Automatic Icemaker and
Ice & Water Dispenser
Your refrigerator has an automatic
icemaker ;nd a dispenser that
dispenses water, ice cubes and
crushed ice through the freezer
compartment door. Here's how
they work.
Water flows from the household
supply throllgh a
(1) dual solenoid valve to the
(2) water reservoir and to the
(3) automatic icernaker as needed.
Water is frozen in the
(4) cube mold and ejected into the
(5) storage bin where a rnotor-
powered tillger moves cubes
forward into the dispensirlg unit.
Cubed or crushed ice. as selected,
dispense through chute in door
when cradle is pressed.
When the switch is moved to
CRUSHED, battle in housing
channels cubes through the crusher
into glass.
Water from reservoir flows
through the
dispensed when the cradle is
pressed.

Your icemaker will produce eight
cubes per cycle—approximately
120 cubes in a 24-hour period—
depending 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
following instructions below and on
page 9.
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
freezer compartment door and look
down into the chute. If ice is
blocking the chute, poke it through
with a wooden spoon.
To help keep bits of ice from
being sprayed beyond the glass,
not so close that it blocks
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.
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
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 icernaker to malfunction.
Ice other than that produced
by your icemaker should not be
added to the ice storage bin—it
