Answer
Explanation
A newly installed refrigerator or water filter contains air in the water
lines. Press the dispenser paddle and dispense cold water for at least
5 minutes to remove air from the water line, and flush the filter.
Dispensing 3-4 cubes 12 hours and 18 hours after installation, allows
ice to disperse within the ice bucket, which in turns calls on the ice
maker to produce additional ice. Normal ice production = 100 cubes
in 24 hours.
Decrease in flow from the water dispenser, or decreased ice
production, may indicate the need to replace the water filter. Install
the water filter bypass plug (provided with the refrigerator on some
models*), and check flow from the dispenser. If water flow returns to
normal with the bypass plug in place, replace the water filter.
