ICE MAKER
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in plastic
signal arm that automatically stops ice
production when the ice bin is full. Do
not use this signal arm to manually stop
the ice maker.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker simply dis-
ables ice making. You can still dispense
existing ice and water.
NOTE
We recommend you turn the ice maker
off if you will not use the refrigerator
for an extended period of time.
IMPORTANT
Occasionally, you may notice unusu-
ally small ice cubes in the bucket or in
dispensed ice. This could occur in nor-
mal operation of the ice maker. If this
happens frequently, it may indicate 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 6 months
or longer or you have dispensed more
than 200 gallons (757 liters) since last
changing the water filter, replace it with
a new one. You may have to change the
filter more frequently if you have poor
quality household water.
CAUTION
Properly maintain the water supply
to the refrigerator if it is softened.
Chemicals from a water softener can
damage the ice maker.
Ice maker/dispenser 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 you need a large quantity of ice
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 below.
•
When dispensing cubed ice, it is
normal to have a small quantity of
little pieces along with the whole
cubes.
•
To avoid splashing, dispense ice into
the container before adding liquids.
•
It is normal for ice to fill to the top of
the ice bin.
Cleaning the Ice Bin
Regularly clean the ice maker and ice bin,
especially prior to vacation or moving.
1.
Turn off the ice maker.
2. Remove the ice bin by lifting it
upward and pulling it straight out.
3. Empty and carefully clean the ice
bin with mild detergent. Do not use
harsh or abrasive cleaners. Do not
place it in the dishwasher. Rinse with
clear water.
4. Allow the ice bin to dry completely
before replacing it into the
compartment.
5. Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice
maker on.
