Press and hold the Lock button for 3 seconds
to unlock the control panel and dispenser.
The dispenser can be set for ice or water.
Make certain that the control panel is set for
the proper operation. Press the Ice Select
button on the control panel to cycle through
the ice options.
Infrequent use of the ice dispenser will cause
the cubes to stick together over time, which
will prevent them from properly dispensing.
Check the ice bin for ice cubes clumping/
sticking together. If they are, break up the ice
cubes to allow for proper operation.
Be sure to correctly install the ice bin into
position. Refer to Using your Refrigerator for
removal and installation instructions.
Wait 12 to 24 hours after icemaker
installation for ice production to begin. Wait
72 hours for full ice production.
Eliminate the frost or ice fragments by
removing the ice bin and clearing the chute
with a plastic utensil. Dispensing cubed ice
can also help prevent frost or ice fragment
buildup.
Allow 24 hours after installation for the water
storage tank to cool completely.
The unit has a 12 oz water storage tank inside
the refrigerator.
Make sure the refrigerator is connected to a
cold water pipe.
If the temperature is too cold, raise the
temperature setting one increment at a time
(refer to the Setting the Controls section).
When changing control settings, wait 24 hours
before making additional adjustments.
