Temperature Controls

Max Ice
When activated, Max Ice reduces the freezer temperature to the optimum setting for 24 hours in
order to produce more ice. Note: When the Max Ice feature is in operation, the UP and DOWN
pads for the freezer control will not operate.
Water Filter Indicator
When a water filter has been installed in the refrigerator, the yellow Order light will illuminate
when 90 percent of the volume of water for which the filter is rated has passed through the filter.
The red Replace light will illuminate when the rated volume of water has passed through the
filter. A new filter should be installed immediately when the Replace light is illuminated. After
replacing the filter, press and hold the WaterFilter Indicator button for three seconds. The Order
and Replace lights will go off.
Vacation Mode (some models)
The Vacation Mode feature causes the freezer to defrost less frequently, conserving energy. The
Vacation Mode indicator light will illuminate when the feature is activated. To deactivate, press
the Vacation Mode pad again OR open either door. The indicator light will go out. NOTE: Door
openings will not deactivate the Vacation Mode for approximately one hour after activation. If
vacationing for more than a few days, see the Preparing for Vacation section, page 27.
High Temp Alarm
The High Temp Alarm system will alert you if the freezer or refrigerator temperatures exceed
normal operating temperatures due to a power outage or other event. When activated, the High
Temp Alarm light will illuminate. If the freezer or refrigerator temperatures have exceeded these
limits, the display will alternately show the current compartment temperatures and the highest
compartment temperatures reached when the power was out. An audible alarm will sound
repeatedly. Press the High Temp Alarm pad once to stop the audible alarm. The High Temp
Alarm light will continue to flash and the temperatures will alternate until the temperatures have
stabilized. To turn off High Temp Alarm, press and hold the High Temp Alarm pad for three
seconds. The indicator light will go off.
Moisture Control (on some models)
The moisture control feature turns on a heater to help reduce moisture on the door hinge seal.
Use in humid environments or when you notice moisture on the door hinge seal. The refrigerator
uses more energy when moisture control is ON. Press Moisture Control to turn the door heater
ON. Press Moisture Control again to turn the heater OFF. The LED will be illuminated when
Moisture Control is ON.
Door Open Alarm
The Door Open Alarm will alert you when one of the doors has been left open for five
continuous minutes. When this happens, an audible alarm will sound every few seconds until the
door is closed OR press the Door Open Alarm pad to deactivate the feature.

Max Cold
When activated, Max Cold causes the refrigerator and freezer temperatures to drop to the
minimum settings on the control. This cools down the refrigerator and freezer after extended

controls will not operate.
To activate, press the Max Cold pad. Max Cold will deactivate automatically after 12 hours, OR
press the Max Cold pad to deactivate the feature.

Warm Cabinet Surfaces
At times, the front of the refrigerator cabinet may be warm to the touch. This is a normal

more noticeable when the refrigerator is first started, during hot weather and after excessive or
lengthy door openings.
