DOORS AND LEVELING

Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions

Doors are difficult to open

■

Gaskets are dirty or sticky - Clean the gaskets and contact surfaces with mild soap and warm 
water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.

Doors will not 
close completely

■

Door is blocked open - Move food packages away from the door. Make sure all bins and 
shelves are in their correct positions. Make sure all packaging materials have been removed.

Doors appear to be uneven

■

Doors need to be aligned, or refrigerator needs to be leveled - See the leveling and door 
alignment instructions.

Refrigerator rocks 
and is not stable

■

Refrigerator is not level - To stabilize the refrigerator, remove the base grille and lower the 
leveling feet until they touch the floor. See the leveling and door alignment instructions.

ICE AND WATER

Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions

Ice maker is not 
producing ice, 
not producing 
enough ice, 
or producing 
small/hollow ice

■

Refrigerator is not connected to a water supply, or the water supply shutoff valve is not fully 
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, resulting in decreased ice 
production, small ice cubes, and/or hollow or irregularly-shaped ice. Straighten the water line.

■

Ice maker is not turned on - Turn on the ice maker. See “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

■

New installation - After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the water system. 
(See “Water and Ice Dispensers.”) Wait 24 hours for ice production to begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice 
production. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

■

Large amount of ice was recently removed - Allow sufficient time for the ice maker to produce 
more ice.

■

Ice is jammed in the ice maker ejector arm - Remove ice from the ejector arm using a plastic utensil.

■

Inadequate water pressure - Verify that the household has adequate water pressure. See “Water 
Supply Requirements.”

■

Water filter is installed incorrectly - Make sure the filter is properly installed. 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.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.
