ice maker/dispenser tips
•If your refrigerator is not connected to a water
supply or the water supply is turned off, turn off
the ice maker by holding the On/Off soft-touch
icon and the water shut-off valve for three (3)
seconds.
• The following sounds are normal when the ice
maker is operating:
- Motor running
- Ice dropping into ice bin
- Water valve opening or closing
- Running water
When dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping
or clicking sound when the ice chute opens and
closes.
If you need a large quantity of ice at one time, it is
best to get cubes directly from the ice bin.
Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd
flavor. Empty the ice bin as explained below.
When dispensing cubed ice, it is normal to have a
small quantity of little pieces along with the whole
cubes.
Remove and empty the ice bin if:
An extended power failure (one hour or longer)
causes ice cubes in the ice 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 bin and shake to loosen the cubes or
clean as explained above.
