Safety Checks You Can Do
• Check that your refrigerator is plugged in securely and the outlet is functioning by testing another device
• Verify your home circuit breaker has not tripped; reset breaker serving the refrigerator by switching it fully OFF then back ON
• Power cycle the refrigerator by turning off the breaker for 60 seconds, then turning it back ON to allow the system to reinitialize
• Ensure the refrigerator door closes completely and the door seal is not damaged or dirty
• Check that nothing is blocking the vents inside the refrigerator compartment that could restrict airflow
• Verify the ice maker and water dispenser features are not disabled in the control panel settings menu
• Inspect that the water supply line connected to the refrigerator is not kinked, bent, or frozen
• Wait 24 hours after initial installation or power restoration for the system to fully stabilize
• Check the water filter status indicator on the control panel and replace filter if it shows as needing replacement
• Ensure the refrigerator has adequate clearance around vents and is not pushed flush against walls
