38 Solutions to Common Problems Temperatures Are Too Warm Concern Potential Cause Freezer/Refrigerator temperature is too warm. • Doors are opened too frequently or too long. • Door is slightly open. Freezer temperature is too warm. Refrigerator temperature is satisfactory. • Freezer control is set too warm. Refrigerator temperature is too warm. Freezer temperature is satisfactory. • Refrigerator control is set too warm. Temperature in the Cool Zone Drawer or Perfect TempTM Drawer is too warm (select models). • Temperature control is set too warm. Water Dispenser Concern Potential Cause Dispenser will not dispense water. • Water supply is not connected. • Household water line valve is not open. Water has an odd taste and/or odor. • Ice & water filter cartridge is clogged. • Water has been in the tank for a period of time. • Unit not properly connected to cold water line. • Tubing used in the household water supply and installation may affect water taste and odor. • Water has a high mineral content. Water pressure is extremely low. • Cut-off and cut-on pressures are too low (well systems only). • Reverse osmosis system is in regenerative phase. Water/Moisture/Frost Inside Refrigerator Concern Potential Cause Moisture collects on inside of refrigerator walls. • Weather is hot and humid. • Door is slightly open. • Door is opened too often or too long. • Open containers. Water collects on bottom • Vegetables contain and give off moisture. side of drawer cover. Moisture collects in bottom of drawer. • Washed vegetables and fruit drain while in the drawer. • Fruits and vegetables are kept past their prime. Moisture collects on outside of refrigerator or between doors. • Weather is humid. • Door is slightly open, causing cold air from inside refrigerator to meet warm air from outside. Common Solution • Warm air enters the refrigerator whenever the door is opened. Open the door less often. • See Problem section, Opening/Closing of Doors/Drawers. • Set freezer control to a colder setting. Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize. • Set refrigerator control to a colder setting. Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize. • Adjust temperature control to a colder setting. Common Solution • Connect water supply (see Connecting The Water Supply section). • Open household water line valve. See Problem section Ice Maker Is Not Making Ice. • Replace filter cartridge being sure to remove protective caps. • Draw and discard 10-12 glasses of water to freshen the supply and completely rinse out the tank. • Connect unit to cold water line that supplies water to the kitchen faucet. • For best results, use copper tubing for water connections. • Contact water treatment plant for help in checking water supply source. • Have someone turn up the cut-off and cut-on pressure on the water pump system (well systems only). • It is normal for a reverse osmosis system to be below 20 psi during the regenerative phase. Common Solution • The rate of frost buildup and internal sweating increases. • See Problem section, Opening/Closing of Doors/Drawers. • Open door less often to allow internal temperature to stabilize. • Keep containers covered. • Moisture on the bottom side of the cover is not unusual. • Move humidity control (select models) to lower setting. • Dry items before putting them in the drawer. Water collecting in bottom of drawer is normal. • Routinely clean out old fruits and vegetables especially if they begin to break down. • This is normal in humid weather. When humidity is lower, the moisture should disappear. • See Problem section, Opening/Closing of Doors/ Drawers.
