POSSIBLE CAUSE
• Foods not covered, wrapped or sealed properly.
• Temperature control not set cold enough. Refer to Temperature Control section.
• Warm weather—frequent door openings.
• Door left open for too long a time.
• Package holding door open or blocking air duct in frozen food storage compartment.
• Door may have been left ajar or package holding door open.
• Too frequent or too long door openings.
• Frost within package is normal.
• Icemaker feeler arm is in STOP (up) position.
• Water supply turned off or not connected.
• Frozen food storage compartment too warm.
• Piled up cubes in the storage bin may cause icemaker to shut off prematurely.
Remove storage bin from freezer and level cubes by hand.
• Water shutoff valve connecting refrigerator to home water line may be clogged.
• Door may have been left ajar.
• Turn temperature control to colder setting.
• Ice storage bin needs to be emptied, washed and old cubes need to be discarded.
• Unsealed packages in refrigerator and/or frozen food storage compartments may
be transmitting odor/taste to ice cubes.
• Interior of refrigerator needs cleaning. Refer to Care and Cleaning section.
• Not unusual during periods of high humidity.
• Too frequent or too long door openings.
• In humid weather, air carries moisture into refrigerator when doors are opened.
• Move the anti-condensation switch to the ON position.
• Foods with strong odors should be tightly covered.

• Defrost water drainage system needs cleaning.
• Keep open box of baking soda in refrigerator; replace every three months.
