ICE AND WATER Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions Ice or water has an off-taste, odor, or gray color ■ New plumbing connections - New plumbing connections can result in off-flavored or discolored ice or water. This problem should go away over time. ■ Ice has been stored too long - Discard the ice and wash the ice bin. Allow 24 hours for the ice maker to produce new ice. ■ Odor has transferred from food - Use airtight moisture-proof packaging to store food. ■ Use of non-recommended water supply line - Odors and tastes can transfer from certain materials used in non-recommended water supply lines. Use only a recommended water supply line. See "Water Supply Requirements." ■ There are minerals (such as sulfur) in the water - A water filter may need to be installed in order to remove the minerals. ■ Water filter was recently installed or replaced - Gray or dark discoloration in ice or water indicates that the water filtration system needs additional flushing. See "Water and Ice Dispensers." Water dispenser will not operate properly ■ Doors not closed completely - Make sure both doors are firmly closed. (On some models, only the freezer door must be closed in order to operate the dispenser.) ■ Refrigerator is not connected to a water supply, or the water supply shutoff valve is not turned on - Connect the refrigerator to a water supply and make sure the water shutoff valve is fully open. ■ Kink in the water source line - A kink in the water line can reduce water flow to the dispenser. Straighten the water line. ■ Water pressure to the home is not at or above 35 psi (241 kPa) - The water pressure to the home affects the flow from the dispenser. See "Water Supply Requirements." ■ New installation - After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the water system. See "Water and Ice Dispensers." ■ Water dispenser measured fill feature is not dispensing an accurate amount of water - Calibrate the water dispenser. See "Water and Ice Dispensers." ■ Dispenser is locked - Unlock the dispenser. See "Water and Ice Dispensers." ■ Water filter is clogged or incorrectly installed - Replace filter or reinstall it correctly. See "Water Filtration System." ■ A reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply - This can decrease water pressure. See "Water Supply Requirements." NOTE: If questions remain regarding water pressure, contact a licensed, qualified plumber. Water is leaking or dripping from the dispenser NOTE: After dispensing, a few additional drops of water are normal. ■ Glass was not held under the dispenser long enough - Hold the glass under the dispenser for 2 to 3 seconds after releasing the dispenser pad/lever. ■ New installation, or water filter was recently installed or replaced - Air in the water lines causes the water dispenser to drip. Flush the water system to remove the air in the water lines. See "Water and Ice Dispensers." ■ Residual ice in the dispenser chute is melting - Make sure the ice chute is free of ice shavings or pieces. Water is leaking from the back of the refrigerator ■ Water line connections are not fully tightened - Make sure all connections are firmly tightened. See "Connect Water Supply." Water from the dispenser is not cool enough (on some models) NOTE: Water from the dispenser is chilled to 50°F (10°C). ■ New installation - Allow 24 hours after installation for the water supply to cool completely. ■ Recently dispensed a large amount of water - Allow 24 hours for the new water supply to cool completely. ■ Water has not been recently dispensed - The first glass of water may not be cool. Discard the first glass of water dispensed. ■ Refrigerator is not connected to a cold water pipe - Make sure the refrigerator is connected to a cold water pipe. See "Water Supply Requirements." 34
