installed.

used for extended periods,
causing the ice cubes to melt

to keep cubes separate and to
increase storage capacity.
Throw old ice cubes away and
make a new supply.
Wait about 3 minutes for the
dispenser motor to reset.
Large amounts of ice should be
taken from the bucket, not
through the dispenser.
