WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions
Gaskets are dirty or sticky: Clean the gaskets and contact surfaces with mild soap and warm
■
water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
Door is blocked open: Move food packages away from the door. Make sure all bins and shelves
■
are in their correct positions. Make sure all packaging materials have been removed.
Doors need to be aligned, or refrigerator needs to be leveled: See the leveling and door
■
alignment instructions.
Refrigerator is not level: To stabilize the refrigerator, remove the base grille and lower the
■
leveling feet until they touch the floor. See the leveling and door alignment instructions.
WARNING
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions
Refrigerator is not connected to a water supply, or the water supply shutoff valve is not fully
■
turned on: Connect the refrigerator to a water supply and make sure the water shutoff valve
is fully open.
Kink in the water source line: A kink in the water line can reduce water flow, resulting in
■
decreased ice production, small ice cubes, and/or hollow or irregularly-shaped ice. Straighten
the water line.
Ice maker is not turned on: Turn on the ice maker. See the "Ice Maker and Storage Bin" section
■
in the User Instructions or User Guide.
New installation: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the water system.
■
(See the "Water and Ice Dispensers" section in the User Instructions or User Guide.) Wait 24
hours for ice production to begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice production. Discard the first three
batches of ice produced.
Large amount of ice was recently removed: Allow sufficient time for the ice maker to produce
■
more ice.
Ice is jammed in the ice maker ejector arm: Remove ice from the ejector arm using a
■
plastic utensil.
Inadequate water pressure: Verify that the household has adequate water pressure. See the
■
"Water Supply Requirements" section.
Water filter is installed incorrectly: Make sure the filter is properly installed. See the "Water
■
Filtration System" section in the User Instructions or User Guide.
A reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply: This can
■
decrease water pressure. See the "Water Supply Requirements" section.
NOTE: If questions remain regarding water pressure, contact a licensed, qualified plumber.
