AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER
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 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 your
container before adding liquids.
• It is normal for ice to fill to the top of the
ice bin.
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.
Removing Ice Bin
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, 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,
avoid rotating the auger in the ice bin. If
the auger is accidentally rotated, you must
realign the auger by turning it in 45 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 not dispense
ice. The fresh food door also may not close
properly causing warm air to leak into the
fresh food compartment.
