Problem
Possible Causes
Solutions
Frost or ice
crystals on frozen
food (inside of
sealed package).
Condensation from food with a
high water content has frozen
inside of the food package.
This is normal for food items with a high water
content.
Food has been left in the freezer
for a long period of time.
Do not store food items with high water content
in the freezer for a long period of time.
Icemaker is not
making enough
ice.
Demand exceeds ice storage
capacity.
The icemaker will produce approximately 70~182
cubes in a 24 hour period.
House water supply is not
connected, valve is not turned
on fully, or valve is clogged.
Connect the refrigerator to a cold water supply
with adequate pressure and turn the water
shutoff valve fully open.
If the problem persists, it may be necessary to
contact a plumber.
Water filter has been
exhausted.
It is recommended that you replace the water
filter:
Approximately every six months.
•
When the water filter indicator turns on.
•
When the water dispenser output decreases.
•
When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.
•
Low house water supply
pressure.
The water pressure must be 20~120 psi or
138~827 kPa or 1.4~8.4 kgf/cm² on models
without a water filter and 40~120 psi or 276~827
kPa or 2.8~8.4 kgf/cm² on models with a water
filter.
If the problem persists, it may be necessary to
contact a plumber.
Reverse Osmosis filtration
system is used.
Reverse osmosis filtration systems can reduce
the water pressure below the minimum amount
and result in icemaker issues.
(Refer to Water Pressure section.)
Tubing connecting refrigerator
to house supply valve is kinked.
The tubing can kink when the refrigerator is
moved during installation or cleaning resulting
in reduced water flow. Straighten or repair the
water supply line and arrange it to prevent future
kinks.
