ICE & CHILLED WATER DISPENSER
Automatic Icemaker and Ice & Chilled Water Dispenser
Some models have an automatic icemaker and a
dispenser that dispenses chilled water, ice cubes and
crushed ice through the freezer compartment door.
Here's how they work.
Water flows from the
household supply
through a
(1) dual solenoid valve
to the

Important Facts About Your Ice & Chilled Water Dispenser
Your icemaker will produce eight cubes per cycle
approximately 120 cubes in a 24-hour period+epending
on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature,
number of door openings and other use conditions.
Intermittent dispensing of ice is normal. If ice flow
interruption is more than brief, ice clump(s) may be the
cause and should be removed.
Avoid overfilling glasses with ice and using narrow
or extra-tall glasses. This can jam the chute or cause the
door in the chute to freeze shut. Periodically open the
freezer compartment door and look down into the chute.
If ice is blocking the chute, poke it through with a
wooden spoon.
Ice should not be dispensed into thin glasses, fine
china or delicate crystal-they can crack or chip from
the combined pressure of your hand pressing them
against the cradle and ice dropping into the container.

the glass, place glass close to ice chute—but not so
close that it blocks outcoming ice.
Ice should be dispensed before filling glass with
soda or other beverage mixes. This will prevent
splashing which is annoying and which, if the splash
reaches the ice and water selector switch, could cause it
to stick or bind.
Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in
the ice storage bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in
the storage bin may cause the icemaker to malfunction.
Ice other than that produced by your icemaker
should not be added to the ice storage bin—it may not
crush or dispense well.
