AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER (CONTINUED)
CAUTION
Chemicals from a malfunctioning water softener 
can damage the ice maker. If the water supply to 
your refrigerator is softened, be sure the softener is 
maintained to work properly. 
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to 
break up the ice. This could damage the ice storage bin 
and dispenser mechanism.
IMPORTANT
When removing or replacing the ice bin, DO NOT rotate 
the auger in the ice bin. If the auger is accidentally 
rotated, you must realign the auger by turning it in 90 
degree turns (see below) until the ice bin fits into place
with the drive mechanism. If the auger is not properly 
aligned when replacing the ice bin, the refrigerator will 
only dispense Crushed Ice. The freezer door may also not 
close properly causing warm air to leak into the freezer. 
IMPORTANT
Small ice cubes or ice chips jamming in the ice maker may 
be a sign that your water filter needs changing. If you
have a side mounted ice maker you may also experience 
hollow cubes partially frozen cubes with water inside. When 
these cubes are harvested, they break open and spill water 
over the other ice cubes in the ice container, forming a 
solid mass of ice. As the water filter nears the end of its
useful life and becomes clogged with particles, less water is 
delivered to the ice maker during each cycle. The ice maker 
can’t fill every cube in the ice maker mold, leading to small
cubes or chips that can get caught between the ice ejector 
blades and the stripper.  Remember, if your ice maker is 
jamming with small ice cubes or it’s been six months or 
longer since you last changed your water filter replace the
water filter with a new one. Poor quality household water
may require the filter to be changed more frequently.
Ice Maker/Dispenser Tips
 •  Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd
flavor. Empty the ice container as explained below.
 •  Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice
separated.
 •  If your refrigerator is not connected to a water
supply or the water supply is turned off, turn Off 
the ice maker. 
 •  If you need a large quantity of ice at one time, it is
best to get cubes directly from the ice container.
 •  The following sounds are normal when the ice
maker is operating:
 
-  Motor running    
 
 
 
-  Ice dropping into ice container   
 
-  Water valve opening or closing
 
-  Ice loosening from tray
 
-  Running water
 •  When dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping
or clicking sound when the ice chute opens and 
closes.  
 •  Turn Off the ice maker when cleaning the freezer 
and during vacations.
 
-  If you turn Off the ice maker for a long period of 
time, you should also turn off the water supply 
valve.
Cleaning the Ice Maker 
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, 
particularly before you take a vacation or move.
To clean the ice maker:
  1 Turn Off the ice maker.
  2  Remove the ice bin by lifting up and out. 
  3  Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with mild 
detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do not use harsh 
or abrasive cleaners.
  4  Allow the ice bin to dry completely before replacing 
in the freezer.
  5  Remove ice chips and clean the ice bin shelf and 
the freezer door chute.
  6  Replace the ice bin. Turn On the ice maker to 
resume ice production.
Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:
 •  An extended power failure (one hour or longer)
causes ice cubes in the ice storage bin to melt and 
freeze together, jamming the dispenser mechanism.
 •  You do not use the ice dispenser frequently. Ice
cubes will freeze together in the bin, jamming the 
dispenser mechanism. 
Remove the ice storage bin and shake to loosen the 
cubes or clean as explained above.
