To remove: 
Set the icemaker power switch to the O (off)

position. Pull the drawer straight out and

then lift past the stop position.
To replace: 
When replacing the drawer, make sure to

push it firmly into place. If it does not go all

the way back, remove it and rotate the drive

mechanism 1/4 turn. Then push the

drawer back again.

■

Do not add ice from trays or bags to 

the storage bin. It may not crush or

dispense well.

■

Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use 

of narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam

the chute or cause the door in the chute

to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute,

poke it through with a wooden spoon.

■

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 

or auger to jam.

■

To keep dispensed ice from missing 

the glass, put the glass close to, but 

not touching, the dispenser opening.

■

Some crushed ice may be dispensed even

though you selected CUBED ICE. This

happens occasionally when a few cubes

have been left in the crusher.

■

After crushed ice is dispensed, some

water may drip from the chute.

■

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.

Select CUBED ICE        , CRUSHED ICE        
or WATER        (on some models).
Press the glass gently against the top of the

dispenser cradle.
The spill shelf is not self-draining. To

reduce water spotting, the shelf and its 

grille should be cleaned regularly. 

If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is
first installed, there may be air in the water line
system. Press the dispenser arm for at least two
minutes to remove trapped air from the water line
and to fill the water system. To flush out impurities
in the water line, throw away the first six glassfuls
of water.

CAUTION: Never put fingers or any other 
objects into the ice crusher discharge opening.

Dispenser Light
This pad turns the night light in the

dispenser on and off. The light also comes

on when the dispenser cradle is pressed. 

If this light burns out, it should be replaced

with a 6 watt maximum, 12 volt DC bulb.
