Is ice stuck in the delivery chute? Clear the ice from the
delivery chute with a plastic utensil. Do not use anything
sharp to remove the ice. You could cause damage.
Is the ice dispenser stalling while dispensing crushed
ice? Stop dispensing ice. Change the ice button from
crushed to cubed. Depress the ice dispenser arm using a
sturdy glass. If cubed ice dispenses correctly, depress the
button for crushed ice and begin dispensing again. See
Water and Ice Dispensers.
Is there ice in the bin? See The ice maker is not producing
ice earlier in this section.
Has the dispenser arm been held in too long? Release
dispenser arm. Ice will stop dispensing when the arm is held
in too long. Wait three minutes for dispenser motor to reset
before using again. It is best to take large amounts of ice
directly from the ice bin, not through the dispenser.
The ice storage bin is difficult to remove
Is the ice storage bin difficult to remove (on some
models)? For models with an ice storage bin located on the
freezer door, select cubed ice. Using a sturdy glass, quickly
depress and release the ice dispenser lever. Open the freezer
door, depress the release button on the ice storage bin and
lift upward. See Ice Maker and Storage Bin.
The water dispenser will not operate properly
Has the water system not filled? The water system needs
to be filled the first time it is used. Use a sturdy container to
depress the water dispenser bar until the water begins to
flow. Flush the water system by dispensing and discarding
6 qt (5.7 L) of water. Cleaning the system will take
approximately 3 to 4 minutes and will help clear air from the
line. Additional flushing may be required in some households.
See Water and Ice Dispensers.
Is the water shutoff valve not turned on or the water line
connected at the source? Make sure the water shutoff valve
is turned on and the water source is connected to the
refrigerator. See Connect Water Line to Refrigerator in the
Installation Instructions.
Is the water shutoff valve clogged or incorrectly installed?
See Connect Water Line to Refrigerator in the Installation
Instructions. If clogging or installation is not a problem, call
for service or contact a plumber.
Is there a kink in the home water source line? If you find or
suspect a kink in the water line, call for service.
Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The
filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. First, check the
filter installation instructions to ensure that the filter was
installed correctly and is not clogged. If installation or
clogging is not a problem, call for service.
Water is leaking from the dispenser
Glass not being held under the dispenser long enough?
Hold the glass under the dispenser 2 to 3 seconds after
releasing the dispenser lever.
Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The
water filtration system may have air in the lines, causing water
to drip. Additional flushing may help clear air from the lines.
Normal dispenser use should flush air from the lines within 24
to 72 hours.
Water flow from the dispenser decreases noticeably
Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator?
The filter may be full or incorrectly installed. Remove the
water filter cartridge. See Water Filtration System. Operate
the dispenser. If the water flow increases noticeably, replace
the filter.
