Control Panel Features Refrigerator Control Panel † This feature is only available on some models. Type A Type B a Refrigerator Indicates the set temperature of the refrigerator compartment in Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F). The default refrigerator temperature is 37 °F (3 °C).
OPERATION b Water Filter Replace the water filter when the Replace Filter icon turns on. After replacing the water filter, press and hold the Water Filter button for three seconds to turn the icon light off. Replace the water filter approximately every six months. c Freezer Indicates the set temperature of the freezer compartment in Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F). The default freezer temperature is 0 °F (-18 °C).
OPERATION 25 i Ice On/Off Press and hold the Ice On/Off button for three seconds to turn the in-door icemaker on/off. The lock function disables every other button on the display. • When power is initially connected to the refrigerator, the lock function is off. • To lock the control panel buttons, press and hold the Lock button until the indicator appears in the display and the function is activated. • To disable the function, press and hold the Lock button for approximately three seconds.
OPERATION NOTE • Once turned on, Sabbath mode is maintained even after a power outage. • Selecting Sabbath mode automatically turns off the alarm functions. • The dispenser and InstaView are disabled in Sabbath mode, on applicable models. Ice and Water Dispenser Before Using the Ice and Water Dispenser CAUTION • Keep children away from the dispenser. Children may play with or damage the controls. • Dispense ice into a glass before filling it with water or other beverages.
OPERATION 27 NOTE • Lint from a cloth may adhere to the outlets. Cleaning the Dispenser Tray Wipe the entire area with a damp cloth. The dispenser tray may become wet easily due to spilled ice or water. To prevent ice cubes from melting and leaking from the dispenser, ALWAYS empty the ice bin when the icemaker is turned OFF for more than a few hours. The ice passage may become blocked with frost if only crushed ice is used.
OPERATION • It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed refrigerator to begin making ice. • Ice-making stops when the in-door ice bin is full. When full, the in-door ice bin holds approximately 6 to 8 (12-16 oz.) glasses of ice. • Foreign substances or frost on the ice-detecting sensor can interrupt ice production. Make sure the sensor area is clean at all times for proper operation. • To increase ice production, use the Ice Plus function.
OPERATION 29 Freezer Icemaker (Craft IceTM) • The ice bin stores 20 - 30 pieces of round ice. This feature is only available on some models. To turn icemakers On/Off, refer to Control Panel in the Operation section. Normal Sounds You May Hear a Feeler Arm CAUTION • Do not insert round ice into the in-door ice bin, as it can damage the ice and water dispenser. NOTE • The icemaker begins producing ice approximately 48 hours after the appliance is initially installed.
OPERATION • If you are leaving the refrigerator turned off for an extended period, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the door open to prevent fungi from growing in the refrigerator. • If doors are opened or closed too often, warm air may penetrate the refrigerator and raise its temperature. This can increase the running costs of the unit. Food Storage Tips Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted.
OPERATION 31 NOTE 2 Packaging Successful freezing depends on correct packaging. When you close and seal the package, it must not allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and could also dry out frozen food. Packaging Recommendations CAUTION • Use both hands to remove and assemble drawers. The compartment is heavy when filled with food and may cause injury if dropped.
OPERATION 4 To assemble, tilt one side of the shelf up and align the shelf with the shelf guides at the desired height. The back stop on the shelf should be facing down.

TROUBLESHOOTING 45 TROUBLESHOOTING 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. Ice cream should be firm and ice cubes should not melt in the freezer.
TROUBLESHOOTING Before Calling for Service Review this section before calling for service; doing so will save you both time and money. Cooling Problem Refrigerator is not cooling or has no power. Possible Cause & Solution A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped. Or the appliance is connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet, and the outlet's circuit breaker has tripped. • Check the main electrical box and replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
TROUBLESHOOTING 47 Problem Possible Cause & Solution Condenser / back cover is clogged. Interior moisture buildup. Doors are opened often or for long periods of time. • Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not remove the panel covering the condenser coil area. • 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 Problem Possible Cause & Solution Refrigerator or Freezer section is too warm. The air vents are blocked. Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh food section and back again through air vents in the wall dividing the two sections. • Locate air vents by using your hand to sense airflow and move all packages that block vents and restrict airflow. Rearrange items to allow air to flow throughout the compartment. Doors are opened often or for long periods of time.
TROUBLESHOOTING 49 Problem Icemaker is not making enough ice. Possible Cause & Solution Water filter has been exhausted. • Replacing the water filter is recommended: - 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Ice has bad taste or odor. Possible Cause & Solution Water supply contains minerals such as sulfur. • A water filter may need to be installed to eliminate taste and odor problems. NOTE: In some cases, a filter may not help. It may not be possible to remove all minerals/odor/taste in all water supplies. Icemaker was recently installed. • Ice that has been stored for too long will shrink, become cloudy, and may develop a stale taste. Throw away old ice and make a new supply.
TROUBLESHOOTING 51 Water Problem Water filter has been exhausted. • Replacing the water filter is recommended: - 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. Reverse osmosis filtration system is used. • Reverse osmosis filtration systems can reduce the water pressure below the minimum amount and result in icemaker issues.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Dispensing warm water. Possible Cause & Solution Dispenser has not been used for several hours. • If the dispenser has not been used for several hours, the first glass dispensed may be warm. Discard the first 10oz. Refrigerator is connected to the hot water supply. • Make sure that the refrigerator is connected to a cold water pipe. WARNING: Connecting the refrigerator to a hot water line may damage the icemaker. Water has bad taste or odor.
TROUBLESHOOTING 53 Problem Lights do not work. Possible Cause & Solution LED interior lighting failure. Refrigerator has an unusual odor. The Air Filter may need to be set to the MAX setting or replaced. The interior of the refrigerator is covered with dust or soot. The refrigerator is located near a fire source, such as a fireplace, chimney, or candle. • Set the Air Filter to the MAX setting. If the odor does not go away within 24 hours, the filter may need to be replaced.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Pulsating or highpitched sound Possible Cause & Solution Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperature. The high efficiency compressor may cause your new refrigerator to run longer than your old one, but it is still more energy efficient than previous models. While the refrigerator is running, it is normal to hear a pulsating or highpitched sound.
