20 Automatic Ice & Water Maker/Dispenser
Ice maker/dispenser tips
• If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply
or the water supply is turned off, turn off the ice
maker by holding the On/Off soft-touch icon for three
(3) seconds.
• 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
• When dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping or
clicking sound when the ice chute opens and closes.
• 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.
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 off the ice maker.
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. Rinse with clear water.
4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before replacing in
the freezer.
5 Replace the ice bin. 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 freeze together,
jamming the dispenser mechanism.
• You do not use the ice dispenser frequently. Ice
cubes will freeze together in the bin, jamming the
dispenser mechanism.
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.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water. Before
replacing the ice bin, make sure it is completely dry.
Adjusting Ice Bin Auger
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 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.
