Lights do not work. LED interior lighting failure. S olutions A water fi lter may need to be installed to eliminate taste and odor problems. Replacing the water fi lter is recommended: • Approximately every six months. • When the water fi lter indicator turns on. • When the water dispenser output decreases. • When the ice cubes are smaller than normal. Dispense 2.5 gallons of water (fl ush for approximately 5 minutes) to remove trapped air and contaminants from the system. Do not dispense the entire 2.5 gallon amount continuously. Depress and release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF. Rearrange food containers to clear the door and door shelves. Push bins all the way in and put crisper cover, pans, shelves and baskets into their correct positions. See the Using Your Refrigerator section for more information. Remove and replace the doors according to the Removing and Replacing Refrigerator Handles and Doors section. See Door Alignment in the Refrigeration Installation section to level refrigerator. Clean the 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 one minute to allow the air pressure to equalize, then see if it opens more easily. Refer to the Leveling and Door Alignment section. It may be necessary to add shims under the leveling legs or rollers to complete installation. The lamps are LED interior lighting, and service should be performed by a qualified technician.
