Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Ice Maker Issues**
The ice maker might produce less ice than expected, which is often due to a kinked water supply line, extremely low water pressure, or a reverse osmosis system being in the regenerative phase -
**Door Seal Problems**
Doors not closing properly can be caused by the refrigerator not being level, food packaging obstructing closure, or the flipper mullion on the left door not being in the correct position -
**Temperature Concerns**
The refrigerator might seem to run too long or too frequently due to its variable speed compressor, which is designed to run continuously except during the defrost cycle -
**Moisture Collection Inside**
High humidity or improper adjustment of the flipper mullion can lead to moisture buildup on the refrigerator walls -
**Frost and Ice Formation**
Frost buildup and ice cubes freezing together can occur if the ice maker doesn't get enough water or if the refrigerator is not used frequently enough. This is often due to a restricted water supply or clogged water filter

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Locate the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight, and away from heating ducts, registers, or heat-producing appliances.
- Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator and ensure that air vents are not blocked to maintain efficient airflow and reduce energy consumption.
- Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator to reduce moisture build-up.
- Organize the refrigerator to minimize door openings, removing multiple items at once and closing the door as quickly as possible.
- Level the refrigerator so that the doors close tightly, preventing cool air from escaping.
- **DANGER: Risk of Fire or Explosion** - Flammable refrigerant used. Only trained service personnel should repair this unit. Follow all manufacturer repair instructions and use only authorized replacement parts.
- **WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard** - Do not operate the refrigerator without properly grounding it. Plug it directly into a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle and avoid using an extension cord or adapter plug.
- **CAUTION: Proper Disposal** - When disposing of the refrigerator, remove the doors and leave the shelves in place to prevent child entrapment and suffocation.
- **WARNING: Explosive Substances** - Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with flammable propellants in the refrigerator.
