Automatic Ice & Water Maker/Dispenser

IMPORTANT

When removing or replacing the ice bin, 

DO NOT rotate the auger in the ice bin. 

If the auger is accidentally rotated, you 

must realign the auger by turning it in 90 

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 

only dispense Crushed Ice. The freezer 

door may also not close properly causing 

warm air to leak into the freezer.

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.

Auger

Cleaning the ice maker

Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular 

intervals, particularly before you take a 

vacation or move.

To clean the ice maker:

  1  Turn off ice production by pressing the 

ice maker’s 

Off/On

 switch.

  2  Remove the ice bin by lifting up and out.
  3  Empty and carefully clean the ice bin 

with mild detergent. Rinse with clear 

water. Do not use harsh or abrasive 

cleaners.

  4  Allow the ice bin to dry completely before 

replacing in the freezer.

  5  Remove ice chips and clean the ice bin 

shelf and the freezer door chute.

  6  Replace the ice bin. Press the ice 

maker’s 

Off/On

 switch to resume ice 

production.

Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:

• 

An extended power failure (one hour 

or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice 

storage 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 storage bin and shake to 

loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.
