Problem

Possible Causes

Solutions

Ice has bad taste or

odor.

Water supply contains minerals such

as sulfur.

A water filter may need to be installed to eliminate

taste and odor problems.

NOTE: In some cases, a filter may not help. It may not

be possible to remove all minerals / odor / taste in all

water supplies.

Icemaker was recently installed.

Discard the first few batches of ice to avoid discolored

or bad tasting ice.

Ice has been stored for too long.

Ice that has been stored for too long will shrink,

become cloudy, and may develop a stale taste. Throw

away old ice and make a new supply.

The food has not been stored

properly in either compartment.

Rewrap the food. Odors may migrate to the ice if

food is not wrapped properly.

The interior of the refrigerator needs

to be cleaned.

See the Care and Cleaning section for more

information.

The ice storage bin needs to be

cleaned.

Empty and wash the bin (discard old cubes). Make

sure that the bin is completely dry before reinstalling

it.

Dispensing warm

water.

Refrigerator was recently installed.

Allow 24 hours after installation for the water storage

tank to cool completely.

recently and the storage tank was

exhausted.

Depending on your specific model, the water storage

capacity will range from approximately 20 to 30 oz.

Dispenser has not been used for

several hours.

If the dispenser has not been used for several hours,

the first glass dispensed may be warm. Discard the

first 10 oz.

Refrigerator is connected to the hot

water supply.

Make sure that the refrigerator is connected to a cold

water pipe.

WARNING: Connecting the refrigerator to a hot

water line may damage the icemaker.

or odor.

Water supply contains minerals such

as sulfur.

A water filter may need to be installed to eliminate

It is recommended that you replace the water filter:

Approximately every 6 months.

• When the water dispenser output decreases.

• When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.

Dispense 2.5 gallons of water (flush for approximately

5 minutes) to remove trapped air and contaminates

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
