TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions Q: What are the best temperature settings for my refrigerator and freezer? A: The default setting for the refrigerator is 37° Fahrenheit (3° Celsius). The default setting for the freezer is 0° Fahrenheit (-18° Celsius). Adjust these settings as necessary to keep food at desired temperatures. Milk should be cold when stored on the inner shelf of the refrigerator.
TROUBLESHOOTING 53 Before Calling for Service 5HYLHZ WKLV VHFWLRQ EHIRUH FDOOLQJ IRU VHUYLFH GRLQJ VR ZLOO VDYH \RX ERWK WLPH DQG PRQH\ Problem Refrigerator and Freezer section are not cooling. Cooling system runs too much. Possible Cause Solutions The refrigerator control is set to OFF (some models). Turn the control ON. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for proper temperature settings. Refrigerator is set to Demo Mode.
TROUBLESHOOTING Cooling Problem Interior moisture buildup. Food is freezing in the refrigerator compartment. Refrigerator or Freezer section is too warm. Possible Cause Solutions Doors are opened often or for long periods of time. When the doors are opened often or for long periods of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This raises the temperature and moisture level within the compartment. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.
TROUBLESHOOTING 55 Cooling/Ice & Water Problem Refrigerator or Freezer section is too cold. Frost or ice crystals form on frozen food (inside of sealed package). Frost or ice crystals form on frozen food (outside of package). Solutions Doors are opened often or for long periods of time. When the doors are opened often or for long periods of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This raises the temperature and moisture level within the compartment.
TROUBLESHOOTING Ice & Water Problem Possible Cause Solutions Demand exceeds ice storage capacity. The icemaker will produce approximately 70-184 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING 57 Ice & Water Problem Ice has bad taste or odor. Icemaker is making too much ice. Ice is not dispensing. Solutions The ice detecting sensor is obstructed. Foreign substances or frost on the ice-detecting sensor can interrupt ice production. Make sure that the sensor area is clean at all times for proper operation. The refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the supply shutoff valve is not turned on.
TROUBLESHOOTING Ice & Water Problem Ice is not dispensing. Possible Cause Solutions Infrequent use of the dispenser. Infrequent use of the ice dispenser will cause the cubes to stick together over time, which will prevent them from properly dispensing. Check the ice bin for ice cubes clumping/sticking together. If they are, break up the ice cubes to allow for proper operation. The delivery chute is clogged with frost or ice fragments.
TROUBLESHOOTING 59 Ice & Water Problem Dispensing warm water. Solutions Refrigerator or freezer doors are not closed properly. Water will not dispense if any of the refrigerator doors are left open. :DWHU ¿OWHU KDV EHHQ UHFHQWO\ removed or replaced. $IWHU WKH ZDWHU ¿OWHU LV UHSODFHG GLVSHQVH JDOORQV RI ZDWHU ÀXVK IRU DSSUR[LPDWHO\ ¿YH PLQXWHV WR UHPRYH trapped air and contaminants from the system. Do not dispense the entire 2.5 gallon amount continuously.
TROUBLESHOOTING Parts & Features Problem Possible Cause Solutions Food packages are blocking the door open. Rearrange food containers to clear the door and door shelves. Ice bin, crisper cover, pans, shelves, door bins, or baskets are out of position. Push bins all the way in and put crisper cover, pans, shelves and baskets into their correct positions. See the Operation section for more information. The doors were removed during product installation and not properly replaced.

Normal Operation Refrigerator is not resting solidly on the ÀRRU Floor is weak or uneven or leveling legs need to be adjusted. See the Leveling and Door Alignment section.
TROUBLESHOOTING Wi-Fi Problem Possible Cause Solutions The password for the Wi-Fi network was entered incorrectly. x Delete your home Wi-Fi network and begin the registration process again. Mobile data for your smartphone is turned on. x Turn off the Mobile data on your smartphone before registering the appliance.
