TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

ICE HAS OFF-TASTE OR ODOR

Check if...

Then...

The icemaker was recently installed.

Discard first few batches of ice to avoid discolored or

off-flavored ice.

The ice has been stored for too long.

Throw away old ice and make new supply.

The food has not been wrapped tightly in
either compartment.

Rewrap foods since odors may migrate to the ice if food
is not wrapped properly.

The water supply contains minerals such as sulfur.

A filter may need to be installed to eliminate taste and
odor problems.

The interior of refrigerator needs cleaning.

See Care and Cleaning section on pages 24-25.

Ice storage bin needs cleaning.

Empty and wash bin. Discard old cubes.

THERE IS WATER IN THE DEFROST DRAIN PAN

Check if...

Then...

The refrigerator is defrosting.

The water will evaporate. It is normal for water to drip into the
defrost pan.

It is more humid than normal.

Expect that the water in the defrost pan will take longer to
evaporate. This is normal when it is hot or humid.

THE REFRIGERATOR SEEMS TO MAKE TOO MUCH NOISE

Check if...

Then...

The sounds may be normal for your refrigerator.

Refer to the Understanding Sounds You May Hear section

on page 31.

THE ICEMAKER IS NOT PRODUCING ICE OR ICE CUBES ARE FREEZING TOO SLOWLY

Check if...

Then...

The freezer temperature is cold enough to produce ice. Wait 24 hours after hook-up for ice production. See the

Setting the Controls section on page 14.

Door left open.

Check to see if something is holding the door open.

CUBES PRODUCED BY ICEMAKER ARE TOO SMALL

Check if...

Then...

Smaller cube size level is selected.

Select larger cube size using cube size selector.

Water shutoff valve connecting refrigerator to water
line may be clogged.

Call a plumber to clear the valve.

THE DOORS ARE DIFFICULT TO OPEN

Check if...

Then.

The gaskets are dirty or sticky.

Clean gaskets and the surfaces that they touch. Rub a thin

coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax on the gaskets after
cleaning.

The door is reopened within a short time after having
been opened.

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.
