Solutions
• When the first supply of ice is dropped into the bin,
the dispenser should operate.
• Open the household water line valve and allow
sufficient time for ice to be made. When ice is
made, the dispenser should operate.
• Be sure both of the doors are closed.
• Remove the ice storage bin and thaw the contents.
Clean the bin, wipe it dry, and replace it in its
proper position. When new ice is made, the
dispenser should operate.
• Remove the ice cubes that are jamming the dispenser.
• Use the dispenser often to prevent the cubes from
freezing together.
• Only the ice cubes made by the icemaker should
be used with the dispenser.
• This sound is made when automatically made ice is
dropped into the ice storage bin. The volume may
vary according to the location of the refrigerator.
• This sound is normally made when the icemaker is
supplied with water after dropping the automatically
made ice.
