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 until water begins to flow. 
Dispense and discard 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water. This will 
take approximately 6 to 7 minutes and will help clear air from 
the line. Additional flushing may be required in some 
households. See the “Water Dispenser” section.
Is the water shutoff valve not turned on or the water line 
connected at the source? 
Be sure the water shutoff valve is 
turned on and the water source is connected to the 
refrigerator. See the “Water Supply Connection" section.
Is the water shutoff valve clogged or incorrectly installed? 
See the “Water Supply Connection"section. 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.
Water flow from the dispenser decreases noticeably
Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? 
The 
filter may be full or incorrectly installed. Depending on your 
model, remove the water filter cartridge (see the "Interior 
Water Filtration System” section). Operate the dispenser. If 
the water flow increases noticeably, your filter is full and 
needs to be replaced.
Water leaking from the dispenser
Is the glass not being held under the water dispenser long 
enough? 
Hold the container under the water dispenser two 
to three seconds after releasing the dispenser lever. Water 
may continue to dispense during this time.
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.
The dispenser water is not cool enough
Has the refrigerator been newly installed? 
Allow 24 hours 
for the refrigerator to cool completely.
Has a large amount of water been recently dispensed? 
Allow 24 hours for the water to cool completely. 
Has water not been recently dispensed? 
The first glass of 
water may not be cool. Discard the first glass of water.
The divider between the two compartments is warm
The warmth is probably due to normal operation of the automatic 
exterior moisture control.
Temperature is too warm
Are the air vents blocked in either compartment? 
This 
prevents cold air movement between the compartments. 
Move objects away from the air vents. See the “Ensuring 
Proper Air Circulation” section for air vent locations.
Are the door(s) opened often? 
The refrigerator will warm 
when this occurs. Keep the refrigerator cool by getting all 
items out at one time, keeping food organized, and closing 
the door as soon as possible.
Has a large amount of food just been added to the 
refrigerator or freezer? 
Adding a large amount of food 
warms the refrigerator. It can take several hours for the 
refrigerator to return to the normal temperature.
Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding 
conditions? 
See the “Using the Control(s)” section.
There is interior moisture buildup
Are the air vents blocked in the refrigerator? 
Remove any 
objects from in front of the air vents. See the “Ensuring 
Proper Air Circulation” section for air vent locations.
Are the door(s) opened often? 
Avoid humidity buildup by 
getting all items out at one time, keeping food organized, and 
closing the door as soon as possible.
Is the room humid? 
It is normal for moisture to build up 
inside the refrigerator when the room air is humid.
Is the food packaged correctly? 
Check that all food is 
securely wrapped. Wipe off damp food containers before 
placing them in the refrigerator.
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding 
conditions? 
See the “Using the Control(s)” section.
Was a self-defrost cycle completed? 
It is normal for 
droplets to form after the refrigerator self-defrosts.
The doors are difficult to open
Are the gaskets dirty or sticky? 
Clean gaskets and the 
surface that they touch. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the 
gaskets following cleaning.
The doors will not close completely
Are food packages blocking the door open? 
Rearrange 
containers so that they fit more tightly.
Is the ice bin out of position? 
Push the ice bin in all the way.
Are the crisper cover, pans, shelves, bins, or baskets out 
of position? 
Put these items into their correct positions. See 
the “Refrigerator Features” section for more information.
Are the gaskets sticking? 
Clean gaskets and the surface 
that they touch. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the 
gaskets following cleaning.
Does the refrigerator wobble or seem unstable? 
Level the 
refrigerator. See the “Door Closing and Alignment” section.
Were the doors removed during product installation and 
not properly replaced? 
Remove and replace the doors 
according to the “Refrigerator Doors" section, or call a 
qualified service technician.
