The Door Ajar Alarm feature sounds an alarm when the
refrigerator door(s) or freezer drawer is open for 5 minutes and

Close all doors and drawer to turn it off.

Lighting the Refrigerator

The refrigerator has an interior light that comes on any time the

If the LED does not illuminate when the door is opened, call
Service to replace the light. See "Assistance or Service" in the
"Warranty" section for contact information.

Flush the Water System
Air in the water dispensing system can cause the water dispenser
to drip. After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or
replacing the water filter, flush the water system.
Flushing the water dispensing system forces air from the water
line and filter and prepares the water filter for use. Additional
flushing may be required in some households.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of
the dispenser.
1. Using a sturdy container, depress and hold the water
dispenser paddle for 5 seconds.
2. Release the dispenser paddle for 5 seconds. Repeat steps
1 and 2 until water begins to flow.
3. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing
the dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total
of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed.
