WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION


To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, disconnect the refrigerator from electrical power before connecting a water supply line to the refrigerator.


To Avoid Property Damage:

  • We recommend copper or stainless Steel braided tubing for the water supply line. We do not recommend using water supply tubing made of ¼ in. plastic. Plastic tubing greatly increases the potential for water leaks, and the manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage if you use plastic tubing for the supply line.
  • DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
  • Chemicals from a malfunctioning water softener can damage the ice maker. If a water softening system is present, ensure you maintain the softener and it is working properly.


Ensure the water supply line connections comply with all local plumbing codes.

To install the water supply line, you need the following:

  • Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and Phillips screwdriver
  • Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
  • A water supply line made of ¼" (6.4 mm) OD, copper or braided stainless steel tubing. To determine the length of tubing needed, measure the distance from the main water inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to the cold water pipe.
    Then add approximately 6' (1.8 m), so you can move the refrigerator out for cleaning.

    Connection to Household Water Supply with 1/4" compression fitting


6 ft. (1.8 Meters) Stainless Steel water line from household water supply line

  • A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to the household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.
  • Do not reuse compression fitting or use thread seal tape.
  • A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a copper water supply line to the main water inlet valve.

information NOTE
Check with local building authority for recommendations on water lines and associated materials prior to installing refrigerator. Depending on local/ state building codes, we recommend for homes with existing valves its Smart Choice water line kit 5304437642 with a 6' (1.8 meters) braided Stainless Steel Water Line. Please refer to Frigidaire.com for more information.

information NOTE
Expect the first ice harvest within the first 24 hours of unit operation. To prevent any issues concerning ice production, please ensure you prime all water lines. See Priming the water supply system in the AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER section.


The refrigerator's water supply system includes several tubing lines, a water filter, and a water valve. To ensure the water dispenser works properly, completely fill this system with water when you first connect the refrigerator to the household water supply line.

To Connect Water Tube to Household Water Supply

  1. Disconnect refrigerator from electrical power source.
  2. Place the end of the water supply line into a sink or bucket. Turn ON the water supply and flush the supply line until the water is clear. Turn OFF the water supply at the shutoff valve.
  3. Open the locking clips and grab the water line coming from the refrigerator. Remove the plastic cap from the water inlet fitting and discard the cap.

AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER

Using the ice maker after installation

Before making ice for the first time, be sure to prime the water supply system. Air in new plumbing lines can result in two or three empty ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the system is not flushed, the first ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor.

Priming the water supply system

Before dispensing water for the first time, be sure to prime the water supply system. If the system is not flushed, the first glasses of water may have discolored water or have an odd flavor.


For proper dispenser operation, recommended water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause the system to malfunction.

  1. Hold a glass against the paddle for about 4 minutes to purge air from the system.
  2. Continue dispensing at least 1 full gallon (3.6 L) of water and discard.

information NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device that shuts off the water flow after two minutes of continuous use. To reset this shutoff device, simply release the dispenser paddle.

information NOTE
After the initial 26 oz (750 ml), water will remain room temperature until the tank has refilled and been given enough time to chill the next 26 oz (750 ml) of water. May take up to 8 hours to chill.

Ice Maker Operation & Care

After the refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. The ice maker will fill the ice bin from the rear. Dispense some ice to force the ice forward in the bin. This will allow the bin to fill completely.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity

Both counter depth and standard depth model ice makers should produce 3.2 to 3.7 lbs of ice per 24 hours depending on usage conditions. The counter depth ice bin will hold about 4 lbs of ice, and the standard depth ice bin will hold about 5 lbs of ice.

Turning the ice maker on and off


The ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work as soon as the refrigerator is installed. If it is not possible to connect a water supply, set the ice maker's On/Off feature to Off either by using the display or by pressing the switch (features vary by model). Otherwise, the ice maker's fill valve may make a loud chattering noise when it attempts to operate without water.

Press and hold Ice Maker on the external appliance control display for 3 seconds to turn ice production on and off.

information NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal arm that automatically stops ice production when the ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be used to manually stop the ice maker.


Turning off the ice maker simply disables ice making. Existing ice can still be dispensed, and water can be dispensed.


On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may be noticed in the bucket or in dispensed ice. This could occur in normal operation of the ice maker. If happening frequently, it may be an indication of low water pressure or the water filter needs to be replaced. As the water filter nears the end of its useful life and becomes clogged with particles, less water is delivered to the ice maker during each cycle. Remember, if it's been six months or longer since last changing the water filter, replace it with a new one. Poor quality household water may require the filter to be changed more frequently.


If the water supply to the refrigerator is softened, be sure the softener is properly maintained. Chemicals from a water softener can damage the ice maker.

Ice maker/dispenser tips

  • If refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the water supply is turned off, turn off the ice maker as described in the previous section.
  • The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:
    • Motor running
    • Ice dropping into ice bin
    • Water valve opening or closing
    • Running water
  • If a large quantity of ice is needed at one time, it is best to get cubes directly from the ice bin.
  • Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice bin as explained below.
  • When dispensing cubed ice, it is normal to have a small quantity of little pieces along with the whole cubes.
  • To avoid splashing, dispense ice into the container before adding liquids.
  • It is normal for ice to fill to the top of the ice bin.

Cleaning the ice maker

Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.

  1. Turn off the ice maker using the button on the display.
  2. Remove the ice bin by lifting upward and pulling straight out.
    Removing the ice bin for Cleaning the ice maker
  3. Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Do not place in dishwasher. Rinse with clear water.
  4. Allow the ice bin to dry completely before replacing in the freezer.
  5. Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker on.

Remove and empty the ice bin if:

  • An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin to melt and refreeze together after power is restored, jamming the dispenser mechanism.
  • The ice dispenser is used infrequently. Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin, jamming the dispenser mechanism. Shake the bin to loosen the cubes, or clean as explained above.


NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice. This could damage the ice bin.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water. Before replacing the ice bin, make sure it is completely dry.

STORING FOOD AND SAVING ENERGY

Ideas for storing foods

Fresh food storage

  • Keep the fresh food compartment between 34°F and 44°F with an optimum temperature of 37°F.
  • Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves, which reduces air circulation and causes uneven cooling.
  • Avoid placing food in front of air ports. (See CONTROLS AND SETTINGS for illustration.)

Fruits and vegetables

  • Store fruits and vegetables in crisper drawers, where trapped moisture helps preserve food quality for longer time periods.
  • Do not wash items until ready to use. Remove excess water before placing inside unit.
  • Wrap any items that have strong odors or high moisture content.

Meat

  • Wrap raw meat and poultry separately and securely to prevent leaks and contamination of other foods or surfaces.
  • Use the Custom-Flex Temp Drawer to store meat/poultry for short-term storage. Any meat to be kept longer than two days should be frozen.

Frozen food storage

  • Keep the freezer compartment at 0°F (-18°C) or lower.
  • A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least ⅔ full.

Packaging foods for freezing

  • To minimize food dehydration and quality deterioration, use aluminum foil, freezer wrap, freezer bags, or airtight containers. Force as much air out of the packages as possible and seal them tightly. Trapped air can cause food to dry out, change color, and develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).
  • Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer wrap prior to freezing.
  • Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.

Loading the freezer

  • Prior to grocery shopping, activate Freeze Boost so newly purchased food designated for the freezer will be preserved as quickly as possible.
  • Activating Freeze Boost also will help the freezer more efficiently maintain the selected temperature after placing new purchases with pre-existing frozen foods.
  • Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at one time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of freezing, and can raise the temperature of frozen foods.
  • Leave a space between packages, so cold air can circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as possible.

Ideas for saving energy

Installation

  • Locate the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight, and away from heating ducts or registers.
  • Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-producing appliances such as a range, oven, or dishwasher. If this is not possible, a section of cabinetry or an added layer of insulation between the two appliances will help the refrigerator operate more efficiently.
  • Level the refrigerator so that the doors close tightly.

Temperature settings

  • Refer to CONTROLS AND SETTINGS for illustration and recommended settings.

Food storage

  • Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator or blocking cold air vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy.
  • Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
  • Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
  • Do not place a hot container directly on a cold shelf. Remember, such an extreme temperature change may damage the glass.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS

Understanding the sounds coming from the unit
High-efficiency refrigerators may introduce unfamiliar sounds. These sounds normally indicate the refrigerator is operating correctly. Some surfaces on floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make these sounds more noticeable.
Understanding the sounds coming from the unit

The following is a list of major components in the refrigerator and the sounds they can cause:

  1. Evaporators
    Refrigerant through the evaporators may create a boiling or gurgling sound.
  2. Evaporator fans
    Sounds of air being forced through the refrigerator by the evaporator fans may be heard.
  3. Defrost heaters
    During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost heaters may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a popping sound may occur.
  4. Automatic ice maker
    When ice has been produced, sounds of ice cubes falling into the ice bin may be heard. Ice maker fan, water valve activation, and refrigerant gas fluid may create sounds from its operation.
  5. Electronic control & automatic defrost control
    These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound when turning the cooling system on and off.
  6. Condenser fan
    Sounds of air being forced through the condenser may be heard.
  7. Compressor
    Modern, high-efficiency compressors run much faster than previous models. The compressor may have a noticeable hum or pulsating sound during operation.
  8. Water valves
    Make a buzzing sound each time they open to fill the ice maker.
  9. Drain pan (not removable)
    Sounds of water dripping into the drain pan during the defrost cycle may be heard.
  10. Condenser
    May create minimal sounds from forced air.
  11. Motorized damper
    May produce a light humming during operation.
  12. Ice dispenser
    When dispensing ice, a snapping, clicking, or popping sound may be heard.

information NOTE
Energy efficient foam in the refrigerator is not a sound insulator.

information NOTE
During automatic defrost cycle, a red glow in the back wall vents of the freezer compartment is normal.

  • The water supply line is kinked.
  • Ensure the supply line does not kink when the refrigerator is pushed into place against the wall.
  • The water filter is not seated properly.
  • Remove and reinstall the water filter. Be sure to seat it fully into the locked position.
  • The water filter may be clogged with foreign material.
  • If water dispenses slowly or not at all, or if the filter is 6 months old or older, replace it.
Ice maker is not making enough ice.
  • Ice maker is producing less ice than expected.
  • Both counter depth and standard depth model ice makers should produce 3.2 to 3.7 lbs of ice per 24 hours depending on usage conditions. The counter depth ice bin holds about 4 lbs of ice, and the standard depth ice bin holds about 5 lbs of ice.
  • The water filter may be clogged with foreign material.
  • If water dispenses slower than normal, or if the filter is 6 months old or older, replace it.
  • The water supply line is kinked.
  • Ensure the supply line does not kink when the refrigerator is pushed into place against the wall.
  • Saddle valve on cold water pipe is clogged or restricted by foreign material.
  • Turn off household water line valve. Remove the valve. Ensure the valve is not a self-piercing saddle valve. Clean the valve. Replace the valve if necessary.
  • Water pressure is extremely low. Cut-off and cut-on pressures are too low (well systems only).
  • Have someone turn up the cut-off and cut-on pressure on the water pump system (well systems only).
  • Reverse osmosis system is in regenerative phase.
  • Heavy traffic, opening or closing of the doors excessively.
  • It is normal for a reverse osmosis system to be below 20 psi during the regenerative phase.
Ice cubes are freezing together.
  • Ice cubes are not being used frequently enough or power has been interrupted for prolonged time.
  • Remove the ice bin and discard the ice. The ice maker will produce a fresh supply. Use the ice at least twice weekly to keep the cubes separated.
  • Ice cubes are hollow (shells of ice with water inside). The hollow cubes break open in the bin and leak their water onto existing ice, which causes it to freeze together.
  • This generally occurs when the ice maker does not get enough water. This is usually the result of a clogged water filter or restricted water supply. Replace the water filter and if the condition still occurs, check to see if the water valve is not turned on all the way or if there is a kinked water supply line.
Dispenser
Dispenser will not dispense ice.
  • No ice in the bin to be dispensed.
  • See the Ice maker is not making any ice section.
