Check if... Then... ICE HAS OFFTASTE OR ODOR The icemaker was recently installed. The ice has been stored for too long. The food has not been wrapped tightly in either compartment. The water supply contains minerals such as sulfur. The interior of refrigerator needs cleaning. Ice storage bin needs cleaning. THERE IS WATER IN THE DEFROST DRAIN PAN The refrigerator is defrosting. It is more humid than normal. • Discard first few batches of ice to avoid discolored or off-flavored ice. • Throw away old ice and make new supply. • Rewrap foods since odors may migrate to the ice if food is not wrapped properly. • A filter may need to be installed (or replaced) to eliminate taste and odor problems. • See Care and Cleaning section on pages 26-27. • Empty and wash bin. Discard old cubes. • The water will evaporate. It is normal for water to drip into the defrost pan. • Expect that the water in the defrost pan will take longer to evaporate. This is normal when it is hot or humid. THE REFRIGERATOR SEEMS TO MAKE TOO MUCH NOISE The sounds may be normal for your refrigerator. • Refer to the Understanding Sounds You May Hear section on page 32. THE ICEMAKER IS NOT PRODUCING ICE OR ICE CUBES ARE FREEZING TOO SLOWLY The freezer temperature is cold enough to produce ice. Door left open. • Wait 24 hours after hook-up for ice production. See the Setting the Controls section on page 16. • Check to see if something is holding the door open. CUBES PRODUCED BY ICEMA KER A RE TOO SMALL Smaller cube size level is selected. Water shutoff valve connecting refrigerator to water line may be clogged. • Select larger cube size using cube size selector. • Call a plumber to clear the valve. THE DOORS ARE DIFFICULT TO OPEN The gaskets are dirty or sticky. The door is reopened within a short time after having been opened. Clean gaskets and the surfaces that they touch. Rub a thin coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax on the gaskets after cleaning. When you open the door, warmer air enters the refrigerator. As the warm air cools, it can create a vacuum. If the door is hard to open, wait 5 minutes to allow the air pressure to equalize, then see if it opens more easily. 34
