Automatic Ice Maker & Water 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
• If you need a large quantity of ice
at one time, it is best to get cubes
directly from the ice bin.
• Ice cubes stored too long may
develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice
bin as explained below.
• When dispensing cubed ice, it is
normal to have a small quantity of little
pieces along with the whole cubes.
Removing Ice Bin
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.
4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely
before replacing.
5 Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice
maker on.
Adjusting Ice Bin Auger
Auger
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.
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 45
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 refrigerator will
not dispense ice. The fresh food door
also may not close properly causing
warm air to leak into the fresh food
compartment.
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.
NOTE
Dispenser models allow for an additional
freezer ice maker to be installed. Call
1-877-435-3287 for more information.
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp
instrument to break up the ice. This
could damage the ice bin.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water.
Before replacing the ice bin, make sure
it is completely dry.
