Repositioning the Auger
Ice Dispenser Tips
1 . Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the container
and return it to the proper position. Ice maker will then produce more ice.
2 . Occasionally shake container to keep ice separated.
3 . If dispensing arm is pushed in for more than 4 minutes, the dispenser motor may
overload and stop. The overload protector will reset automatically after 3 or 4
minutes. If a large quantity of ice is needed at one time, it is best to remove cubes
directly from ice storage bin.
4 . Certain sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating. They are:
• Motor operation
• Ice being loosened from the tray
• Ice dropping into the storage bin
• Running water
• Water valve opening or closing
For more information on these operations, see Normal Operating Sounds
S e c t i o n .
5 . Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer, or for long vacations.
6 . If the ice maker is to be turned off for a long period of time, turn water supply
valve to the closed position.
Cleaning Ice Dispenser
Clean the dispenser and ice storage bin at regular intervals, particularly before you
take a vacation, move, or if ice dispenser sticks.
1 . Stop ice production by lifting the wire signal arm to the "up" or OFF position.
2 . Remove ice storage bin by lifting up and out. Empty and carefully clean bin with
mild detergent. Do not submerge auger while cleaning. Rinse with clear water.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Allow ice bin to dry completely before
replacing in the freezer.
3 . Remove ice chips, and clean the shelf and chute that supports the ice storage
b i n .
4 . Replace ice storage bin. Lower the wire signal arm on the ice maker to the
"down" or ON position. Ice maker will resume production.
IMPORTANT: When removing or replacing ice bin, do not rotate the auger in
the ice bin. If auger is accidentally turned, you must realign the auger by turning
it in 90° turns, until the ice bin fits into place with the drive mechanism. For
further instruction, see label on ice bucket.
Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:
1 . An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice
storage bin to melt, freeze together, and jam the dispenser mechanism.
2 . The ice dispenser is not used frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin
and jam dispenser mechanism. Remove ice storage bin, and shake to loosen
cubes.
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up ice. This could damage
the ice storage bin and dispenser mechanism.
