Ice Maker - Frigidaire FRFG1723AV Use & Care Manual

IMPORTANT
On occasion, unusually small ice cubes
may be noticed in the bucket. This could
occur in normal operation of the ice
maker. If happening frequently, it may
be an indication of low water pressure
or the water filter needs to be replaced.
As the water filter nears the end of its
useful life and becomes clogged with
particles, less water is delivered to the
ice maker during each cycle. Remember,
if it's been six months or longer since
last changing the water filter, replace
it with a new one. Poor quality house-
hold water may require the filter to be
changed more frequently.
CAUTION
If the water supply to the refrigerator is
softened, be sure the softener is properly
maintained. Chemicals from a water
softener can damage the ice maker.
Ice maker tips
• If refrigerator is not connected to a
water supply or the water supply is
turned off, turn off the ice maker as
described in the previous section.
• The following sounds are normal
when the ice maker is operating:
- Motor running
- Ice dropping into ice bin
- Water valve opening or closing
- Running water
• If a large quantity of ice is needed
at one time, it is best to get cubes
directly from the ice bin.
• Ice cubes stored too long may
develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice
bin as explained in "Cleaning the ice
maker".
• It is normal to have a small quantity
of little pieces along with the
whole cubes.
• It is normal for ice to fill to the top of
the ice bin.

ICE MAKER

Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at
regular intervals, especially prior to
vacation or moving.
1. Turn off the ice maker.
2. Remove the ice bin by lifting upward
and pulling straight out.
3. Empty and carefully clean the ice bin
with mild detergent. Do not use harsh
or abrasive cleaners. Do not place in
dishwasher. Rinse with clear water.
4. Allow the ice bin to dry completely
before replacing in the freezer.
5. Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice
maker on.
Remove and empty the ice bin if:
An extended power failure (one hour or
longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin to
melt and refreeze together after power is
restored.
Removing Ice Bin
Remove the ice bin by (1) lifting upward and
(2) pulling straight out, then shake to loosen
the cubes or clean as explained above.
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp
instrument to break up the ice. This
could damage the ice bin.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water.
Before replacing the ice bin, make sure
it is completely dry.
