Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular
intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.
1 Turn off the ice maker.
2 Remove the ice bin by pulling straight out.
3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin
with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or
abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clear water.
4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before
replacing in the freezer.
5 Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker on.
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 refreeze together after power
is restored, 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.
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp
instrument to break up the ice. This
could damage the ice bin.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water.
Before replacing the ice bin, make sure it
is completely dry.

IMPORTANT
When removing or replacing the ice bin,
avoid rotating the auger in the ice bin. If
the auger is accidentally rotated, you must
realign the auger by turning it in 45 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 not dispense
ice. The fresh food door also may not close
properly causing warm air to leak into the
fresh food compartment.
