Automatic Ice & Water Maker/Dispenser
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 by pressing the On/Off 
switch. 
 •  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 ice production by pressing the ice 
maker’s
Off/On switch.
 
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. Press the ice maker’s
Off/On switch 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.
       
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. 
       
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. 
       
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.
