Refrigerator is installed in a cold When the refrigerator is operated in temperature
location, below 41 °F (5°C), food can freeze in the refrigerator
compartment. The refrigerator should not be operated

Incorrect temperature control settings.
When the doors are opened often or for long periods
of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This
raises the temperature and moisture level within the
compartment. Increased moisture will lead to frost
and condensation. To lessen the effect, reduce the
frequency and duration of door openings.
Refer to the Doors will not close correctly or pop

Connect the refrigerator to a cold water supply with
adequate pressure and turn the water shut off valve
fully open.
If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact
a plumber.
It is recommended that you replace the water filter:
* Approximately every six months.
* When the water filter indicator turns on.
° When the water dispenser output decreases.
* When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.
The water pressure must be between 20 and ] 20 psi
(140 and 830 kPa) on models without a water filter
and between 40 and ] 20 psi (280 and 830kPa) on
models with a water filter.
If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact
a plumber.
Reverse osmosis filtration systems can reduce the
water pressure below the minimum amount and result
in icemaker issues. (Refer to Water Pressure section.)
The tubing can kink when the refrigerator is moved
during installation or cleaning resulting in reduced
water tow. Straighten or repair the water supply line
and arrange it to prevent future kinks.
