When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on. 

■

If you want the light to be on continuously, press LIGHT. The 
display screen indicates when the light is set to stay on. 

■

Press LIGHT again to turn the dispenser light off.

The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If it 
appears that your dispenser lights are not working, see “Problem 
Solver” for more information.

The Dispenser Lock 

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 controls and dispenser lever. 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. 

■

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.

■

To turn on the ice maker, lift open the 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.

1. Lift and hold open the ice maker door.

2. Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position. 

Release the ice maker door.

3. Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull it out. 

4. Replace the bin by pushing it in all the way, or the dispenser 

will not work. 

5. To restart ice production, lift open the ice maker door and 

push the wire shutoff arm down to the ON position.

The filter status light will help you know when to change your 
water filter. Depending on your model, the status light will appear 
as one of the following icons:       

■

The light will appear in yellow on the dispenser display screen 
when it is almost time to change the filter. 

■

It is recommended that you replace the filter when the status 
light changes to red OR water flow to your water dispenser or 
ice maker decreases noticeably. 

NOTE: The filter should be replaced at least every 6 months 
depending on your water quality and usage.

■

After changing the filter, reset the filter status light by pressing 
FILTER RESET. 

The status light will turn off when the system is reset.

1. Locate the water filter cover door in the base grille, and pull 

open the filter door. The filter will be released and then be 
ejected as the door is opened.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or 
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before 
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction 
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain 
filterable cysts.
