TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Then...
❿ Discard first few batches of ice to avoid
discolored or off-flavored ice.
❿ Throw away old ice and make new
supply.
❿ Rewrap foods since odors may migrate
to the ice if food is not wrapped
properly.
❿ A filter may need to be installed (or
replaced) to eliminate taste and odor
problems.
❿ See Care and Cleaning section on
pages 27–28.
❿ Empty and wash bin. Discard old cubes.
❿ The water will evaporate. It is normal
for water to drip into the defrost pan.
❿ Expect that the water in the defrost
pan will take longer to evaporate. This
is normal when it is hot or humid.
❿ Refer to the Understanding Sounds
You May Hear section on page 33.
❿ Wait 24 hours after hook-up for ice
production. See the Setting the
Controls section on page 19.
❿ Check to see if something is holding
the door open.
❿ Select larger cube size using cube size
selector.
❿ Call a plumber to clear the valve.
❿ Clean gaskets and the surfaces that
they touch. Rub a thin coat of
appliance polish or kitchen wax on the
gaskets after cleaning.
❿ 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.
