The Dispenser Light 

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

Press LIGHT to toggle through the following choices in a 
continuous loop:

■

OFF (default) - The dispenser light is off

■

ON - The dispenser light is on at 100% brightness

■

DIM - The dispenser light is on at 50% brightness 

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 

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 levers. To turn off the ice 
maker, see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

■

To Lock/Unlock the dispenser, press and hold LIGHT for 
3 seconds. “Dispenser Locked” will appear on the display. 

Ice Maker and Ice Storage Bin 

(on some models)

IMPORTANT: To avoid low ice production and poor quality ice, 
flush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See 
“Water Dispenser.”

■

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the 
first three batches of ice produced. Allow 2 to 3 days for the 
storage bin to fill completely following installation.

■

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.

■

If the ice in the storage bin clumps together, break up ice 
using a plastic utensil and discard. Do not use anything sharp 
to break up the ice. This can cause damage to the ice bin and 
the dispenser mechanism.

■

Do not store anything in the ice storage bin.

Ice Production Rate

■

The ice maker should produce approximately 3 lbs (1.4 kg) of 
ice per day under normal operation.

■

To increase ice production, select the increased ice 
production feature from the Options menu on the control 
panel. See “Using the Control(s).”

Style 1 - Ice Maker in the Refrigerator 

(on some models)

The ice maker is located on the left-hand side of the refrigerator 
compartment ceiling. Ice cubes are ejected into the ice storage 
bin, located on the left-hand refrigerator door.

 

1. Push up on the latch on the left-hand side of the ice 

compartment to open the door. 

2. Turn on the ice maker by moving the switch to the (left) ON 

position. 

NOTES:

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