About the automatic icemaker.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will
become cloudy, taste stale, and shrink.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water pressure,
you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple times when
making one batch of ice.

Spill Shelf
Important Facts About Your Dispenser
s
Do not add ice from trays or bags to the storage bin. It
may not crush or dispense well.
s
Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow glasses.
Backed-up ice can jam the chute or cause the door in the
chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute, poke it
through with a wooden spoon.
s
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 or auger to jam.
s
To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the
glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.

To Use the Dispenser
Select
or
Press the glass gently against the top of the
dispenser cradle.
The spill shelf is not self-draining. To
reduce water spotting, the shelf and its
grille should be cleaned regularly.
Locking the Dispenser
(on some models)
Press the LOCK CONTROL pad
for 3 seconds to lock the
dispenser and control panel.
To unlock, press and hold the
pad again for 3 seconds.
Ice Storage Drawer on Dispenser Models
To remove:
Set the icemaker power switch to the O (off) position.
Pull the drawer straight out and then lift past the stop
position.
To replace:
When replacing the drawer, make sure to push it
firmly into place. If it does not go all the way back,
remove it and rotate the drive mechanism 1/4 turn.
Then push the drawer back again.
Icemaker Accessory Kit
If your refrigerator did not come already
equipped with an automatic icemaker, an
icemaker accessory kit is available at extra cost.
Check the back of the refrigerator for the specific
icemaker kit needed for your model.
(On some models.)
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is
first installed, there may be air in the water line
system. Press the dispenser arm for at least two
minutes to remove trapped air from the water line
and to fill the water system. To flush out impurities
in the water line, throw away the first six glassfuls
of water.
CAUTION: Never put fingers or any other
objects into the ice crusher discharge opening.
Dispenser Light
s
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you
selected CUBED. This happens occasionally when a few
cubes have been left in the crusher.
s
After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from
the chute.
s
Sometimes a small mound of snow will form on the door
in the ice chute. This condition is normal and usually
occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly.
The snow will eventually evaporate.
s
The first glass of water dispensed may be warmer than
the following ones. This is normal.
s
Dispensed water is not ice cold. For colder water, simply
add crushed ice or cubes before dispensing water.
This pad turns the night light
in the dispenser on and off.
The light also comes on when
the dispenser cradle is pressed.
If this light burns out, it should
be replaced with a 6 watt
maximum, 12 volt DC bulb.
