Ice maker/dispenser tips
• If your refrigerator is not connected to a water
supply or the water supply is turned off, turn off
the ice maker by holding the On/Off soft-touch
icon and the water shut-off valve for three (3)
seconds.
• 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
• when dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping
or clicking sound when the ice chute opens and
closes.
• 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.
CAUTION
If the water supply to your refrigerator is softened,
be sure the softener is properly maintained.
Chemicals from a water softener can damage the
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 pulling straight out.
3 Empty and carefully
clean the ice bin with
mild detergent. Do not
use harsh or abrasive
cleaners. 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 freeze
together, jamming the dispenser mechanism.
• You do not use the ice dispenser frequently. Ice
cubes will freeze together in the bin, jamming the
dispenser mechanism.
Remove the ice bin and 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
and dispenser mechanism.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water. Before
replacing the ice bin, make sure it is completely dry.
IMPORTANT
When removing or replacing the ice bin, DO NOT rotate
the auger in the ice bin. If the auger is accidentally rotated,
you must realign the auger by turning it in 90 degree turns
(see below) until the ice bin fits into place with the drive
mechanism. If the auger is not properly aligned when
replacing the ice bin, the refrigerator will produce no ice.
The fresh food door also may not close properly causing
warm air to leak into the fresh food compartment.
