Off-taste, odor or gray color in the ice
■ New plumbing connections? New plumbing connections can
cause discolored or off-flavored ice.
■ Ice stored too long? Discard ice. Wash ice bin. Allow 24 hours
for ice maker to make new ice.
■ Odor transfer from food? Use airtight, moisture proof
packaging to store food.
■ Are there minerals (such as sulfur) in the water? A water filter
may need to be installed to remove the minerals.
■ Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Gray or dark
discoloration in ice indicates that the water filtration system
needs additional flushing. Flush the water system before using a
new water filter. Replace water filter when indicated. See
“Water Filtration System.”
The water and ice dispenser will not operate properly
■ Refrigerator connected to a water supply and the supply
shutoff valve turned on? Connect refrigerator to water supply
and turn water shutoff valve fully open.
■ Kink in the water source line? Straighten the water source line.
■ New installation? Flush and fill the water system. See “Water
and Ice Dispensers.”
■ Is the water pressure at least 35 psi (241 kPa)? The water
pressure to the home determines the flow from the dispenser.
See “Water Supply Requirements.”
■ Water filter installed on the refrigerator? Remove filter and
operate dispenser. If water flow increases, the filter may be
clogged or incorrectly installed. Replace filter or reinstall it
correctly.
■ Refrigerator door closed completely? Close the door firmly. If it
does not close completely, see “The doors will not close
completely.”
■ Recently removed the doors? Make sure the water dispenser
wire/tube assembly has been properly reconnected at the top
of the refrigerator door. See “Refrigerator Doors and Drawer.”
■ Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold
water supply? This can decrease water pressure. See “Water
Supply Requirements.”
Water is leaking from the dispenser system
NOTE: One or two drops of water after dispensing is normal.
■ Glass not being held under the dispenser long enough? Hold
the glass under the dispenser 2 to 3 seconds after releasing the
dispenser lever.
■ New installation? Flush the water system. See “Water and Ice
Dispensers.”
■ Recently changed water filter? Flush the water system. See
“Water and Ice Dispensers.”
Water from the dispenser is warm
NOTE: Water from the dispenser is only chilled to 50°F (10°C).
■ New installation? Allow 24 hours after installation for the water
supply to cool completely.
■ Recently dispensed large amount of water? Allow 24 hours for
water supply to cool completely.
■ Water not been recently dispensed? The first glass of water
may not be cool. Discard the first glass of water.
■ Refrigerator connected to a cold water pipe? Make sure the
refrigerator is connected to a cold water pipe. See “Water
Supply Requirements.”
