IMPORTANT
Small ice cubes or ice chips jamming in the
ice maker may be a sign that your water filter
needs changing. If you have a side mounted ice
maker you may also experience hollow cubes
-- partially frozen cubes with water inside. When
these cubes are harvested they break open and
spill water over the other ice cubes in the ice
container,formingasolidmassofice.Asthe
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.

can get caught between the ice ejector blades
and the stripper. Remember, if your ice maker

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.
