Water and Ice

Water Clouding Phenomenon
Water coming into the refrigerator flows through
an alkaline water filter. In the filtering process the
water pressure increases, and the water becomes
saturated with oxygen and nitrogen as it flows
from the filter. When this water flows out into the
air the pressure plummets and the oxygen and
nitrogen get supersaturated which results in gas
bubbles. The water may temporarily look misty or
cloudy due to these oxygen bubbles. After a few
seconds the water will look clear.
Water Dispenser
The water dispenser is located in the left side of
the refrigerator.
1. Open the refrigerator doors, and press the
water dispenser button to get water.
2. Move your glass downward on the dispenser
pad and press inward.
3. Hold the glass underneath the dispenser for
2-3 seconds after releasing the dispenser
button because water may continue to
dispense after the button is released.
Remove and Replace Water Filter
Remove the Water Filter
1. Shut off the water supply.
2. Turn the water filter counterclockwise a quarter
turn.

3. Keeping the water filter in a horizontal position,
pull the filter from the filter compartment.
NOTE: When removing the filter, some water
may leak from the filter or compartment
opening.
4. Remove and empty the water filter tray in the
compartment, and then dry the compartment
and the tray before replacing it into the
compartment.

5. Turn on the water supply.
Replace the Water Filter
1. Remove the new filter from its packaging.
2. Insert the new filter into the filter compartment.
3. Push the filter inward, and then turn it
clockwise until it locks into place.
Flush the Water Filter
After installing the replacement water filter it is
important to flush air from the water line so that
water will not drip from the water dispenser.
1. Turn on the main water supply.
2. Dispense 2.5 gallons of water (flush for
approximately 5 minutes) to remove trapped
air and contaminants from the system.
NOTE: Do not dispense the entire 2.5 gallon
amount continuously. Depress and release the
dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds ON and
60 seconds OFF. In some homes, additional
flushing may be required.
3. Open the refrigerator door to make sure there
are no water leaks coming from the water filter.
Reverse Osmosis Systems
The pressure of the water supply coming out of a
reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet
valve of the refrigerator needs to be between
30 and 125 psi (207 and 862 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water system is connected to
your cold water supply, the water pressure to the
reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of
40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa). If the water pressure
to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to
60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):
•
Check to see whether the sediment filter in the
reverse osmosis system is blocked.
•
Replace the sediment filter, if necessary.
•
Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis
system to refill after heavy usage.
NOTE: A refrigerator water filter may further
reduce the water pressure when used in
conjunction with a reverse osmosis system.
Remove the refrigerator water filter.
