CONNECTING TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE

WARNING

Connect to potable water supply only. A cold water supply is required for automatic ice maker operation. The water pressure must be between 21 and 121 psi (147-834 kilo-Pascals).

! WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

Attach tubing clamp using existing hole only. DO NOT drill into the refrigerator.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• A copper or approved flexible universal refrigerator tubing kit or ice-maker install kit with 1/4" outer diameter to connect the refrigerator to the water supply. If using copper, be sure both ends of the tubing are cut square.
• A cold water supply. The water pressure must be between 21 and 121 psi (147-834 kPa).
• Power drill.
• 1/2" or adjustable wrench.
• Straight and Phillips blade screwdriver.

- Two 1/4" outer diameter compression nuts and two ferrules (sleeves) to connect the copper tubing to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve, OR you can find kits that come with all parts included such as Stop Tee and compressing fittings.

- 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 inner diameter of 5/32" 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:

• Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.
• Before connecting the water line to the house, purge the house line for at least 2 minutes.
• Only use approved plastic universal tubing if not using copper tubing. Cross linked High Density Polyethylene (PEX) hose is extremely durable and is becoming increasingly preferred.
• Install a shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinker water line.

1. SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

Then turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water.

2. CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

Choose an easily accessible location on the cold water pipe for the shutoff valve. 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 1/4" hole in the water pipe (even if using a self-piercing valve) using a sharp bit. Be cautious not to allow water to drain into the drill. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe. Failure to drill a 1/4" hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.

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 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 over tighten 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 the base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.

7. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for 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. For plastic tubing with the water line union connector (included), insert the molded end of the tubing into the shutoff valve and tighten the compression nut until it is hand tight, then tighten one additional turn with a wrench.

NOTE:

• Over tightening may cause leaks.

Water Line Union Connector (Included)

- Connector grips before it seals. Ensure tube is pushed into the tube stop.

- Pull on the tube to check it is secure. Turn on water and check for leaks. (If you have leaks, just cut a small portion of hose further down to give a smooth edge.)

- To disconnect, ensure the system is depressurized before removing the tube. Push in the connector end piece squarely against face of fitting. With it held in this position, the tube can be removed.

8. FLUSH THE TUBING

Turn on the main water supply and flush out the tubing until the water is clear. Shut off the water at the water valve after about 1 quart (1 Liter), or 2 minutes, of water has been flushed through the tubing.

COMPLETING INSTALLATION

TURN ON THE POWER

Plug the refrigerator's power cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet, and carefully push the refrigerator into the final position.

Adjustable legs at the front corners of the refrigerator should be set so the refrigerator is firmly positioned on the floor, and the front is raised just enough that the door closes easily when opened about halfway.

- To adjust the leveling legs, turn the legs clockwise to raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it.

LEVEL THE REFRIGERATOR DOORS

A level refrigerator is necessary for getting the doors perfectly even. If you need help, review the previous section on leveling the refrigerator.

When the left door is lower than the right door.
When the left door is higher than the right door.

Using Snap Rings (Included):

• With the door open, gently lift the door up.
• By hand or using pliers, insert the snap ring(s) onto the center hinge ping.
• Slowly lower the door.

OPERATION

BEFORE USE

- Reserve doors and drawer(s) clearances.

Make sure to leave enough space to allow for the doors and drawers to be opened without obstruction for your safety and convenience.

- Clean the refrigerator.

Clean the refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off all dust that accumulated during shipping.

CAUTION

• Do not scratch the refrigerator with a sharp object or use a detergent that contains alcohol, a flammable liquid or an abrasive when removing any tape or adhesive from the refrigerator.
  Remove adhesive residue by wiping it off with your thumb or dish detergent.
• Do not peel off the model or serial number label or the technical information on the rear surface of the refrigerator.

- Open refrigerator doors and freezer drawers to ventilate the interior.

The inside of the refrigerator may smell like plastic at first. Remove any adhesive tape from inside the refrigerator and open the refrigerator doors and the freezer drawers for ventilation.

- Connect the power supply.

Check if the power supply is connected before use.

- Turn off the icemaker.

Turn off the icemaker if the refrigerator is not yet connected to the water supply.

- Wait for the refrigerator to cool.

Allow the refrigerator to run for at least two to three hours before putting food in it. Check the flow of cold air in the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling.

Storage of too much food after initial connection to power may adversely affect the freezing effect of the refrigerator.

CAUTION

- Putting food in the refrigerator before it has cooled could cause the food to spoil, or a bad odor to remain inside the refrigerator.

- The refrigerator makes a loud noise after initial operation.

This is normal. The volume will decrease as the temperature decreases.

Energy Saving Tips

• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the fridge.
• Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper towels. Liners interfere with cold air circulation making the appliance less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door opening and extended searches. Remove as many items needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.

PLACEMENT / RELOCATION

TROUBLESHOOTING

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE

Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to call for service.

Problem Possible	Cause & Solution
Refrigerator is not cooling or has no power.	A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped. Or the appliance is connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet, and the outlet's circuit breaker has tripped.Check the main electrical box and replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.Reset the circuit breaker on the GFCI. If the problem persists, contact an electrician.
	Refrigerator is in the defrost cycle.During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may rise slightly. Wait 30 minutes and confirm the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has completed.
	Refrigerator was recently installed.It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature.
	Refrigerator was recently relocated.If the refrigerator was stored for a long period of time or moved on its side, it is necessary for the refrigerator to stand upright for 24 hours before connecting it to power.
Cooling system runs too much.	Refrigerator is replacing an older model.·Modern refrigerators require more operating time but use less energy due to more efficient technology.
	Refrigerator was recently plugged in or power restored.·The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool completely.
	The door is opened often or a large amount of food / hot food was 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.
	Doors are not closed completely.·Firmly push the doors shut.
	Refrigerator is installed in a hot location.·The compressor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures (70°F or 21 °C) 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 (43 °C).
Interior moisture buildup.	Doors are opened often or for long periods of time.When the doors are opened often or for long periods of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This raises the temperature and moisture level within the compartment. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.
	Doors are not always closed completely.Firmly push the doors shut.
	Weather is humid.Humid weather allows additional moisture to enter the compartments when the doors are opened leading to condensation or frost. Maintaining a reasonable level of humidity in the home will help to control the amount of moisture that can enter the compartments.
	Defrost cycle recently completed.During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may rise slightly and condensation may form on the back wall. Wait 30 minutes and confirm that the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has completed.
	Food is not packaged correctly.Food stored uncovered or unwrapped, and damp containers can lead to moisture accumulation within each compartment. Wipe all containers dry and store food in sealed packaging to prevent condensation and frost.
Food is freezing in the refrigerator compartment.	Food with high water content was placed near an air vent.· Rearrange items with high water content away from air vents.
	Refrigerator temperature control is set incorrectly.· If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize.
	Refrigerator is installed in a cold location.· When the refrigerator is operated in temperature below 41 °F (5 °C), food can freeze in the refrigerator compartment. The refrigerator should not be operated in temperature below 55 °F (13 °C).
Refrigerator or Freezer section is too cold.	Incorrect temperature control settings.· If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize.
Frost or ice crystals form on frozen food (inside of sealed package).	Condensation from food with a high water content has frozen inside of the food package.· This is normal for food items with a high water content.
	Food has been left in the freezer for a long period of time.· Do not store food items with high water content in the freezer for a long period of time.
Frost or ice crystals form on frozen food (outside of package).	Door is opened frequently or for long periods of time.· When the doors are opened often or for long periods of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This raises the temperature and moisture level within the compartment. Increased moisture will lead to frost and condensation. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.
	Doors are not always closed completely.· Firmly push the doors shut.
Refrigerator or Freezer section is too warm.	Refrigerator was recently installed.It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature.
	The air vents are blocked. Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh food section and back again through air vents in the wall dividing the two sections.Locate air vents by using your hand to sense airflow and move all packages that block vents and restrict airflow. Rearrange items to allow air to flow throughout the compartment.
	Doors are opened often or for long periods of time.When the doors are opened often or for long periods of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This raises the temperature and moisture level within the compartment. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.
	Unit is installed in a hot location.The refrigerator should not be operated in temperatures above 110 °F (43 °C).
	A large amount of food or hot food was added to either compartment.Adding food warms the compartment requiring the cooling system to run. Allowing hot food to cool to room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator will reduce this effect.
	Doors are not always closed completely.Firmly push the doors shut.
	Temperature control is not set correctly.If the temperature is too warm, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize.
Problem	Possible Cause & Solution
Icemaker is not making enough ice.	House water supply is not connected, valve is not turned on fully, or valve is clogged.·Connect the refrigerator to a cold water supply with adequate pressure and turn the water shutoff valve fully open. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact a plumber.
	Water filter has been exhausted on models with a water filter.·Replacing the water filter is recommended:- Approximately every six months.- When the water filter indicator turns on.- When the water dispenser output decreases.- When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.
	Low house water supply pressure.·The water pressure must be between 21 and 121 psi (147 and 834 kPa) on models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 psi (276 and 827 kPa) on models with a water filter. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact a plumber.
	Tubing connecting refrigerator to house supply valve is kinked.·The tubing can kink when the refrigerator is moved during installation or cleaning resulting in reduced water flow. Straighten or repair the water supply line and arrange it to prevent future kinks.
	Doors are opened often or for long periods of time.·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.
	Doors are not always closed completely.·If the doors are not properly closed, ice production will be affected.
Problem Possible	Cause & Solution
Icemaker is not making ice.	Refrigerator was recently installed or icemaker recently connected.It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature and for the icemaker to begin making ice.
	Icemaker is not turned on.Locate the icemaker ON/OFF and confirm that it is turned on.
	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 filtration system is connected to your cold water supply.Reverse osmosis filtration systems can reduce the water pressure below the minimum amount and result in icemaker issues.
Ice has bad taste or odor.	Water supply contains minerals such as sulfur.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.
	Icemaker was recently installed.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.
	The food has not been stored properly in either compartment.Rewrap the food. Odors may migrate to the ice if food is not wrapped properly.
	The interior of the refrigerator needs to be cleaned.See the Maintenance & Care section for more information.
	The ice storage bin needs to be cleaned.Empty and wash the bin (discard old cubes). Make sure that the bin is completely dry before reinstalling it.
Doors are difficult to open.	The gaskets are dirty or sticky.Clean the gaskets and the surfaces that they touch. Rub a thin coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax on the gaskets after cleaning.
	Door was recently closed.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 one minute to allow the air pressure to equalize, then see if it opens more easily.
Refrigerator wobbles or seems unstable.	Leveling legs are not adjusted properly.Refer to the Leveling and Door Alignment section.
	Floor is not level.It may be necessary to add shims under the leveling legs or rollers to complete installation.
Lights do not work.	LED interior lighting failure.The refrigerator compartment lamp is LED interior lighting, and service should be performed by a qualified technician.
Refrigerator has an unusual odor.	Food is not tightly wrapped.Wrap odorous food tightly.Store food in sealed packaging.Check whether there is any rotten food.
	The refrigerator needs to be cleaned.Refer to the "General Cleaning" section.
The interior of the refrigerator is covered with dust or soot.	The refrigerator is located near a fire source, such as a fireplace, chimney, or candle.Make sure that the refrigerator is not located near a fire source, such as a fireplace, chimney or candle.
Rattling noises.	Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line on the back of the unit, or items stored on top of or around the refrigerator.Normal Operation
	Refrigerator is not resting solidly on the floor.Floor is weak or uneven or leveling legs need to be adjusted.
	Refrigerator with linear compressor was jarred while running.Normal Operation
Whooshing noises.	Evaporator fan motor is circulating air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments.• Normal Operation
	Air is being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.• Normal Operation
Gurgling noises.	Refrigerant flowing through the cooling system.• Normal Operation
Popping noises.	Contraction and expansion of the inside walls due to changes in temperature.• Normal Operation
Sizzling noises.	Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle.• Normal Operation
Vibrating noises.	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 noises.	Water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.• Normal Operation
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 it is still more energy efficient than previous models. While the refrigerator is running, it is normal to hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound.• Normal Operation
