Ice & Water Dispenser
To Stop Dispensing
Release pressure from cradle and
withdraw slowly to catch last bits
of ice or drops of water.
Some slight dripping may occur
following dispensing of crushed
ice or water. If excessive, the spill
should be wiped dry immediately.
Do not pour water in spill shelf
because it is not self-draining—
pour it in the kitchen sink. The
shelf and its grille should be
cleaned regularly according to
the Care and Cleaning section.
If Ice Clumps Form in
Storage Bin...
The icemaker ejects cubes in
groups of eight, and it is normal for
several cubes to be joined together.
However, infrequent usage of ice
can cause ice clumps to form in
the storage bin, resulting in
temporary malfunction of the
dispenser mechanism.
If this happens:
Remove storage bin from freezer
compartment.
Break up ice clumps with
fingertip pressure and discard
remaining clumps.
Replace bin before remaining
cubes melt and fuse together.
