Installing and Using Specific Features (continued)
Dispenser Light
A control panel light turns on automatically
when dispensing
ice or water.
a. To turn light on or off, push in on front panel
switch,
located
to left of ice dispenser
bar.
b. Regardless
of switch
position,
light is activated
when
refrigerator
is dispensing
ice or water.
How the Water Dispenser
Works
The water dispenser reservoir is located in the
refrigerator
behind the high-humidity
compartment or crisper drawers, depending
on
the model, and water is routed to the dispenser
bar in a way which prevents freezing.
a. The water reservoir
is covered
with styrofoam
or plastic,
which
must
not be removed.
b. When the Dispenser
bar is activated,
a solenoid
in the water line is energized
and water is
added
to the reservoir.
Using
the force of the
household
water pressure,
water moves
into
the tubing
and out through
the Dispenser.
See
Figure
34.
How
the Ice Dispenser
Works
For safety and for maximum
freezer
storage
space, all mechanisms
for ice making
and dis-
pensing
are enclosed
in a separate
compartment.
a. Water is automatically
measured
into the ice
maker for freezing.
b. Ice is produced
when ice maker control
arm is
in the DOWN
position.
After the water freezes,
a sensor
activates
the ejector blades
t9 dump
cubes into the U-shaped
harvest
bin for
storage.
c. When
the Dispenser
bar is pressed,
a large
auger moves
cubes from bin to Dispenser,
providing
either cubes
or crushed
ice. See
Figure
35.

d. In CUBE mode,
auger turns
ice wheel
counter-
clockwise
to bypass
crusher
blades
and move
cubes directly
to container.
e. In CRUSHED
mode,
auger
turns
clockwise
to
force cubes
into crusher
blades
and dispenses
crushed
ice directly
to container.
Water Taste and Odor
Many
variables
affect the taste and odor of water,
including:
• iron and other
mineral
deposits
normally
found
in water.
• type of tubing
used
for household
water
supply
and to connect
refrigerator
to household
water.
• water
left standing
for long periods
in the
storage
reservoir
and/or
water
supply
line.
