much ice.
Possible Causes Solutions
A water filter may need to be installed to eliminate
taste and odor problems.
NOTE: In some cases, a filter may not help. It may
not be possible to remove all minerals / odor / taste
in all water supplies.
Discard the first few batches of ice to avoid
discolored or bad tasting ice.
Ice that has been stored for too long will shrink,
become cloudy, and may develop a stale taste.
Throw away old ice and make a new supply.
Rewrap the food. Odors may migrate to the ice if
food is not wrapped properly.
See the Care and Cleaning section for more
information.
Empty and wash the bin (discard old cubes). Make
sure that the bin is completely dry before reinstalling
it.
Allow 24 hours after installation for the water
storage tank to cool completely.
Depending on your specific model, the water
storage capacity will range from approximately 20 to
30 oz (570 to 850cc).
If the dispenser has not been used for several hours,
the first glass dispensed may be warm. Discard the
first 10 oz (280cc).
Make sure that the refrigerator is connected to a
cold water pipe.
WARNING: Connecting the refrigerator to a hot
water line may damage the icemaker.
A water filter may need to be installed to eliminate
taste and odor problems.
It is recommended that you replace the water filter:
• Approximately every 6 months.
• When the water filter indicator turns on.
• When the water dispenser output decreases.
• When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.
Dispense 2.5 gallons (9 litters) of water (flush for
approximately 5 minutes) to remove trapped air and
contaminates from the system. Do not dispense the
entire 2.5 gallons (9 litters) amount continuously.
Depress and release the dispenser pad for cycles of
30 seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF.
Empty the ice bin. 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. Reinstall
the ice bin and wait 24 hours to confirm proper
operation.
