IMPORTANT
Small ice cubes or ice chips jamming in the
ice maker may be a sign that your water
filter needs changing. If you have a side
mounted ice maker you may also experience
hollow cubes partially frozen cubes with
water inside. When these cubes are
harvested, they break open and spill water
over the other ice cubes in the ice container,
forming a solid mass of ice. 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.
The ice maker can't fill every cube in the ice
maker mold, leading to small cubes or chips
that can get caught between the ice ejector
blades and the stripper. Remember, if your
ice maker is jamming with small ice cubes or
it's been six months or longer since you last
changed your water filter replace the water
filter with a new one. Poor quality household
water may require the filter to be changed
more frequently.
• Ice cubes stored too long may develop
an odd flavor. Empty the ice container as
explained below.
• Occasionally shake the ice container to
keep ice separated.
• If your refrigerator is not connected to a
water supply or the water supply is turned
off, turn Off the ice maker.
• If you need a large quantity of ice at one
time, it is best to get cubes directly from
the ice container.
• The following sounds are normal when the
ice maker is operating:
- Motor running
- Ice dropping into ice container
- Water valve opening or closing
- Ice loosening from tray
- Running water
