Flush the water system. See the “Water and Ice Dispensers”

section for water system ushing instructions.

Recently installed or replaced

plumbing connections. New

plumbing connections can cause

discolored or off-avored ice and

water.

Discard ice and wash the ice storage bin. Flush the water

system with 3 gal. (11.4 L) of water. Allow 24 hours for the ice

maker to make new ice and discard the rst three batches of ice

maker to make new ice.

The water has been stored too long. Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water per week to maintain a fresh

supply.

Odor from stored food has

transferred to the ice.

Use airtight, moisture-proof packaging to store food.

There are minerals (such as sulfur)

in the water.

A water lter may need to be installed to remove the minerals.

There is a water lter installed on the

refrigerator.

Gray or dark discoloration in ice may indicate that the water

ltration system needs additional ushing. Flush the water

system after installing and before using a new water lter. See

the “Water and Ice Dispensers” section for water lter ushing

instructions.

The water lter needs to be replaced. Replace the disposable water lter at least every 6 months or

when indicated. See the “Water Filtration System” section.

dispenser will not

operate properly.

The refrigerator is not connected to

a water supply or the water supply

shut-off valve is not turned on.

Connect the refrigerator to the water supply, and turn the water

shut-off valve to fully open.

There is a kink in the water source

line.

A kink in the water line can reduce water ow from the water

dispenser and result in hollow or irregular-shaped ice. Straighten

the water source line.

The refrigerator has just been

installed.

Flush and ll the water system. See the “Water and Ice

Dispensers” section.

The water pressure to the house is

not at or above 35 psi (241 kPa).

The water pressure to the house determines the ow from the

dispenser. See the “Water Supply Requirements” section.

A reverse osmosis water ltration

system is connected to the cold

water supply.

A reverse osmosis water ltration system can decrease water

pressure. See the “Water Supply Requirements” section.

The water lter may be clogged. Remove the water lter and operate dispenser. If water ow

increases, your lter is clogged and needs to be replaced.

See the “Water Filtration System” section.

The water lter is installed incorrectly. Remove the water lter and reinstall. See the “Water Filtration

System” section.
