Then…
❿
Discard first few batches of ice to avoid
discolored or off-flavored ice.
❿
Throw away old ice and make new
supply.
❿
Rewrap foods since odors may migrate
to the ice if food is not wrapped
properly.
❿
A filter may need to be installed (or
replaced) to eliminate taste and odor
problems.
❿
See
Care and Cleaning
section on
pages 34–35.
❿
Empty and wash bin. Discard old cubes.
❿
The water will evaporate. It is normal
for water to drip into the defrost pan.
❿
Expect that the water in the defrost pan
will take longer to evaporate. This is
normal when it is hot or humid.
❿
Refer to the
Understanding Sounds
You May Hear
section on page 40.
❿
Wait 24 hours after hook-up for ice
production. See the
Setting the
Controls
section on page 22.
❿
Check to see if something is holding
the door open.
❿
Select larger cube size using cube size
selector.
❿
Call a plumber to clear the valve.
❿
Clean gaskets and the surfaces that
they touch. Rub a thin coat of
appliance polish or kitchen wax on the
gaskets after cleaning.
❿
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.
