ICE DISPENSER
(on some models)
How the Ice Dispenser Works
When the selector switch is set at ICE CUBES…
(1) The automatic icemaker fills the
(2) ice storage bin.
(3) Pushing on the ice cradle activates the
(4) motor-powered auger which moves the ice
cubes into glass through the
(5) chute.
When the selector switch is moved to CRUSHED
ICE, a flipper directs the cubes through the
(6) crusher and crushed ice falls through the chute.
Spills are caught in the
(7) spill shelf.
CAUTION: Never put fingers or any other
objects into the ice crusher discharge opening.

Before Using Your Icemaker and Dispenser Once Your Icemaker is in Operation
If your refrigerator is operated
before the water connection is
made, remove the ice storage
bin and make sure the icemaker
feeler arm is in the STOP (up)
position.
When the refrigerator has been
connected to the water supply, move
the feeler arm to the ON (down) position.
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to
freezing. A newly-installed refrigerator may take
8 to 12 hours to begin making ice cubes.
When the water supply
has been connected to the
icemaker, remove the ice
storage bin, move the
icemaker feeler arm to the
ON (down) position, and
replace the bin.
To remove the ice storage
bin, lift the front of the bin and
pull the bin straight out while
supporting it at front and rear.
To replace the ice storage bin:
Slide it back on the ice bin shelf.
If the bin does not go all the way
back, remove it and rotate the
drive mechanism 1/4 turn. Then
push the bin back again.
