IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you of hazards that can kill or hurt you or others, or cause damage to the product.

Messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the hazard DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION. These words mean:

You will be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fi re, electric shock, or personal injury when using your product, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following.

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

• NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the outlet.
• Immediately repair or replace all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end.
• Do not modify or extend the power cord length. It could cause electric shock or fire.

• When moving your refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

• DO NOT store or use gasoline or other fl ammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• DO NOT allow children to climb, stand, or hang on the refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.
• Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances between the doors and cabinets are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.
• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs.

NOTE: It is strongly recommended that any service be performed by a qualified technician.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

- Before replacing a burned-out or broken light bulb, unplug the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box in order to avoid contact with a live wire fi lament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced exposing the wire fi lament.)

NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and service should be performed by a qualified technician.

⚠ WARNING: Setting either or both controls to the OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit.

• When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the controls (Thermostat, Refrigerator Control, and or Freezer Control, depending on the model) to the desired setting.
• This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Attention Installer Instructions that were taped to the front of the refrigerator.

• After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold surfaces.

• DO NOT touch the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

• DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold—below 4^ C.

...Thawed ground meats, poultry or fi sh that have any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, dispose of it. The food may be dangerous to eat.

Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of their quality as you can.

⚠ WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

⚠️ DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

Junked or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous, even if they are sitting for only a few days. If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions at right to help prevent accidents (child entrapment and suffocation).

• Take off the doors.
- Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

CFC/HCFC DISPOSAL

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofl uorocarbons or hydrochlorofl uorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone if released to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants may also cause harm to the environment if released to the atmosphere.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified technician. If you intentionally release refrigerant, you may be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

ELECTRICAL & GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully. TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, the use of an extension cord is not recommended. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (USA), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet, and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance needed for the back of the refrigerator.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 amperes. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Use a receptacle that cannot be turned off with a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.

Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet.

Leveling

After installing, plug the refrigerator's power cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet and push the refrigerator into the final position.

Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs—one on the right and one on the left. Adjust the legs to alter the tilt from front-to-back or side-to-side. If your refrigerator seems unsteady, or you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below:

NOTE: Tools required: ^11/_16 " (18mm) wrench or flat blade screwdriver.

1. Turn the leveling leg counterclockwise to raise that side of the refrigerator or clockwise to lower it. It may take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

Diagram showing a cabinet with four doors and a magnified view of a wrench tool inserted into a housing (no text or symbols present)

NOTE: Having someone push backward against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off of the leveling legs. This makes it easier to adjust the legs.

1. Open both doors again and check to make sure that they close easily. If the doors do not close easily, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling legs counterclockwise. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling legs the same amount.

NOTE: Your refrigerator is uniquely designed with two fresh food doors. Either door can be opened or closed independently of the other. You may have to exert slight pressure on the doors to get them to close completely.

Door Alignment

Both the left and right refrigerator doors have an adjustable nut, located on the bottom hinge, to raise and lower them to align properly.

If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the instructions below to align the doors evenly:

Use the wrench (included with the Use & Care Guide) to turn the nut in the door hinge to adjust the height. Turn the nut clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower the door.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

SETTING THE CONTROLS

The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections). The colder the setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder. The freezer control adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator. Setting the freezer control to a lower temperature keeps more cold air in the freezer compartment to make it colder.

AIRFLOW

Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh food section and back again through air vents in the wall dividing the two sections. Be sure not to block vents while packing your refrigerator. Doing so will restrict airflow and may cause the refrigerator temperature to become too warm or cause interior moisture buildup. (See airflow diagram below.)

Keep hands and tools out of the ice compartment door and dispenser chute. Failure to do so may result in damage or personal injury.

The icemaker will stop producing ice when the in-door ice bin is full. If you need more ice, empty the ice bin into the extra ice bin in the freezer compartment. During use, the ice can become uneven causing the icemaker to misread the amount of ice cubes and stop producing ice. Shaking the ice bin to level the ice within it can reduce this problem.

NOTE: Storing cans or other items in the ice bin will damage the icemaker.

Keep the ice compartment door closed tightly. If the ice compartment door is not closed tightly, the cold air in the ice bin will freeze food in the refrigerator compartment. This could also cause the icemaker to stop producing ice.

NOTE: If the ON/OFF switch on the icemaker is set to OFF for an extended period of time, the ice compartment will gradually warm up to the temperature of the refrigerator compartment. To prevent ice cubes from melting and leaking from the dispenser, ALWAYS empty the ice bin when the icemaker is set to OFF for more than a few hours.

1. Pull or push the door handle to open or close the ice compartment.

1. Avoid touching the ice-detecting sensor when replacing the ice bin. See the label on the ice compartment door for details.

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER

Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to the dispenser. The icemaker will produce 10 cubes per cycle—approximately 100 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other operating conditions.

• It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed refrigerator to begin making ice. Wait 72 hours for full ice production to occur.
• Ice making stops when the in-door ice bin is full. When full, the in-door ice bin holds approximately 6 to 8 (12-16 oz) glasses of ice.
• To turn off the automatic icemaker, set the icemaker switch to OFF (O). To turn on the automatic icemaker, set the switch to ON (I).
• The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi on models without a water fi liter and between 40 and 120 psi on models with a water fi liter to produce the normal amount and size of ice cubes.
• Foreign substances or frost on the ice-detecting sensor can interrupt ice production. Make sure the sensor area is clean at all times for proper operation.

! WARNING

Personal Injury Hazard

DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER (continued)

CAUTION

• The first ice and water dispensed may include particles or odor from the water supply line or the water tank.
• Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 24 cubes). This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a long time.
• Never store beverage cans or other items in the ice bin for the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so may damage the icemaker or the containers may burst.
• If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water fi liter and water supply. If the problem continues, contact a Sears or other qualified service center. Do not use the ice or water until the problem is corrected.
• Keep children away from the dispenser. Children may play with or damage the controls.
• The ice passage may become blocked with frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove the frost that accumulates by removing the ice bin and clearing the passage with a rubber spatula. Dispensing cubed ice can also help prevent frost buildup.
• Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice. Such containers may chip or break resulting in glass fragments in the ice.
• Dispense ice into a glass before filling it with water or other beverages. Splashing may occur if ice is dispensed into a glass that already contains liquid.
• Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow or deep. Ice may jam in the ice passage and refrigerator performance may be affected.
• Keep the glass at a proper distance from the ice outlet. A glass held too close to the outlet may prevent ice from dispensing.
• To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of the ice door and passage.
• Never remove the dispenser cover.
• If ice or water dispenses unexpectedly, turn off the water supply and contact Sears Home Service at 1-800-4-MY HOME®.

WHEN YOU SHOULD SET THE ICEMAKER POWER SWITCH TO OFF (O)

• When the water supply will be shut off for several hours.
• When the ice bin is removed for more than one or two minutes.
• When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.

NOTE: The ice bin should be emptied when the icemaker ON/OFF switch is turned to the OFF position.

NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

- The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker fills with water. If the power switch is in the ON (I) position, it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to water. To stop the buzzing, move the power switch to OFF (O).

NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the ON (I) position before the water line is connected can damage the icemaker.

- You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refi lls.

PREPARING FOR VACATION

Set the icemaker power switch to OFF (O) and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.

NOTE: The ice bin should be emptied any time the icemaker ON/OFF switch is turned to the OFF (O) position.

If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualified technician drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to fl ooding caused by ruptured water lines or connections.

FOOD STORAGE GUIDE

Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check date code to ensure freshness.

Items	How to
Butter or margarine	▶Keep opened butter in a covered dish or closed compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze.
Cheese	▶Store in the original wrapping until you are ready to use it. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Milk	▶Wipe milk cartons. For best storage, place milk on interior shelf, not on door shelf.
Eggs	▶Store in original carton on interior shelf, not on door shelf.
Fruit	▶Wash, let dry, and store in refrigerator in plastic bags or in the crisper. Do not wash or hull fruit until you are ready to use them. Sort and keep fruit in its original container, in a crisper, or store in a completely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.
Leafy vegetables	▶Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas. Wash in cold water and drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper.
Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)	▶Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store in crisper.
Fish	▶Use fresh fish and shellfish the same day purchased.
Leftovers	▶Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or store in plastic containers with tight lids.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

NOTE: Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook for further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times.

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs. of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (how airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.

NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on correct packaging. When you close and seal the package, it must not allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and could also dry out frozen food.

Packaging recommendations:

• Rigid plastic containers with tight-fi tting lids
• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
• Heavy-duty aluminum foil
- Plastic-coated paper
• Non-permeable plastic wraps
- Specifi ed freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Do not use

• Bread wrappers
  • Non-polyethylene plastic containers
• Containers without tight lids
• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
• Thin, semi-permeable wrap

⚠️ CAUTION: Do not keep beverage cans or plastic food containers in the freezer compartment. They may break or burst if they freeze.

REFRIGERATOR SECTION

WATER DISPENSER

To dispense cold water, push on the dispenser switch with a glass.

Some dripping may occur after dispensing. Hold your cup beneath the dispenser for a few seconds after dispensing to catch all of the drops.

6. Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord to the refrigerator cabinet.

When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to the Refrigerator Installation section for preparation instructions.

CONNECTING THE WATER LINE

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

This water line installation is not covered by the refrigerator warranty. Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and can lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.

To prevent burns and product damage, only connect the refrigerator water line to a cold water supply.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in the OFF (O) position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

WATER PRESSURE

The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi on models without a water fi liter and between 40 and 120 psi on models with a water fi liter.

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, this water line installation is not covered by the refrigerator warranty. Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (2.8 kgf/cm ^2 \~ 4.2 kgf/cm ^2 , less than 2.0\~3.0 sec. to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity).

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is less than 21 psi or 1.5 kgf/cm ^2 (takes more than 4.0 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity):

• Check to see if the sediment fi liter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the fi liter if necessary.
• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refi ll after heavy usage.
• If the issue concerning water pressure from reverse osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
• All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

CAUTION: Wear eye protection during installation to prevent injury.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• Copper Tubing, 14 in. outer diameter, to connect the refrigerator to the water supply. Be sure both ends of the tubing are cut square.
• To determine how much tubing you need: measure the distance from the water valve on the back of the refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then, add 8 feet (2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10 in. [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.
• Power drill.
• 12 in. or adjustable wrench.
• Flat blade and Phillips head screwdrivers.
• Two 14 in. outer diameter compression nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves) to connect the copper tubing to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.
• If your existing copper water line has a flared fitting at the end, you will need an adapter (available at plumbing supply stores) to connect the water line to the refrigerator OR you can cut off the flared fitting with a tube cutter and then use a compression fitting.
• Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line. The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a minimum inside diameter of 532 in. at the point of connection to the COLD WATER LINE.

Saddle-type shutoff valves are included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

NOTE: A Self Piercing Saddle Type Water Valve should not be used.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is battery powered, double insulated or grounded in a manner that will prevent the hazard of electric shock.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.

1. SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on the line.

2. CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

Choose a location for the valve that is easily accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection to the top or side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.

3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Drill a 14 in. hole in the water pipe using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from

drilling the hole in the pipe. Be careful not to allow water to drain into the drill. Failure to drill a 14 in. hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.

NOTE: The hookup line cannot be white, plastic tubing. Licensed plumbers must use only copper tubing (NDA tubing #49595 or #49599) or Cross Link Polyethylene (PEX) tubing.

4. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp.

NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal and their use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed plumber.

5. TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP

Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell.

NOTE: Do not overtighten the clamp or you may crush the tubing.

6. ROUTE THE TUBING

Route the tubing between the cold water line and the refrigerator.

Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall or floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.

NOTE: Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet coiled into 3 turns of about 10 in. diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

7. CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE VALVE

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for the copper tubing onto the end of the tubing and connect it to the shutoff valve. Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve. Tighten the compression nut securely.

NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal and their use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed plumber.

8. FLUSH OUT THE TUBING

Turn the main water supply on and flush out the tubing until the water is clear.

Shut the water off at the water valve after about one quart of water has been fl ushed through the tubing.

9. CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR

NOTE: Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure that the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.

1. Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water valve.
2. Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing as shown.
3. Insert the end of the copper tubing into the connection as far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.

10. TURN THE WATER ON AT THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Tighten any connections that leak.

12. START THE ICEMAKER

Set the icemaker power switch to the ON position.

The icemaker will not begin to operate until it reaches its operating temperature of 15^ F ( -9^ C) or below. It will then begin operation automatically if the icemaker power switch is in the ON (I) position.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one did not make. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds you may hear and what may be causing them.

Clicking:

The defrost control will click when the automatic defrost cycle begins and ends. The thermostat control (or refrigerator control, depending on the model) will also click when cycling on and off.

Rattling:

Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.

Whooshing:

• Evaporator fan motor circulating the air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
  • Air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
• Ice compartment fan in the freezer on the left side of the refrigerator when the doors are open.

Gurgling:

As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound caused by the refrigerant flowing through the cooling system.

Popping:

Contraction and expansion of the inside walls.

Sizzling:

Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle.

Vibrating Noise:

If the side or back of the refrigerator is touching a cabinet or wall, some of the normal vibrations may make an audible sound. To eliminate the noise, make sure that the sides and back cannot vibrate against any wall or cabinet.

Dripping:

Water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

Pulsating or High-Pitched Sound:

Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperature. The high efficiency compressor may cause your new refrigerator to run longer than your old one, but is still more energy efficient than previous models. While the refrigerator is running, it is normal to hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound.

Problem Possible Causes Solutions
Refrigerator is not cooling.	The power supply cord is unplugged. Firmly plug the cord into a live outlet with proper voltage (see Electrical & Grounding Requirements).
	A household fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped.
	The refrigerator control is set to the OFF position.
	The refrigerator is in the defrost cycle. Wait about 30 minutes for defrost cycle to end.
	The refrigerator is in Demo Mode.
Lights do not work. The power supply cord is unplugged.Interior lights have malfunctioned.		Firmly plug the cord into a live outlet with proper voltage (refer to Electrical & Grounding Requirements).The interior lights are LED lighting, and repair service must be performed by a qualified technician.
Vibration or rattling noise.	The refrigerator is not resting solidly on the floor.	Floor is weak or uneven or leveling legs need adjusting. See the Installation section for leveling instructions.
Compressor seems to run too much.	The refrigerator that was replaced was an older model.	Modern refrigerators require more operating time but use less energy due to more efficient technology.
	The room temperature is warmer than normal.	The compressor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures (70°F) expect your compressor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more often. The refrigerator should not be operated above 110°F.
	The door is opened often or a large amount of food has just been added.	Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as the food is removed. Refer to the Food Storage Guide.
	The refrigerator was recently plugged in and the refrigerator control was set correctly.	The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool completely.
	The refrigerator control is not set correctly for the surrounding conditions.	See the Adjusting Control Settings section.
	The doors are not closed completely. Firmly push	h the doors shut. If they will not shut all the way, see “Doors will not close completely” in the Troubleshooting section.
	The back cover is dirty. This prevents air transfer	and makes the motor work harder. Clean the back cover. Refer to the Care and Cleaning section.
The refrigerator seems to make too much noise.	The sounds may be normal for your refrigerator.	Refer to the Understanding Sounds You May Hear section for more information.
Doors will not close completely.	The refrigerator is not level.	See the Leveling and Door Alignment section.
	Food packages are blocking the door open. Range food containers to clear door and door shelves.
	The ice bin, crisper cover, pans, shelves, door bins or baskets are out of position.	Push bins all the way in and put crisper cover, pans, shelves and baskets into their correct positions. See the Using Your Refrigerator section for more information.
	The gaskets are sticking. Clean gaskets and the surfaces that they touch. Rub a thin coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax on the gaskets after cleaning.
	The refrigerator wobbles or seems unstable. Level the refrigerator. Refer to the Leveling and Door Alignment section for more information.
	The doors were removed during product installation and not properly replaced.	Remove and replace the doors according to the Removing and Replacing Refrigerator Handles and Doors section, or call a qualified technician.
	Articulating Mullion is out of position. Rotate the articulating mullion to the closed position and reattempt to shut the door. Refer to Refrigerator Features for more information on the articulating mullion.
Frost or ice crystals on frozen food.	The door is not closing properly. See “Doors will not close completely” in the Troubleshooting section.
	The door is opened often. When the door is opened, warm, humid air is allowed in the freezer, resulting in frost.
Ice has bad taste or odor.	The icemaker was recently installed.	Discard the first few batches of ice to avoid discolored or bad tasting ice.
	The ice has been stored for too long. Throw away old ice and make a 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 water fi liter may need to be installed to eliminate taste and odor problems.
	The interior of the refrigerator needs cleaning.	See the Care and Cleaning section for more information.
	The ice storage bin needs cleaning.	Empty and wash bin. Discard old cubes.
There is water in the defrost drain pan.	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 icemaker is not producing ice or not enough ice.	New installation. Wait 12 to 24 hours after icemaker installation for ice production to begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice production.
	The refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the supply shutoff valve is not turned on.	Connect the refrigerator to the water supply and turn the water shutoff valve fully open.
	Reverse osmosis water fl ltration system is connected to your cold water supply.	Reverse osmosis fl ltration systems can reduce the water pressure below the minimum amount and result in icemaker issues. Refer to the Water Pressure section.
	Kink in the water source line.	A kink in the line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water source line.
	Ice demand has exceeded storage capacity. The icemaker will produce approximately 100 cubes in a 24 hour period.NOTE: An extra ice bucket is provided in the freezer section for additional storage capacity.
	The icemaker is not turned on. Locate the icemaker ON/OFF switch and confirm it is in the ON (I) position.
	There is something on the ice-detecting sensor.	Foreign substances or frost on the ice-detecting sensor can interrupt ice production. Make sure the sensor area is clean at all times for proper operation.
	The temperature setting for the freezer is too warm.	The recommended temperature for the freezer compartment for normal ice production is 0°F. If the freezer temperature is warmer, ice production will be aff ected.
	The doors are opened often. If the doors of the unit are opened often, ambient air will warm the refrigerator which will prevent the unit from maintaining the set temperature. Lowering the refrigerator temperature can help, as well as not opening the doors as frequently.
	The doors are not closing properly. If the doors are not properly closed, ice production will be aff ected. See “Doors will not close completely” in the Troubleshooting section for more information.
	The ice compartment door is not closing properly.	If the ice compartment door is not properly closed, ice production will be aff ected. Make sure that the ice compartment door is closed for proper operation. Refer to the Refrigerator Features section.
	Ultra Ice is not selected. Ultra Ice increases ice production by lowering the freezer compartment temperature. Refer to Setting the Controls for more information.
Not dispensing ice. Not all of the doors are closed completely. Ice will not dispense if any of the refrigerator doors are left open.
The dispenser display is locked. Press and hold	the Lock button for 3 seconds to unlock the control panel and dispenser.
Ice is not selected on the dispenser. The dispenser can be set for ice or water.Make certain that the control panel is set for the proper operation. Press the Ice Select button on the control panel to cycle through the ice options.
The ice dispenser is not used often. Infrequent use of the ice dispenser will cause the cubes to stick together over time, which will prevent them from properly dispensing.Check the ice bin for ice cubes clumping/sticking together. If they are, break up the ice cubes to allow for proper operation.
Ice bin is not installed correctly. Be sure to correctly install the ice bin into position. Refer to Using your Refrigerator for removal and installation instructions.
New installation. Wait 12 to 24 hours after icemaker installation for ice production to begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice production.
The delivery chute is clogged with frost or ice fragments.	Eliminate the frost or ice fragments by removing the ice bin and clearing the chute with a plastic utensil. Dispensing cubed ice can also help prevent frost or ice fragment buildup.
Dispensing warm water.	New installation. Allow 24 hours after installation for the water storage tank to cool completely.
	The water dispenser has been used recently and the storage tank was exhausted.
	The refrigerator is connected to a hot water line.
Refrigerator or Freezer section is too cold.	Controls are not set correctly for conditions.
