Page 6: Truth Or Myth
Before you call for service, review the detailed troubleshooting tips in the Owner’s manual. If needed, service can be scheduled by visiting us SERVICE online GEAppliances.com or calling 800.ge.CARES 800.432.2737 Truth or Myth Truth or Myth? The refrigerator water filter may require replacement, even though the filter indicator has not turned red, or reads “Filter Expired.” The automatic ice maker in my refrigerator will produce ice when the refrigerator is plugged in to a power receptacle. After the refrigerator has been plugged in and connected to water, I will immediately have unlimited chilled water avail- able from the water dispenser. After water dispenses, a few drops of water are normal. I will never see frost inside the freezer compartment. When the refrigerator is installed, or after replacing the water filter, I must dispense water for five minutes. I can fill any container using auto fill. To fill the ice bucket to the maximum capacity, I should dispense 12 and 18 hours after installation. I can use the water filter bypass plug to determine if the filter requires replacement. The top of the refrigerator doors will always be aligned. Refrigerator door handles can be easily tightened. Refrigerator start-up LCD does not display correctly There maybe a odor and taste problems with your ice. Answer Explanation TRUE The water filter indicator will indicate the need to replace the water filter every six months. Water quality varies from city to city; if water flow from the dispenser slows, or ice production decreases, the water filter should be replaced, even though the filter indicator may not indicate the need for replacement. MYTH The refrigerator must be connected to water, and the ice maker must be turned on. Make sure the ice maker is turned on, only after the water line is connected and water is turned on. The icemaker can be turned on/off from either the con- trols or at the icemaker depending on your model and ensure the ice maker is on, as indicated on the refrigerator control panel. -
