Ice & Chilled Water Dispenser
Automatic Icemaker and
Ice & Water Dispenser
Your refrigerator has an automatic
icemaker and a dispenser that
dispenses chilled water, ice cubes
and crushed ice through the freezer
compartment door Here's how
they work.
Water flows from the household
supply through a
(1) dual solenoid valve to the
(2) water reservoir and to the
(3) automatic icemaker as needed.
Water is frozen in the
(4) cube mold and ejected into the
(5) storage bin where a motor-
powered auger moves cubes forward
into the dispensing unit Cubes or
crushed ice, as selected, dispense
through chute in door when cradle
is pressed.
When the switch is moved to
CRUSHED, baffle in housing
channels cubes through the crusher
and crushed ice falls through chute
into glass.
Chilled water fi'om reservoir flows
through the
(6) tubing in the door and is
dispensed when the cradle is
pressed.
(7) A light switch turns the night
light* in the dispenser on or off°

Important Factsabout
YourIce & WaterDispenser
Your icemaker will produce eight
cubes per cycle--approximately
120 cubes in a 24-hour period--
depending on freezer compartment
temperature, room temperature;
number of door openings and other
use conditions.
o Intermittent dispensing of ice is
normal. If ice flow interruption is
more than brief, ice clump(s) may
be the cause and should be removed
following instructions below and
on page Z
o Avoid overfilling glasses with
ice and using narrow or extra-tall
glasses. This can jam the chute or
cause the door in the chute to
freeze shut. Periodically open the
freezer compartment door and look
down into the chute. If ice is
blocking the chum; poke it through
with a wooden spoon.
e To help keep bits of ice from
being sprayed beyond the glass,
place glass close to ice chute--
but not so close that it blocks
outcoming ice.
o Ice should not be dispensed
into thin glasses, fine china or
delicate crystal--they can crack or
chip from the combined pressure of
your hand pressing them against the
cradle and ice dropping into the
container.
* Ice should be dispensed before
filling glass with soda or other
beverage mixes. This will prevent
splashing which is annoying and
which, if the splash reaches the ice
and water selector switch, could
cause it to stick or bind.
o Beverages and foods should not
be quick-chilled in the ice storage
bin. Cans, bottles or food packages
in the storage bin may cause the
icemaker to malfunction.
• Ice other than that produced
by your icemaker should not be
added to the ice storage bin--it
may not crush or dispense well,
Before Using Your
Icemaker and Dispenser
If you use your refrigerator before
the water connection is made, raise
the ice access door and make sure
the icemaker feeler arm is in the
OFF (up) position as shown below
Ice access

Y
Feeler arm in
OFF (up)
position
When water supply has been
connected to icemaker, move feeler
arm to ON (down) position°
FeeJer arm
in ON (down)
position
Depress water dispenser cradle
for about two minutes to iemove
trapped air from the water line and
to fill water reservoir automatically.
Ice cube mold automatically fills
with water after cooling to freezing
temperatures_ First cubes normally
freeze after several hours
NOTE: With a newly-installed
refrigerator, allow about 24 hours
for the fi_eezer compartment to cool
down to the proper ice-making
temperature,
