Automatic Icemaker and Ice & Water Dispenser
An automatic icemaker and a dispenser provide
water, ice cubes and crushed ice through the
freezer compartment door_
Here's how they work:
Water flows from
household water
supply through
(1) dual solenoid valve to
(2) water reservoir and to
(3) automatic icemaker
as needed
Water is frozen in
(4) cube mold and
ejected into
(5) storage bin where a
motor-powered auger
moves cubes forward into dispensing unit
Cubed or crushed ice, as selected, dispense through
chute in door when cradle is pressed
When switch is moved to CRUSHED, baffle in
housing channels cubes through crusher and crushed ice
falls through chute into glass
Water from reservoir flows through
(6) tubing in door and isdispensed when cradle is
pressed
Pressure on cradle turns light in dispenser on, releasing
pressure turns the Lightoff:
(7) A light switch also turns night light in dispenser on
and off
Important Facts about Your Dispenser
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
. 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 on page tO
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 chute,
poke it through with a wooden spoon,
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
Do not dispense ice into thin glasses, fine
china or delicate crystal-they can crack or chip
from combined pressure of hand pressing them
against cradle and ice dropping into container
- Dispense ice before filling glass with soda or
other beverage mixes. This will prevent splashing
which is annoying and which, if the splash reaches the
ice 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 may not crush or dispense well
Before Using Your Icemaker and Dispenser
If refrigerator is
operated before
water connection is
made, raise ice access
door and make sure
icemaker feeler arm is
in STOP (up) position
lce access
door
Icemaker
: i
_ l_/! Feeler Arm in
ON position
When water supply has been connected to
icemaker, 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
The ice cube mold will automatically fill with water
after cooling to freezing temperature, and firstcubes
normally freeze after several hours.
When cubes are solidly frozen, they will be eiected
from the mold into ihe ice storage bin by means of a
sweeper arm fcemaking will continue until the
feeler arm senses that there are enough cubes in the
bin and halts the operation temporarily Be sure
nothing interferes with the swing of the feeler arm
For maximum ice storage, level the stored cubes
with your hand occasionally
