About the ice and water dispenser.
To dispense water or ice: select
Water, Crushed, or Cubed. Press
the glass gently against the top of
the dispenser cradle.
The drip tray is not self-draining.
To reduce water spotting, the
shelf and its grille should be
cleaned regularly.
If no water is dispensed when
the refrigerator is first installed,
there may be air in the water
line system. Press the dispenser
cradle for at least two minutes
to remove trapped air from
the water line and to fill the water system. To flush out
impurities in the water line, throw away the first gallon of
water.

icemaker power switch to the OFF position. With the access
door closed, support the storage bin at the bottom while
slightly lifting. Pull bin straight out.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser
Do not add ice from trays or bags to the storage bin. It may
not crush or dispense well.
Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow glasses.
Backed-up ice can jam the chute or cause the door in the
chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute, poke it
through with a wooden spoon.
Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the ice
storage bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage bin
may cause the icemaker or auger to jam.
To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass
close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you
selected Cubed. This happens occasionally when a few cubes
have been left in the crusher.

into the ice crusher discharge opening.
Locking the Dispenser:
Touch Lock for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser and control
pad. To unlock, touch Lock again for 3 seconds.
Light:
This feature turns the light on and off. The light also comes
on when the dispenser cradle is pressed. If this light burns
out, contact factory service.
Drip Tray
To replace:
Slide the bin back until the tab on the bin locks into the slot
on the shelf. If the bin does not go all the way back, remove
it and rotate the drive mechanism 1/4 turn. Then push the
bin back again.
After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the
chute.
Sometimes a small mound of snow will form on the door in
the ice chute. This condition is normal and usually occurs
when you have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly. The snow
will eventually evaporate.
The first glass of water dispensed may be warmer than the
following ones. This is normal.
Dispensed water is not ice cold. For colder water, simply add
crushed ice or cubes before dispensing water.
To eliminate drips on the drip tray, tilt the glass in slightly
when dispensing water.
