If you experience Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions Temperature is too warm ■ New Installation - Allow 24 hours following installation for the refrigerator to cool completely. ■ Door(s) opened often or not closed completely - Allows warm air to enter refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep doors fully closed. ■ A large amount of warm food has been recently added - Allow several hours for refrigerator to return to normal temperature. ■ Check that the Temperature Control(s) are set correctly for the surrounding conditions - Adjust the controls to one setting colder. Check temperature in 24 hours. See "Using the Control(s)." There is interior moisture buildup NOTE: Some moisture buildup is normal. ■ Humid room - Contributes to moisture buildup in the refrigerator. ■ Door(s) opened often or not closed completely - Allows humid air to enter the refrigerator. Minimize door openings and keep door fully closed. The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice (on some models) ■ The ice maker is not connected to a water supply - Connect refrigerator to water supply and turn water shutoff valve fully open. ■ A kink in the line can reduce water flow - Straighten the water source line. ■ Ice maker is not turned on - Make sure the ice maker wire shutoff arm or switch (depending on model) is in the ON position. ■ New installation - Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation for ice production to begin. Wait 3 days for full ice production. ■ Large amount of ice recently removed - Allow sufficient time for ice maker to produce more ice. ■ Ice cube jammed in the ice maker ejector arm - Remove ice from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil. ■ A reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply can decrease water pressure - See "Water Supply Requirements." The ice cubes are hollow or small (on some models) NOTE: This is an indication of low water pressure. ■ The water valve is not completely open - Turn the water shutoff valve fully open. ■ A kink in the line can reduce water flow - Straighten the water source line. ■ A reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply can decrease water pressure - See "Water Supply Requirements." ■ If questions regarding water pressure remain, call a licensed, qualified plumber. Off-taste, odor or gray color in the ice (on some models) ■ New plumbing connections can cause discolored or off-flavored ice - Discard the ice and wash the ice storage bin. Allow 24 hours for the ice maker to make new ice, and discard the first 3 batches of ice produced. ■ Ice stored too long can develop an off-taste - Discard ice. Wash ice bin. Allow 24 hours for ice maker to make new ice. ■ Food odor transferring to ice - Use airtight, moisture proof packaging to store food. ■ There are minerals (such as sulfur) in the water - A water filter may need to be installed to remove the minerals.
