter is full and needs to

be replaced.

Are the door(s) opened often?

To avoid humidity build-up, 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.

(When the door is opened, humidity from the room air enters

the refrigerator. The more often the door is opened, the faster

humidity builds up, especially when the room itself is very

humid.)

Is the room humid?

It is normal for moisture to build up inside the refrigerator

when the room air is humid.

Is the food packaged correctly?

Check that all food is securely wrapped. Wipe off damp food

containers before placing in the refrigerator.

Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding

conditions?

Refer to the “Setting the Controls” section.
