Truth or Myth? Answer Explanation
Therefrigeratorwaterltermayrequirereplacement,even
thoughthelterindicatorhasnotturnedred,orreads“Filter
Expired.”
TRUE Thewaterlterindicatorwillindicatetheneedtoreplacethewaterltereverysix
months.Waterqualityvariesfromcitytocity;ifwaterowfromthedispenser
slows,oriceproductiondecreases,thewaterltershouldbereplaced,even
thoughthelterindicatormaynotindicatetheneedforreplacement.
Theautomaticicemakerinmyrefrigeratorwillproduceice
whentherefrigeratorispluggedintoapowerreceptacle.
MYTH Therefrigeratormustbeconnectedtowater,andtheicemakermustbeturned
on.Makesuretheicemakeristurnedon,onlyafterthewaterlineisconnected
andwateristurnedon.Theicemakercanbeturnedon/ofromeitherthecon-
trolsorattheicemakerdependingonyourmodelandensuretheicemakerison,
asindicatedontherefrigeratorcontrolpanel.
Aftertherefrigeratorhasbeenpluggedinandconnectedto
water,Iwillimmediatelyhaveunlimitedchilledwateravail-
ablefromthewaterdispenser.
MYTH Thewaterdispensertanklocatedinsidetherefrigeratorstoreswaterfordispens-
ing.Thewaterinthistankrequires24hourstochillafterinstallation.Highusage
conditionswillnotallowtimeforthewatertochill.
Afterwaterdispenses,afewdropsofwaterarenormal. TRUE Afewdropsofwatermayfallfromthedispenser,afterthedispenserpaddlehas
beenreleased.Tominimizethedrops,removetheglassslowlyfromthedispenser.
Iwillneverseefrostinsidethefreezercompartment. MYTH Frostinsidethefreezertypicallyindicatesthatthedoorisnotproperlysealed,or
hasbeenleftopen.Iffrostisfound,clearthefrostusingaplasticspatulaand
towel,thenchecktoensurethatnofoodpackagesorcontainersarepreventing
thefreezerdoorfromclosing.Checktherefrigeratorcontrolpaneltoensurethe
dooralarmison.
Whentherefrigeratorisinstalled,orafterreplacingthe
waterlter,Imustdispensewaterforveminutes.
TRUE Anewlyinstalledrefrigeratororwaterltercontainairinthewaterlines.Press
thedispenserpaddleforatleast5minutestoremoveairfromthewaterline,and
ushthelter.
Icanllanycontainerusingautoll. MYTH Autolldetectstherimofthecontainer,todeterminehowmuchwatertodis-
pense.Ifacontainerisnotdetected,tryrepositioningthecontainer.Ifacontainer
willnotllproperly,tryadierentcontainer.
Tolltheicebuckettothemaximumcapacity,Ishould
dispense12and18hoursafterinstallation.
TRUE Dispensing3-4cubes12hoursand18hoursafterinstallation,allowsiceto
dispersewithintheicebucket,whichinturnscallsontheicemakertoproduce
additionalice.Normaliceproduction=100cubesin24hours.
Icanusethewaterlterbypassplugtodetermineifthe
lterrequiresreplacement.
TRUE Decreaseinowfromthewaterdispenser,ordecreasediceproduction,may
indicatetheneedtoreplacethewaterlter.Installthewaterlterbypassplug
(providedwiththerefrigerator),andcheckowfromthedispenser.Ifwaterow
returnstonormalwiththebypasspluginplace,replacethewaterlter.
Thetopoftherefrigeratordoorswillalwaysbealigned. MYTH Severalthingscanaectthethefreshfooddooralignment,includingtheoorthe
refrigeratorisinstalledon,andloadingofdoors.Ifthetopofthefreshfooddoors
arenotaligned,usea1/4”allenwrenchtoadjusttherighthanddoor.Theadjust-
mentscrewislocatedonthebottomrighthandsideofthedoor;openthefreezer
doortoaccessthescrew.
Refrigeratordoorhandlescanbeeasilytightened. TRUE Ifdoorhandlesarelooseorhaveagap,thehandlecanbeadjustedusinga1/8”
allenwrench,onsetscrewslocatedontheendsofthehandles.
Refrigeratorstart-upLCDdoesnotdisplaycorrectly TRUE IftheRefrigeratorhasbeensettinginacoldenvironmenttheLCDmaytaketime
todisplayfully.
Theremaybeaodorandtasteproblemswithyourice. TRUE Afterstartingtheicemakerthrowaway24hoursoficeproductiontoavoidodor
andtasteproblems.
