Ice & Chilled Water
Automatic Icemaker and
Ice & Water Dispenser
Yourrefrigerator has an automatic
icemaker and a custom dispenser
that dispenses chilled water. ice
cubes and crushed ice through the
freezer compartment door. Here’s
how they work.
Waterflows from the household
supply through a
(1)dual solenoid valve to the
(2) water reservoir and to the
(3) automatic icemaker as needed.
Wateris 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.

ice cubes will dispense through

When you touch the CRUSHED
pad, baffle in housing channels
cubes through the crusher and
crushed ice falls through chute into
glass when cradle is pressed.
Chilled water from 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
when the LIGHT pad is touched.

Important Facts about
YourIce & WaterDispenser
● Youricemaker will produce eight
cubes per cycle-approximately
120cubes in a 24-hour period—
depending on freezer compartment
temperature, room temperature,
number of door openings and other
use conditions.
● Intermittent dispensing of ice is
normal. If ice flow interruption is
more than b~ef, ice clump(s) may
be the causeand shouldbe removed
following instmctions below and
on page 13.
● Avoidoverfilling 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 chute, poke it through with
a wooden spoon.
● Toheip 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.
● Ice should not be dispensed into
thin glasses, fme 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.
● 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
maynotcrushordispense
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

When water supply has been
n
connected to ice-maker. move feeler
arm to ON (down) position.
Depress water dispenser cradle
for about two minutes to remove
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 freezer compartment to cool
down to the proper ice-making
temperature.
