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.

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. 

NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to 

break up the ice. This could damage the ice storage bin 

and dispenser mechanism.

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. 

 •  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.

Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, 

particularly before you take a vacation or move.

  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.

 •  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.
