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 for three 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.
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.
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.
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.

abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clear water.
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 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
freshfood €ompa_ment. .................
