WARNING

Automatic Ice and
Water Dispenser

(continued)

Ice 

Dispenser 

Tips

1. Ice 

cubes 

stored 

too 

long 

may 

develop 

an 

odd 

flavor. 

 

Empty 

the 

container

and 

return 

it 

to 

the 

proper 

position. 

 

Ice 

maker 

will 

then 

produce 

more 

ice.

2. Occasionally 

shake 

container 

to 

keep 

ice 

separated.

3. If 

dispensing 

arm 

is 

pushed 

in 

for 

more 

than 

minutes, 

the 

dispenser 

motor 

may

overload 

and 

stop. 

The 

overload 

protector 

will 

reset 

automatically 

after 

or 

4

minutes. 

If 

large 

quantity 

of 

ice 

is 

needed 

at 

one 

time, 

it 

is 

best 

to 

remove 

cubes

directly 

from 

ice 

storage 

bin.

4. Certain 

sounds 

are 

normal 

when 

the 

ice 

maker 

is 

operating. 

They 

are:

• 

 

Motor 

operation

• 

 

Ice 

being 

loosened 

from 

the 

tray

• 

 

Ice 

dropping 

into 

the 

storage 

bin

•  Running water

• 

 

Water 

valve 

opening 

or 

closing

For 

more 

information 

on 

these 

operations, 

see 

Normal 

Operating 

Sounds 

Section.

5. Stop 

the 

ice 

maker 

when 

cleaning 

the 

freezer, 

or 

for 

long 

vacations.

6. If 

the 

ice 

maker 

is 

to 

be 

turned 

off 

for 

long 

period 

of 

time, 

turn 

water 

supply

valve 

to 

the 

closed 

position.

Cleaning the 

Ice 

Dispenser

Clean 

the 

dispenser 

and 

ice 

storage 

bin 

at 

regular 

intervals, 

particularly 

before 

you

take 

vacation, 

move, 

or 

if 

ice 

dispenser 

sticks.

1. Stop 

ice 

production 

by 

lifting 

the 

wire 

signal 

arm 

to 

the 

"up" 

or 

OFF 

position.

2. Remove 

ice 

storage 

bin 

by 

lifting 

up 

and 

out. 

Empty 

and 

carefully 

clean 

bin 

with

mild 

detergent. 

Do 

not 

submerge 

auger 

while 

cleaning. 

Rinse 

with 

clear 

water.

Do 

not 

use 

harsh 

or 

abrasive 

cleaners. 

 

Allow 

ice 

bin 

to 

dry 

completely 

before

replacing 

in 

the 

freezer.

3. Remove 

ice 

chips, 

and 

clean 

the 

shelf 

and 

chute 

that 

supports 

the 

ice 

storage 

bin.

4. Replace 

ice 

storage 

bin. 

Lower 

the 

wire 

signal 

arm 

on 

the 

ice 

maker 

to 

the

"down" 

or 

ON 

position. 

 

Ice 

maker 

will 

resume 

production.

IMPORTANT: 

 

When 

removing 

or 

replacing 

ice 

bin, 

do 

not 

rotate 

the 

auger 

in 

the

ice 

bin. 

 

If 

auger 

is 

accidentally 

turned, 

you 

must 

realign 

the 

auger 

by 

turning 

it 

in

90° 

turns, 

until 

the 

ice 

bin 

fits 

into 

place 

with 

the 

drive 

mechanism. 

For 

further

instruction, 

see 

label 

on 

ice 

bucket.

Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:

1. An 

extended 

power 

failure 

(one 

hour 

or 

longer) 

causes 

ice 

cubes 

in 

the 

ice 

storage

bin 

to 

melt, 

freeze 

together, 

and 

jam 

the 

dispenser 

mechanism.

2. The 

ice 

dispenser 

is 

not 

used 

frequently. 

Ice 

cubes 

will 

freeze 

together 

in 

the 

bin

and 

jam 

dispenser 

mechanism. 

Remove 

ice 

storage 

bin, 

and 

shake 

to 

loosen

cubes.

NEVER 

use 

an 

ice 

pick 

or 

similar 

sharp 

instrument 

to 

break 

up 

ice. 

This 

could 

damage

the 

ice 

storage 

bin 

and 

dispenser 

mechanism.
