Water and Ice Dispensers
(on some models)
Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the
following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed ice, a
special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a lock
option to avoid unintentional dispensing.
IMPORTANT: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or
replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy
container to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for
5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins
to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and
releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a
total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed. This will flush air from the
filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for
use. Additional flushing may be required in some households. As air
is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.
The Water Dispenser
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.
IMPORTANT: Depending on your model, the small removable tray
at the bottom of the dispenser is designed to catch small spills and
allow for easy cleaning. There is no drain in the tray. The tray can
be removed from the dispenser and carried to the sink to be
emptied or cleaned.
To Dispense Water:
1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Water may have an off-flavor if you do not use the
dispenser periodically. Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every
week to maintain a fresh supply.
The Ice Dispenser
Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when
the dispenser lever is pressed. The dispensing system will not
operate when the freezer door is open. To turn off the ice maker,
see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”
Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. Before
dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by pressing the
ICE button.
The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected.
For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This
may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise from
the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size. When
changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed ice will
be dispensed along with the first cubes.
To Dispense Ice:
1. Press the button to select the desired type of ice.
2. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold the
glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall outside
of the glass.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the
lever in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will
not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for several seconds after
removing the glass from the lever. The dispenser may continue
to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.
The Dispenser Light (on some models)
When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on.
If you want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either
ON or HALF. The display screen indicates which mode is selected
when the feature is active.
ON: Press LIGHT to turn the dispenser light on.
HALF: Press LIGHT a second time to select HALF mode. The
dispenser light will remain on, but at a lower intensity.
OFF: Press LIGHT a third time to turn the dispenser light off.
The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If it appears
that your dispenser lights are not working, see “Troubleshooting” for
more information.
