ice and water dispenser  17

tips and information

•   Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavour. 

Remove the ice container and discard the ice cubes. 

When replacing the tray, ensure that the wire signal 

arm (see diagram bottom left) sits within the ice cube 

container. The ice maker will then start producing ice.

•   Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated.
•   After you take delivery of the refrigerator, keep the ice 

maker switch in the “OFF” position until the refrigerator 

is connected to the water supply. The switch should also 

be kept in the “OFF” position whenever the water supply 

is turned off.

caution

If the dispensing paddle is pushed for more than  

4 minutes, the dispenser motor may overload and 

stop. The overload protector will reset automatically 

after 3 or 4 minutes.

•   If a large quantity of ice is needed at one time, it is best 

to remove cubes directly from the ice cube container

•   When the ice maker is operating, it is normal to hear  

the sound of:

  – the motor running.
  – ice dropping into the ice container.
  – the water valve opening or closing.
  – ice loosening in the tray.
  – running water.

Cleaning the ice dispenser

Clean the dispenser and ice container at regular intervals, 

particularly before you take a vacation or move, also clean 

the dispenser if it sticks.
To clean the dispenser: 
1.  Switch the ice maker switch to the “OFF” position.
2.  Remove the ice container by lifting it up and  

out. Empty and carefully clean the container with  

mild detergent. Rinse carefully ensuring no traces  

of detergent remain. Do not use harsh or abrasive  

cleaners. Allow the ice container to dry completely  

before replacing it in the freezer.

3.  Remove ice chips from the shelf and chute that support 

the ice container; clean these areas.

4.  Replace the ice container. Ensure the wire arm sits within 

the ice cube container. (see diagram below)

5.  Turn the ice maker switch back to the “ON” position.

warning

Do not use the ice chute as a handle when removing or 

replacing the ice storage bin. Do not put fingers up ice 

chute. Surfaces there may be sharp.

caution

When removing or replacing the ice bin do not rotate the 

auger in the ice bin. If the 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

auger

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 and freeze 

together and jam the dispenser mechanism.

2.  If the ice dispenser is not used frequently, ice cubes 

will freeze together in the bin and jam the dispenser 

mechanism. If this happens remove the ice storage bin 

and shake it to loosen the cubes.

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.
