POSSIBLE CAUSE
• Door may have been left open.
• Turn temperature of freezer compartment colder.
• Old cubes need to be discarded.
• Ice storage bin needs to be emptied and washed.
• Unsealed packages in refrigerator and/or freezer compartments may
be transmitting odor/taste to ice cubes.
• Interior of refrigerator needs cleaning—refer to Care and Cleaning
section.
• Poor-tasting incoming water. Install a water filter—see Water Filter
Accessory section.
• ON-STOP control in STOP (up) position.
• Water supply turned off or not connected.
• Freezer compartment too warm.
• Cubes too small—water shutoff valve connecting refrigerator to home
water line may be clogged.
• Sometimes cubes fuse to the side of the ice mold and hold the feeler
arm in the STOP (up) position. Remove this ice to restart the icemaker.
• When reaching for cubes by hand, you may have pushed the feeler
arm into the STOP (up) position by mistake.
• Piled up cubes in storage bin may cause icemaker to shut off too soon.
With icemaker feeler arm in STOP (up) position, level cubes in bin.
• No ice cubes. Remove storage container. If cubes are frozen to wire
arm, remove cubes.
• No ice cubes. Icemaker turned off or water supply turned off.
• Irregular ice clumps in storage container. Break up as many as you
can with fingertip pressure and discard the remaining clumps.
• If the water dispenser has not been used for a long time, dispense
water in regular manner until all water in the system is replenished
with fresh water.
• Poor-tasting incoming water. Install a water filter—see Water Filter
section.
• Allow about 24 hours for water to cool to proper temperature after
refrigerator is first installed.
• If water dispenser has not been used for a long time, water in first
glass will not be as cool as in succeeding glasses.
• If the water system has been drained, allow several hours for
replenished supply to chill.
• Water supply line turned off or not connected.
• Supply line may be clogged with sediment.
• If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first installed, there
may be air in the water system. Press the dispenser pad for at least two
minutes to remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the
water system.
