Air in the water dispensing system can cause the water dispenser 
to drip. After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or 
replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Flushing the 
water dispensing system forces air from the water line and filter, 
and prepares the water filter for use.

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of 
the dispenser.

1. Using a sturdy container, depress and hold the water 

dispenser pad for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. 

2. Repeat Step 1 until water begins to flow. 

3. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing 

the dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total 
of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed. 

Additional flushing may be required in some households.

IMPORTANT: 

■

Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a 
fresh supply.

■

If the flow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be 
caused by low water pressure.

■

With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of 
water. If 1 cup of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less, 
the water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum 
requirement.

■

If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup of 
water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than 
recommended. See “Water Supply Requirements” or 
“Problem Solver” for suggestions.

1. Press the DISPENSE TYPE arrows on the dispenser control 

panel, until “Water” is selected. 

2. To dispense water, press a sturdy glass against the dispenser 

pad OR press the WATER button. Hold the glass close to the 
water dispenser spout to ensure that the water dispenses into 
the glass.    

3. To stop dispensing, remove the glass from the dispenser pad 

OR release the WATER button.

Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when 
the dispenser pad is pressed. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice 
Maker and Storage Bin.”

Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. Before 
dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by pressing 
the DISPENSE TYPE arrows. 

The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected.

For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This 
may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise 
from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size. 
When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed 
ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

1. Make sure the desired type of ice is selected. To switch 

between cubed and crushed, press the DISPENSE TYPE 
arrows.  

2. To dispense ice, press a sturdy glass against the dispenser 

pad OR press the ICE button. Hold the glass close to the ice 
guide to ensure that the ice dispenses into the glass.      

IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to 
the pad in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard 
will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

3. To stop dispensing, remove the glass from the dispenser pad 

OR release the ICE button.

NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for several seconds 
after removing the glass from the pad. The dispenser may 
continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.
