COOLING/ICE & WATER

Problem Possible Causes Solutions

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. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for

more information.

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).

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 eect, reduce the frequency

and duration of door openings.

Door is not closing properly. Refer to the Doors will not close correctly or pop open

section in the Troubleshooting section.

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. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for

more information.

Frost or ice crystals

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.

Icemaker is not

making enough ice.

Demand exceeds ice storage

capacity.

The ice maker will product approximately 50 to 70 cubes

in a 24 hour period.

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 shuto valve fully

open.

If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact a

plumber.

Low house water supply pressure.

NOTE:

The water pressure must be from 30 to 125 psi

or 207-862 kPa or 2.1-8.8 kgf/cm

. If the refrigerator

is installed in an area with low water pressure below

30 psi, you can install a booster pump to compensate

for the low pressure.

If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact a

plumber or install a booster pump to compensate for the

low pressure.

Reverse Osmosis ltration system is

used.

Reverse osmosis ltration systems can reduce the water

pressure below the minimum amount and result in

icemaker issues. (Refer to Water Pressure section.)

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

ow. Straighten or repair the water supply line and

arrange it to prevent future kinks.
