THE REFRIGERATOR SEEMS TO MAKE TOO MUCH NOISE
Check if... Then...
The sounds may be normal for your refrigerator. Refer to the UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
section on page 31.
THE ICEMAKER IS NOT PRODUCING ICE OR NOT ENOUGH ICE
Check if... Then...
New installation.
The refrigerator is not connected to a water supply
or the supply shutoff valve is not turned on.
Reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to your cold water supply.
Kink in the water source line.
Large amount of ice recently has been removed.
The icemaker is not turned on.
The temperature setting for the freezer is too
warm.
The doors are opened often.
The doors are not closing properly.
Ultra Ice is not selected.
Wait 24 hours after icemaker installation for ice production to
begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice production.
Connect refrigerator to the water supply and turn water shutoff
valve fully open.
Reverse osmosis filtration systems can reduce the water
pressure below the minimum amount (20 psi) and result in
icemaker issues.
A kink in the line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water
source line.
Allow 24 hours for icemaker to produce more ice.
Locate the icemaker on/off switch and confirm it is in the On (1)
position.
Below 0°F is the recommended temperature for the freezer
compartment for normal ice production. If the freezer
temperature is warmer, ice production will be affected.
If the doors of the unit are opened often, the cold air will
escape which will prevent the unit from maintaining the set
temperature. Lowering the temperature can help, as well as
not opening the doors as frequently.
If the doors are not properly closed, ice production will be
affected.
With this option, the cold air in the compartment is increased
as is ice production.
THE DOORS ARE DIFFICULT TO OPEN
Check if...
The gaskets are dirty or sticky.
The door is reopened within a short time after
having been opened.
Then...
Clean gaskets and the surfaces that they touch. Rub a thin
coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax on the gaskets after
cleaning.
When you open the door, warmer air enters the refrigerator.
As the warm air cools, it can create a vacuum. If the door is
hard to open, wait 5 minutes to allow the air pressure to
equalize, then see if it opens more easily.
