Automatic Ice & Water Maker/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 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.
• When dispensing cubed ice, it is
normal to have a small quantity of little
pieces along with the whole cubes.
• Ice cubes stored too long may
develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice
bin as explained below.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 90 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 bin will
not install correctly. The fresh food door also
may not close properly causing warm air to
leak into the fresh food compartment.

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 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.
