The water dispenser
Chilled water comes from a tank behind the meat
drawer. It holds approximately 1
1 ⁄
2
quarts (1.5 L).
When the refrigerator is first hooked up, press the
water dispenser bar with a glass or jar until you draw
and discard 2 or 3 quarts (1.9 to 2.8 L). The water you
draw and discard rinses the tank and pipes.
Allow several hours to cool a new tankful.
NOTE: The small tray beneath the dispenser is de-
signed to evaporate small spills. There is no drain in
this tray. Do not pour water into it.
To dispense water:
1. Press a sturdy glass against the water
dispenser bar.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Dispense enough water every week to maintain
a fresh supply.
The dispenser light
A light is activated when dispensing ice or water and
an automatic night light will come on when the room
becomes dark.
Solving common ice and water dispenser problems
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
• Freezer door is open.
• Ice bin not properly installed. Make sure the bin is pushed in all the way.
• Wrong ice in bin. Only use crescents from the ice maker. Shake the bin
occasionally to separate cubes and increase storage room.
• Dispenser not used for extended periods of time, causing ice cubes to melt
together. Dump old ice and make a new supply.
• Ice dispenser bar held in too long. Wait about three minutes for dispenser
motor to reset.
• Large amounts of ice should be taken from the bin, not through the dispenser.
• New plumbing connections can cause discolored or off-flavored ice. Discard
the first few batches of ice.
• Cubes are stored too long. Throw them away and make a new supply.
• Food is not wrapped properly. See page 27 .
• Freezer and ice bin need to be cleaned. See page 23.
• Water may contain minerals (such as sulfur). A filter may be required to
remove them.
