Important Facts About Your Dispenser

PDNHUEXFNHW,WPD\QRWFUXVKRUGLVSHQVH
Ŷ Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow
glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the chute or cause the
GRRULQWKHFKXWHWRIUHH]HVKXW,ILFHLVEORFNLQJWKH
chute remove the ice bucket, poke it through with a
wooden spoon.
Ŷ Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the
door ice maker bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in
the storage drawer may cause the ice maker or auger
to jam.
Ŷ To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the
glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.
Ŷ Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you
selected CUBED ICE. This happens occasionally when
a few cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher.
Ŷ After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip
from the chute.
Ŷ Sometimes a small mound of snow will form on the
door in the ice chute. This condition is normal and
usually occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice
repeatedly. The snow will eventually evaporate.

Truth or Myth? Answer Explanation
The refrigerator water filter may require
replacement prior to six months
758( The water filter indicator will indicate the need to replace the water
filter every six months or 170 gallons of water dispensed (select

the dispenser slows, or ice production decreases, the water filter
should be replaced, even though the filter indicator may not indicate
the need for replacement.
The automatic ice maker in my refrigerator will
produce ice when the refrigerator is plugged
into a power receptacle.
MYTH The refrigerator must be connected to water, and the ice maker
must be turned on. Make sure the ice maker is turned on, only after
the water line is connected and water is turned on. The ice maker
can be turned onoff from the controls and ensure the ice maker
is on, as indicated on the refrigerator control panel. See About the
Automatic Ice Maker.
After the refrigerator has been plugged in and

water dispenser.
MYTH The water dispenser tank located inside the refrigerator stores water
for dispensing. The water in this tank requires 24 hours to chill after
installation. High usage conditions will not allow time for the water
to chill.
After water dispenses, a few drops of water
are normal.
