Ice Production: What to Expect
How Much Ice Will a Side Mounted Ice
Maker Produce in 24 Hours?
A side mounted ice maker will produce 4 to 4.5
pounds of ice every 24 hours, depending on
usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8
cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
How Much Ice Will a Rear Mounted Ice
Maker Produce in 24 Hours?
A rear mounted ice maker will produce 3 to 4
pounds of ice every 24 hours, depending on
usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8
cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
IMPORTANT
Small ice cubes or ice chips jamming in the
ice maker may be a sign that your water
lterneedschanging.Ifyouhaveaside
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,
forming a solid mass of ice. As the water
lternearstheendofitsusefullifeand
becomes clogged with particles, less water is
delivered to the ice maker during each cycle.
Theicemakercan’tlleverycubeintheice

that can get caught between the ice ejector

AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER
Ice Maker/Dispenser Tips
• Ice cubes stored too long may develop
anoddavor.Emptytheicecontaineras
explained below.
• Occasionally shake the ice container to
keep ice separated.
• If your refrigerator is not connected to a
water supply or the water supply is turned
off, turn Off the ice maker.
• Ifyouneedalargequantityoficeatone
time, it is best to get cubes directly from
the ice container.
• The following sounds are normal when the
ice maker is operating:
- Motor running
- Ice dropping into ice container
- Water valve opening or closing
- Ice loosening from tray
- Running water
Turning the SIDE MOUNTED Ice
Maker On and Off
To begin ice production, lower the wire signal
arm to the DOWN or ON position. The ice
maker turns off automatically when the ice
container becomes full. To stop the ice maker,
raise the wire signal arm until it clicks and
locks in the UP or OFF position.
Turning the REAR MOUNTED Ice
Maker On and Off
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s
ON/OFF power switch. To gain access to the
ice maker, pull the ice cream shelf out. Press
the switch to the “O” position to turn it Off and
press it to the “I” position to turn it On. The
ice maker also has a built-in wire signal arm,
which automatically stops ice production when
the ice bin is full. DO NOT use this signal arm
to manually stop the ice maker.

CAUTION
Chemicals from a malfunctioning water
softener can damage the ice maker. If the
water supply to your refrigerator is softened,
be sure the softener is maintained to work
properly.
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp
instrument to break up the ice. This could
damage the ice storage bin and dispenser
mechanism.
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)untiltheicebintsintoplacewith
the drive mechanism. If the auger is not
properly aligned when replacing the ice bin,
the refrigerator will only dispense Crushed Ice.
The freezer door may also not close properly
causing warm air to leak into the freezer.
19
Cleaning the Ice Maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular
intervals, particularly before you take a
vacation or move.
To clean the ice maker:
1 Turn Off the ice maker.
2 Remove the ice bin by lifting up and out.
3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with
mild detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do
not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before
replacing in the freezer.
5 Remove ice chips and clean the ice bin
shelf and the freezer door chute.
6 Replace the ice bin. Turn On the ice maker
to resume ice production.
Remove and empty the ice
storage bin if:
• An extended power failure (one hour or
longer) causes ice cubes in the ice storage
bin to melt and freeze together, jamming
the dispenser mechanism.
• Youdonotusetheicedispenserfrequently.
Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin,
jamming the dispenser mechanism.
Remove the ice storage bin and shake to
loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.
Auger
AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER
• When dispensing ice, you will hear a
snapping or clicking sound when the ice
chute opens and closes.
• Turn Off the ice maker when cleaning the
freezer and during vacations.
- If you turn off the ice maker for a
long period of time, you should also
turn off the water supply valve.
