• Household water line valve is not open.
• Fresh Food door is not closed.
• Ice dispensing paddle has been held in for
more than four to (4-5) minutes.

and/or power outages.

• Ice cubes are smaller than normal.

damaged.
• No electric current is reaching refrigerator.
• Control system has disabled lights because
one or both doors were left open too long.
Potential Cause
• Interior needs to be cleaned.
• Food with strong odors is stored in
refrigerator.
Potential Cause
• Refrigerator is not level. It rocks on the floor
when moved slightly.
• Food is touching shelf on top of drawer.
• Drawer is overloaded
Common Solution
• Connect water supply (see Connecting The Water
Supply section).
• Ensure ice maker is turned on. When the first supply
of ice is dropped into the bin, the dispenser should
operate.
• Open household water line valve. Allow sufficient time
for the ice to be made. When ice is made, the dispenser
should operate.
• Ensure Fresh Food door is closed. (See Problem
Section, Opening/Closing of Doors/Drawers)
• Motor is overloaded. Motor overload protector will reset
in approximately three (3) minutes. Ice can then be
dispensed.
• Remove ice bin, thaw, and empty the contents. Clean
bin, wipe dry, and replace in proper position. When new
ice is made, dispenser should operate.
• Use the dispenser often so that cubes do not freeze
together.
• The ice & water filter cartridge could be clogged.
Replace the filter cartridge. Dispensing system operates
best at 30-100 psi water pressure. Well water pressures
should fall within this range.

• See Replacing Light Bulbs or LED lights in Care and
Cleaning section.
• See Problem section, Running Your Refrigerator.
• Close and reopen door(s) to enable lights.
Common Solution
• See Care & Cleaning Tips.
• Cover food tightly. Turn on air filtration system. Air filter
may need to be changed more frequently if foods with
strong odors are routinely stored in refrigerator.
Common Solution
• Ensure floor is level and solid, and can adequately
support the refrigerator. Contact a carpenter to correct a
sagging or sloping floor.
• Keep less food in drawer.
• Remove or redistribute food.
