IMPORTANT
On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may
be noticed in the bucket or in dispensed ice.
This could occur in normal operation of the
ice maker. If you start seeing these more
frequently, it may be an indication of low
water pressure or the water filter needs to be
replaced. As the water filter nears the end of its
useful life and becomes clogged with particles,
less water is delivered to the ice maker during
each cycle. Remember, if it’s been six (6)
months or longer since you last changed your
water filter, replace the water filter with a new
one. Poor quality household water may require
the filter to be changed more frequently.
AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER
Ice maker/dispenser tips
• If your refrigerator is not connected to a water
supply or the water supply is turned off, turn
off the ice maker by holding the On/Off soft-
touch icon for three (3) seconds.
• The following sounds are normal when the
ice maker is operating:
- Motor running
- Ice dropping into ice bin
- Water valve opening or closing
- Running water
• When dispensing ice, you will hear a
snapping or clicking sound when the ice
chute opens and closes.
• If you need a large quantity of ice at one
time, it is best to get cubes directly from
the ice bin.
• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd
flavor. Empty the ice bin as explained below.
• When dispensing cubed ice, it is normal to have
a small quantity of little pieces along with the
whole cubes.
4. Allow the ice
bin to dry
completely
before
replacing in
the freezer.
5. Replace the ice
bin. Turn the
ice maker on.
Remove and empty
the ice bin if:
• An extended
power failure
(one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in
the ice bin to melt and freeze together,
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 bin and shake to loosen the
cubes or clean as explained above.
CAUTION
If the water supply to your refrigerator is
softened, be sure the softener is properly
maintained. Chemicals from a water softener
can damage the ice maker.
Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular
intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.
1. Turn off the ice maker.
2. Remove the ice bin by pulling
straight out.
3. Empty and carefully clean the ice bin
with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or
abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clear water.
Removing Ice Bin
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp
instrument to break up the ice. This
could damage the ice bin and dispenser
mechanism.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water.
Before replacing the ice bin, make sure it is
completely dry.
IMPORTANT
When removing or replacing the ice bin, DO
NOT rotate the auger in the ice bin. If the
auger is accidentally rotated, you must realign
the auger by turning it in 45 degree turns (see
below) until the ice bin fits into place with
the drive mechanism. If the auger is not
properly aligned when replacing the ice bin, the
refrigerator will not dispense ice. The fresh food
door also may not close properly causing warm
air to leak into the fresh food compartment.
