The Dispenser Light 

When you use the dispenser, the lights will automatically turn on. If you 

want the lights to be on continuously, you may choose either ON or 

DIM. If you want only the dispenser pad lighting to be on continuously, 

choose PADS. The display screen indicates which mode is selected. 

ON: Press LIGHT to turn all of the dispenser lights on. 
DIM: Press LIGHT a second time to select DIM mode. All of the 

dispenser lights will remain on, but at a lower intensity.
PADS: Press LIGHT a third time to select PADS mode. The dispenser 

pad lights will remain on at full intensity, but the main dispenser lighting 

will turn off.
OFF: Press LIGHT a fourth time to turn all of the dispenser lights off.
The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If it appears 

that your dispenser lights are not working, see “Troubleshooting” or 

“Problem Solver” for more information.

The Dispenser Lock 

The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid 

unintentional dispensing by small children and pets. 
NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the refrigerator, to 

the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the 

controls and dispenser pads. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice Maker 

and Storage Bin.”

Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds 

to lock the dispenser. 
Press and hold LOCK a second time 

to unlock the dispenser.

The display screen indicates when the 

dispenser is locked. 

Ice Maker and Storage Bin

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first 

three batches of ice produced.
The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the 

water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker to 

a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) 

can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a 

softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water 

softener is operating properly and is well maintained.
Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage bin. 

This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser 

mechanism.
Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage bin.

LOCKED

UNLOCKED

The On/Off switch, located on the left wall of the freezer door,

can only be accessed when the ice storage bin has been removed. 

See the following section for bin removal instructions.

ON

OFF

To turn on the ice maker, flip the switch to the ON (up) position.
To manually turn off the ice maker, flip the switch to the OFF 

(down) position.

NOTE: The ice maker has an automatic shutoff to keep the storage 

bin from overfilling during normal operation. As ice is made, the ice 

cubes will fill the ice storage bin, and the ice cubes will raise the 

shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. When the storage bin is 

at full capacity, the ice maker will automatically stop ice production, 
but the ice maker On/Off switch will remain in the ON (up) position.

 

2. 

Replace the bin by sliding it onto the door then tilting it back 

into an upright position. The release lever will click when the bin 
is securely in place.

    hands to hold the base of the storage bin, then lift it up and out.

NOTE: 

It is not necessary to flip the ice maker On/Off switch to 

the OFF (down) position when removing the storage bin. The 
storage bin sensor, located on the right wall of the freezer door, 
stops the ice maker from producing ice if the door is open or 
the storage bin is removed.
