Solutions
• Call a plumber to clear the valve.
• Discard first few batches of ice to avoid discolored
or off-flavored ice.
• Throw away old ice and make new supply.
• Rewrap foods since odors may migrate to the ice if
food is not wrapped properly.
• A new filter may need to be installed to eliminate
taste and odor problems.
• See "Care and Cleaning" section.
• Empty and wash bin. Discard old cubes.
• The water will evaporate. It is normal for water to
drip into the defrost pan.
• Expect that the water in the defrost pan will take
longer to evaporate. This is normal when it is hot
or humid.
• Refer to the "Understanding sounds you may
hear" section.
• See "Doors will not close completely" above.
• When the door is opened, warm, humid air is
allowed in the freezer resulting in frost.
• Wait 24 hours after hook-up for ice production.
See the "Control Panel Features" section.
• Check to see if something is holding the door
open.
• Move the switch to the ON (I) position.
• See the "Connecting the Water Line" section.
• Wait 24 hours for the freezer to reach its ideal
temperature.
• Level cubes by hand or shake the bin occasionally.
• Ice will not dispense if any of the refrigerator doors
are left open.
• Press and hold the Lock button for 3 seconds to
unlock the control panel and dispenser.
• The dispenser can be set for ice or water. Make
certain that the control panel is set for the proper
operation. Press the dispenser button on the
control panel to cycle through the ice and water
options.
• Check the ice bin for ice cubes clumping/ sticking
together. If they are, break up the ice cubes allow
for proper operation.
• Be sure to install the ice bin firmly into position.
• Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation for ice
production to begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice
production.
