Ice Storage Bin
To remove:
Lift up the access door to reach the
icemaker. Set the icemaker power switch
to the O (off) position. With the access
door closed, support the storage bin at
the bottom while slightly lifting. Pull bin
straight out.
To replace:
Slide the bin back until the tab on
the bin locks into the slot on the shelf.
If the bin does not go all the way back,
remove it and rotate the drive mechanism
1/4 turn. Then push the bin back again.
Important facts about your
ice and water dispenser
■ Do not add ice from trays or bags to the
storage bin. It may not crush or dispense
well.
■ Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of
narrow or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up ice
can jam the chute or cause the door in the
chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the
chute, poke it through with a wooden
spoon.
■ Beverages and foods should not be
quick-chilled in the ice storage bin.
Cans, bottles or food packages in the
storage bin may cause the icemaker
or auger to jam.
■ To keep dispensed ice from missing
the glass, put the glass close to, but not
touching, the dispenser opening.
■ Some crushed ice may be dispensed
even though you selected CUBED. This
happens occasionally when a few cubes
accidentally get directed to the crusher.
■ After crushed ice is dispensed, some water
may drip from the chute.
■ The first glass of water dispensed may
be warmer than the following ones.
This is normal.
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Automatic Icemaker
A newly-installed refrigerator may take
12–24 hours to begin making ice.
The icemaker will produce seven cubes per
cycle—approximately 15 cycles or more in
a 24-hour period, depending on freezer
compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of door openings
and other use conditions.
If the refrigerator is operated before
the water connection is made to the
icemaker, set the power switch to O (off).
When the refrigerator has been connected
to the water supply, set the power switch
to I (on). The green light will come on.
Throw away the first full bucket of ice.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep
of the feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler
arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined
together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will
become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.
After the icemaker has been turned on again,
there will be a delay of about 45 minutes
before the icemaker resumes operations.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average
water pressure, you may hear the icemaker
water valve cycle on several times when
making one batch of ice. Recommended
water pressure is 60 psi.
