The Dispenser Light
When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on.
If you want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either
ON or DIM.
ON: Press LIGHT to turn the dispenser light on. “On” will appear
on the display screen.
DIM: Press LIGHT a second time to select DIM mode. “Dim” will
appear on the display screen. The dispenser light will remain on,
but at a lower intensity.
OFF: Press LIGHT a third time to turn the dispenser light off.
The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If it
appears that your dispenser lights are not working, see “Problem
Solver” for more information.
The Dispenser Lock
The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid
unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.
NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the
refrigerator, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply
deactivates the controls and dispenser pad. To turn off the ice
maker, see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”
Press and hold LIGHT for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser.
“Dispenser Locked” will appear on the display screen.
Press and hold LIGHT a second time to unlock the dispenser.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of
the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the
ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener
chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker
and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot
be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating
properly and is well maintained.
Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage
bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the
dispenser mechanism.
Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or
storage bin.
Style 1
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off:
The On/Off switch, located on the left wall of the freezer door, can
only be accessed when the ice storage bin has been removed.
See the following section for bin removal instructions.
ON
OFF
To turn on the ice maker, flip the switch to the ON (up)
position.
To manually turn off the ice maker, flip the switch to the
OFF (down) position.
NOTE: The ice maker has an automatic shutoff to keep the
storage bin from overfilling during normal operation. As ice is
made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin, and the ice cubes
will raise the shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. When the
storage bin is at full capacity, the ice maker will automatically stop
ice production, but the ice maker On/Off switch will remain in the
ON (up) position.
Ice production OFF
(Shutoff arm UP)
Ice production ON
(Shutoff arm DOWN)
Removing and Replacing the Ice Storage Bin:
1. Press down the release lever and tilt the bucket outward. Use
both hands to hold the base of the storage bin, then lift it up
and out.
NOTE: It is not necessary to flip the ice maker On/Off switch
to the OFF (down) position when removing the storage bin.
The storage bin sensor, located on the left wall of the freezer
door, stops the ice maker from producing ice if the door is
open or the storage bin is removed.
2. Replace the bin by sliding it onto the door, then tilting it back
into an upright position. The release lever will click when the
bin is securely in place.
