The Ice Dispenser
Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when 
the dispenser pad is pressed. The dispensing system will not 
operate when the freezer door is open. To turn off the ice maker, 
see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”
Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. Before 
dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by pressing 
the ICE button, which is the second button from the left on the 
dispenser panel. 
The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected.
For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This 
may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise 
from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size. 
When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed 
ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.
To Dispense Ice:
1. Press the button to select the desired type of ice.
2. Hold a sturdy glass close to the dispenser opening so ice 
does not fall outside of the glass. Press the glass against the 
ice dispenser pad, or if necessary, use your index finger or 
other hand to press the pad while keeping the glass close to 
the dispenser opening. 
IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to 
the pad in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard 
will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
NOTE: You can dispense both ice and water at the same 
time. While using the dispenser pad to dispense ice, press 
the WATER dispenser button to also dispense water. 
Releasing the WATER dispenser button while still pressing 
the dispenser pad will not affect ice dispensing. 
3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for up to 10 seconds 
after removing the glass from the pad. The dispenser may 
continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.
The Dispenser Light (on some models)
When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on. 
If you want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either 
ON or DIM. The display screen indicates which mode is selected. 
ON: Press LIGHT to turn on the dispenser light. 
DIM: Press LIGHT a second time to select DIM mode. The 
dispenser light will remain on, but at a lower intensity.
OFF: Press LIGHT a third time to turn off the dispenser light.
The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If it 
appears that your dispenser lights are not working, see 
“Troubleshooting” for more information.
The Dispenser Lock (on some models)
The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid 
unintentional dispensing by small children and pets. 
NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the 
refrigerator, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply 
deactivates the dispenser controls and pad. To turn off the ice 
maker, see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”
Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser. 
Press and hold LOCK a second time to unlock the dispenser.
The display screen indicates when the dispenser is locked. 
Ice Maker and Storage Bin
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
To turn on the ice maker, lift open the translucent ice maker 
door and lower the wire shutoff arm to the ON position.
To manually turn off the ice maker, lift the wire shutoff arm to 
the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click. Ice can still 
be dispensed, but no more can be made.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made, 
the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin, and the ice cubes will 
raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not 
force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
REMEMBER:
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the 
first three batches of ice produced.
The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of 
the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the 
ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener 
chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker 
and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot 
be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating 
properly and is well maintained.
Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage 
bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the 
dispenser mechanism.
Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage 
bin.
