SOLUTIONS
Flush the water system. See the "Water and Ice Dispensers"

Discard ice and wash the ice storage bin. Flush the water system
with 3 gal. (12 L) of water. Allow 24 hours for the ice maker to
make new ice and discard the first 3 batches of ice produced.
It is recommended to use copper tubing or Whirlpool
line, Part Number 8212547RP. See the "Connect the Water
Supply" section.
Discard ice and wash ice storage bin. Allow 24 hours for ice
maker to make new ice.
Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water per week to maintain a fresh
supply.
Use airtight, moisture-proof packaging to store food.
A water filter may need to be installed to remove the minerals.
Gray or dark discoloration in ice may indicate that the water
filtration system needs additional flushing. Flush the water
system after installing and before using a new water filter. See
the "Water and Ice Dispensers" section for water filter flushing
instructions.
Replace the disposable water filter at least every 6 months or
when indicated. See "Water Filtration System."
Connect the refrigerator to the water supply, and turn the water
shut-off valve to fully open.
A kink in the water line can reduce water flow from the water
dispenser and result in hollow or irregular-shaped ice. Straighten
the water source line.
Flush and fill the water system. See the "Water and Ice
Dispensers" section.
The water pressure to the house determines the flow from the
dispenser. See the "Water Supply Requirements" section.
A reverse osmosis water filtration system can decrease water
pressure. See the "Water Supply Requirements" section.
Remove the water filter and operate dispenser. If water flow
increases, your filter is clogged and needs to be replaced.
See the "Water Filtration System" section.
System" section.
Close the door or drawer firmly. If it does not close completely,
see "The doors will not close completely" section.
Make sure the water dispenser wire/tube assembly has been
properly reconnected at the top of the refrigerator door. See
"Remove and Replace Refrigerator Doors" section.
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 both thoroughly. To avoid clogging and to maintain a
fresh supply of ice, empty the storage bin and clean both the
storage bin and delivery chute every 2 weeks.
