Frequently Asked Questions - JFX2897DRP JENN-AIR

How to install the water filter?
Remove the new filter from its packaging and remove the O-ring protectors. Align the arrow on the label with the notch in the housing, insert the filter and turn it a quarter turn clockwise until it locks. Then close the compartment cover. Flush the water dispensing system by dispensing about 3 gallons (12 L) of water.
How to adjust refrigerator and freezer temperature?
Press TEMP for 3 seconds to activate Temperature mode. Use TEMP to toggle between refrigerator and freezer. Press LOCK to increase or OPTIONS to decrease the setting. Confirm with MEASURED FILL. Wait 24 hours between each adjustment.
What to do if the water dispenser does not work?
Check that the refrigerator is plugged in and the water supply valve is open. Make sure the water filter is correctly installed and not clogged. If water pressure is low (< 35 psi), check specifications. Flush the water system by dispensing water in 5-second cycles.
How to lock/unlock the dispenser?
Press LOCK for 3 seconds to lock or unlock the dispenser. The screen displays 'LOCKED' or 'UNLOCKED'. Locking disables the dispenser controls and levers without cutting power to the refrigerator.
How to clean the refrigerator?
Use a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid flammable cleaners. For stainless steel surfaces, use a specific cleaner like affresh. Clean the interior monthly with warm water and mild soap. Glass shelves should not be cleaned with warm water when cold.
How to remove and reinstall refrigerator doors?
Unplug the appliance. Remove the top hinge screws with a 3/16 inch hex wrench. For the left door, disconnect the water tube and wiring at the hinge. Lift the door off the bottom hinge. To reinstall, place the door on the bottom pin, insert the top hinge, secure with screws, then reconnect the tube and wiring.
How to use the Measured Fill function?
Press MEASURED FILL to activate. Use LOCK (increase) or OPTIONS (decrease) to adjust the volume. Place a glass under the dispenser and press the pad or MEASURED FILL to start dispensing. Water stops automatically at the selected amount.
Why is the ice hollow or irregularly shaped?
This is often due to low water pressure (< 35 psi). Check the pressure and ensure the water filter is not clogged. Insufficient pressure can also be caused by a reverse osmosis system. If the problem persists, consult the water supply specifications.
How to reset the water filter indicator?
After replacing the filter, reset is automatic when the compartment cover is closed. If the 'Replace' indicator remains on, check that the filter is correctly installed and locked. You can also access the filter status through the Options menu.
What to do in case of abnormal noise?
Some noises are normal: gurgling of refrigerant, clicking of ice maker, humming of fan. Check that the appliance is level and the stabilizing feet are in contact with the floor. If a persistent or unusual noise occurs, see the 'Noises' section in the troubleshooting manual.

Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator

WARNING

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous - even if they will sit for "just a few days." If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

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

JENN-AIR JFX2897DRP - WARNING - 1

Important information to know about disposal of refrigerants:

Dispos of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed, EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with established procedures.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack the Refrigerator

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Remove the Packaging

  • Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
  • Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For more information, see "Refrigerator Safety."
  • Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or "walk" the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.

Clean Before Using

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in "Refrigerator Care."

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

Remove and Replace Refrigerator Doors

NOTE: Measure the width of your door opening, to see whether or not you need to remove the refrigerator doors to move the refrigerator into your home. If door removal is necessary, see the following instructions.

IMPORTANT: If the refrigerator was previously installed and you are moving it out of the home, before you begin, turn the refrigerator control OFF. Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power.

WARNING

JENN-AIR JFX2897DRP - WARNING - 1

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor, household use only.

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a 12 (1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for a 1" (2.54 cm) space behind the refrigerator. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave a 314 (9.5 cm) minimum space between the refrigerator and wall to allow the door to swing open.

NOTE: This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the temperature ranges from a minimum of 55^ (13^) to a maximum of 110^ (43^) . The preferred room temperature range for optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and provides superior cooling, is between 60^ (15^) and 90^ (32^) . It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.

JENN-AIR JFX2897DRP - WARNING - 1

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.

A 115 volt, 60Hz , AC only 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator and approved accessories be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn OFF Cooling, and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you have finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn ON Cooling. See "Using the Control(s)."

Water Supply Requirements

A cold water supply with water pressure between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827kPa is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, the flow of water from the water dispenser could decrease or ice cubes could be hollow or irregular shaped.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827kPa

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 (276 to 414kPa

  • Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
  • Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy use. The tank capacity could be too small to keep up with the requirements of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Faucet-mounted reverse osmosis systems are not recommended.

If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See "Water Filtration System."

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Connect the Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.
The gray water tubing on the back of the refrigerator (which is used to connect to the household water line) is a PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) tube. Copper and PEX tubing connections from the household water line to the refrigerator are acceptable, and will help avoid off-taste or odor in your ice or water. Check for leaks.

If PEX tubing is used instead of copper, we recommend the following Part Numbers: W10505928RP (7 ft [2.14 m] jacketed PEX), 8212547RP (5 ft [1.52 m] PEX), or W10267701RP (25 ft [7.62 m] PEX).

Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.

Tools Needed:

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

Flat-blade screwdriver
7/16" and 1/2" open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches
14" nut driver

NOTE: Do not use a piercing-type or 3116 (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs easier.

Connect to Water Line

IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water is connected, turn OFF the ice maker.

  1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
  2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.
  3. Use a quarter-turn shutoff valve or the equivalent, served by a 1/2'' household supply line.

NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the refrigerator, a minimum 1/2'' (12.7 mm) size household supply line is recommended.

Refrigerator Leveling, Door Closing and Alignment

The base grille covers the adjustable brake feet and roller assemblies located at the bottom of the refrigerator below the freezer drawer. Before making any adjustments, remove the base grille and move the refrigerator to its final location.

Tools Needed: 1 / 4 hex nut driver

Tools Provided: 1 / 8 hex key

  1. Remove the base grille. Using both hands, grasp the grille firmly and pull it toward you. Open the freezer drawer to access the brake feet.

NOTE: To allow the refrigerator to roll easier, raise the brake feet by turning them counterclockwise. The front rollers will be touching the floor.

JENN-AIR JFX2897DRP - Refrigerator Leveling, Door Closing and Alignment - 1

  1. Move the refrigerator to its final location.

  2. Using the 14 " hex nut driver, lower the brake feet. Turn them clockwise, until the rollers are off the floor and both brake feet are snug against the floor. This keeps the refrigerator from rolling forward when opening the refrigerator doors or freezer drawer.

IMPORTANT: If you need to make further adjustments involving the brake feet, you must turn both brake feet the same amount to keep the refrigerator level.

  1. Make sure the doors close easily. If you are satisfied with the door opening and closing, skip the next section and go to "Align the Doors." If, however, the doors do not close easily on the doors pop open, adjust the tilt.

To Adjust the Cabinet Tilt:

  • Open the freezer drawer. Use a 14 " hex nut driver to turn both brake feet clockwise the same amount. This will raise the front of the refrigerator. It may take several turns to allow the doors to close easier.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the brake feet. This makes it easier to turn them.

IMPORTANT:

If the ice cubes are hollow or have an irregular shape, it could be because of low water pressure. See "Water Supply Requirements."
Ice travels from the ice storage bin through the dispenser chute to the dispenser. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice Maker and Storage Bin."

To Clean the Ice Dispenser Chute:

Humidity causes ice to naturally clump together. Ice particles can build up until the ice dispenser chute becomes blocked.

If ice is not dispensed regularly, it may be necessary to empty the ice storage bin and clean the ice delivery chute, the ice storage bin and the area beneath the storage bin every 2 weeks.

  • Remove the ice clogging the storage bin and delivery chute, using a plastic utensil if necessary.
    Clean the ice delivery chute and the bottom of the ice storage bin using a warm, damp cloth, then dry thoroughly.

To Dispense Ice:

  1. Select the desired type of ice. To switch between cubed ice and crushed ice, press ICE/WATER.

WARNING

Ice Maker and Ice Storage Bin

(on some models)

IMPORTANT: To avoid low ice production and poor quality ice, flush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See "Water Dispenser."

  • Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced. Allow 2 to 3 days for the storage bin to fill completely following installation.
    The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained.
    If the ice in the storage bin clumps together, break up ice using a plastic utensil and discard. Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice. This can cause damage to the ice bin and the dispenser mechanism.
  • Do not store anything in the ice storage bin.

Ice Production Rate

The ice maker should produce approximately 3 lbs (1.4kg) of ice per day under normal operation.
■ To increase ice production, select the increased ice production feature from the Settings or Options menu on the control panel. See "Using the Control(s)."

Ice Maker

The ice maker is located on the left-hand side of the refrigerator compartment ceiling. Ice cubes are ejected into the ice storage bin, located on the left-hand refrigerator door.
