Maytag MSB26C6MDE Manuale Proprietario

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. 

ON: Press LIGHT to turn the dispenser light on. “On” will appear 
on the display screen.

DIM: Press LIGHT a second time to select DIM mode. “Dim” will 
appear on the display screen. The dispenser light will remain on, 
but at a lower intensity.

OFF: Press LIGHT a third time 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 pad. To turn off the ice 
maker, see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

■

Press and hold LIGHT for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser.  
“Dispenser Locked” will appear on the display screen.

■

Press and hold LIGHT a second time to unlock the dispenser.

■

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.

The On/Off switch can only be accessed when the ice storage bin 
has been removed. The switch is located on the freezer door, on 
the left side of the wall that surrounds the ice storage bin. See the 
following section for bin removal instructions.   

■

To turn on the ice maker, slide the control to the ON (left) 
position.

■

To manually turn off the ice maker, slide the control to the 
OFF (right) position.

NOTE: The ice maker has an automatic shutoff to keep the 
storage bin from overfilling during normal operation. The ice 
maker sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the 
control will remain in the ON (left) position.

1. Press down the release lever and tilt the bucket outward. Use 

both hands to hold the base of the storage bin, then lift it up 
and out. 

NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the ice maker control to the 
OFF (right) position when removing the storage bin. The 
sensor cover (“flipper door”), located on the right wall of the 
freezer door, stops the ice maker from producing ice if the 
door is open or the storage bin is removed.      

2. Replace the bin by sliding it onto the door, then tilting it back 

into an upright position. The release lever will click when the 
bin is securely in place.

■

To turn ON the ice maker, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.

■

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: The ice maker has an automatic shutoff to keep the 
storage bin from overfilling during normal operation. 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.
