Troubleshooting Ice forms in inlet tube to ice maker Refrigerator is leaking water Water flow is slower than normal Dispenser water is not cold Water appears cloudy Particles in water and/or ice cubes. Water pressure is low. Saddle valve not open completely. Freezer temperature is too high. Plastic tubing was used to complete water connection. Improper water valve was installed. Water pressure is low. Saddle valve not open completely. Improper water valve was installed. Copper tubing has kinks. Water filter is clogged or needs to be changed. Water valve not opened completely. Refrigerator has been recently installed. Water supply in holding tank has been depleted. Water has settled into water lines outside holding tank and has warmed to room temperature. Air or air bubbles in water. Carbon dust from water filter cartridge. Concentrations of minerals in water will form particles when water becomes frozen and melts. Water pressure must be between 35 to 100 pounds per square inch to function properly. A minimum pressure of 35 pounds per square inch is recommended for refrigerators with water filters. Open saddle valve completely. See Temperature Controls pages ] 0, ] ] and ] 2. Freezer temperature should be between 0° to 2° F 1:-18° to -17° C:). The manufacturer recommends using copper tubing for installation. Plastic is less durable and can cause leakage. The manufacturer is not responsible for property damage due to improper installation or water connection. See Connecting the Water Supply pages 4 and 5. Selfpiercing and -_Z'saddle valves cause low water pressure and may clog the line over time. The manufacturer is not responsible for property damage due to improper installation or water connection. Water pressure must be between 35 to 100 pounds per square inch to function properly. A minimum pressure of 35 pounds per square inch is recommended for refrigerators with water filters. Open saddle valve completely. See Connecting the Water Supply pages 4 and 5. Selfpiercing and _,_"saddle valves cause low water pressure and may clog the line over time. The manufacturer is not responsible for property damage due to improper installation or water connection. Turn off water supply and remove kinks. If kinks cannot be removed, replace tubing. Change water filter (see page 20). Open water valve completely and check for leaks. The minimum flow at dispenser is approximately 10 fluid ounces in nine seconds with a new filter in place or approximately 10 fluid ounces in five seconds without a filter. Allow approximately 12 hours for water in holding tank to chill. Discard first glass of water and refill. This is normal when first using the dispenser and will disappear with use. Initial water ejected through cartridge may contain harmless carbon dust flushed from cartridge. Particles are safe for consumption. Will disappear after the first few uses. Particles are not harmful and naturally occur in water supplies. 34
