with particles, less water is delivered to the
ice maker during each cycle. Remember, if it
has been six months or longer since you last
changed your water filter, replace the water
filter with a new one. Poor quality household
water may require the filter to be changed
more frequently.
Ice maker/dispenser tips
• If your refrigerator is not connected to a
water supply or the water supply is turned
o, turn o the ice maker as described in
the previous section.
• 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.
• To avoid splashing, dispense ice into your
container before adding liquids.
• It is normal for ice to fill to the top of the
ice bin.
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.
Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular
intervals, especially prior to vacation or
moving.
1. Turn o the icemaker.
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. Do not place in
dishwasher. Rinse with clear water.
4. Allow the ice bin to dry completely before
placing it back into the freezer.
5. Place ice bin back into position. Turn the
ice maker on.
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 refreeze together after power is
restored, jamming the dispenser
mechanism.
• You do not use the ice dispenser
frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together
in the bin, jamming the dispenser
mechanism.
Removing Ice Bin
Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the
cubes or clean as explained above.
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar
sharp instrument to break up the ice.
This could damage the ice bin and
dispenser mechanism.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water.
Before replacing the ice bin, make sure
it is completely dry.
IMPORTANT
When removing or replacing the ice
bin, avoid rotating 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.
