Solutions to Common Problems

Before you call...

If you experience a concern with your refrigerator or notice a product behavior or condition that you do not
understand, you can usually avoid a call to your service representative by referring to this section for an answer.
Beginning with the following table, this information includes concerns, potential causes, and common solutions.

together. • Ice cubes are hollow (shells of ice with water
inside). The hollow cubes break open in the
bin and leak their water onto existing ice,
which causes it to freeze together.

Odors In Refrigerator

Concern Potential Cause
Interior is dirty. • Interior needs to be cleaned.
• Food with strong odors is stored in refrigerator.
Odors
Common Solution
• Turn on ice maker by lowering the wire signal arm.
• Connect the unit to the household water supply and
ensure the supply valve is open.
• Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the
refrigerator is pushed into place against the wall.
• Remove and re-install the water filter. Be sure to
push the filter firmly so that you hear it lock solidly
into position.
• If water dispenses slowly or not at all, or if the filter is
six months old or older, it should be replaced.
• Turn off household water line valve. Remove valve.
Ensure that valve is not a self-piercing saddle valve.
Clean valve. Replace valve if necessary.
• The ice maker will produce approximately 2 to 2.5 lbs
(0.9 to 1.1 kg) of ice every 24 hours depending on
usage conditions.
• If the filter is six months old or older, it should be
replaced.
• Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the
refrigerator is pushed into place against the wall.
• Turn off household water line valve. Remove valve.
Ensure that valve is not a self-piercing saddle valve.
Clean valve. Replace valve if necessary.
• Press Fast Freeze to temporarily increase ice
production rate.
• Set freezer control to colder setting to improve
performance of the ice maker. Allow 24 hours for
temperature to stabilize.
• Have someone turn up the cut-off and cut-on
pressure on the water pump system (well system
only)
• It is normal for a reverse osmosis system to be
below 20 psi during the regenerative phase.
• Move the item and release wire signal arm. Remove
any ice cubes that may have frozen together over the
wire signal arm.
• Remove ice container and discard ice. The ice maker
will produce fresh supply. Ice should be used at least
twice weekly to keep the cubes separated.
• This generally occurs when the ice maker does
not get enough water. This is usually the result of a
clogged water filter. Replace the water filter.
Common Solution
• See Care & Cleaning Tips.
• Cover food tightly. Air filter may need to be
changed more frequently if foods with strong
odors are routinely stored in refrigerator.
