If your icemaker is equipped with an ice shutoff arm,
make sure that the arm moves freely. If your icemaker
is equipped with the electronic ice shutoff sensor,
make sure that there is a clear path between the two
sensors.
Reverse osmosis fi ltration systems can reduce the
water pressure below the minimum amount and result
in icemaker issues. (Refer to the Water Pressure
section.)
Dispense 2.5 gallons of water (fl ush for approximately
5 minutes) to remove trapped air and contaminants
from the system. Do not dispense the entire 2.5

trapped air and contaminants from the system. 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.
The tubing can kink when the refrigerator is moved
during installation or cleaning resulting in reduced
water fl ow. Straighten or repair the water supply line
