AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
Ice Maker/Dispenser Tips
• Ice cubes stored too long may
develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice
container as explained in Cleaning the
Ice Storage Bin.
• 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
• When dispensing ice, you will hear a
snapping or clicking sound when the
ice chute opens and closes.
• Turn Off the ice maker when cleaning
the freezer and during vacations. If
you turn Off the ice maker for a long
period of time, you should also turn
off the water supply valve.
CAUTION
Chemicals from a malfunctioning water
softener can damage the ice maker. If
the water supply to your refrigerator is
softened, be sure the softener is main-
tained to work properly.
Cleaning the Ice Storage Bin
Clean the ice storage bin at regular
intervals, particularly before you take a
vacation or move.
To clean the ice storage bin:
1. Turn Off the ice maker.
2. Remove the ice storage bin by lifting
up and out.
3. Empty and carefully clean the ice
storage bin with mild detergent.
Rinse with clear water. Do not use
harsh or abrasive cleaners.
4. Allow the ice storage bin to dry com-
pletely before replacing it in the freezer.
5. Remove ice chips and clean the ice
storage bin, shelf and the freezer
door chute.
6. Replace the ice storage bin. Turn On
the ice maker to resume ice production.
Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:
• An extended power failure (1 hour or
longer) causes ice cubes in the ice
storage bin to melt and freeze togeth-
er, 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 storage bin and shake
to loosen the cubes or clean as
explained above.
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp
instrument to break up the ice. This
could damage the ice storage bin and
dispenser mechanism.
IMPORTANT
When removing or replacing the ice stor-
age bin, avoid rotating the auger in the
ice storage bin. If the auger is accidental-
ly rotated, you must realign the auger by
turning it in 45 degree turns (see below)
until the ice storage bin fits into place
with the drive mechanism If the auger is
not properly aligned when replacing the
ice storage bin, the refrigerator will not
dispense ice. The freezer door also may
not close properly causing warm air to
leak into the freezer compartment.
