Ice maker/dispenser tips

26Automatic Ice & Water Maker/Dispenser

IMPORTANT

Small ice cubes or ice chips jamming in the ice maker may be a sign that your water filter needs changing. If you have a side mounted ice maker you may also experience hollow cubes

--partially frozen cubes with water inside. When these cubes are harvested they break open and spill water over the other ice cubes in the ice container, forming a solid mass of ice. As the water filter nears the end of its useful life and becomes clogged with particles, less water is delivered to the ice maker during each cycle.

The ice maker can’t fill every cube in the ice maker mold, leading to small cubes or chips that can get caught between the ice ejector blades and the stripper. Remember, if your ice maker is jamming with small ice cubes or it’s been six months or longer since you last changed your water filter -- replace the water filter with a new one. Poor quality household water may require the filter to be changed more frequently.

•Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container as explained below.

•Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated.

•If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the water supply is turned off, turn off the ice maker by pressing the On/Off switch.

•If you need a large quantity of ice at one time, it is best to get cubes directly from the ice container.

•The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:

-Motor running

-Ice dropping into ice container

-Water valve opening or closing

-Ice loosening from tray

-Running water

•When dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping or clicking sound when the ice chute opens and closes.

•Turn off the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during vacations.

-If you turn off the ice maker for a long period of time, you should also turn off the water supply valve.

CAUTION

Chemicals from a malfunctioning water softener can damage the ice maker. If the water supply to your refrigerator is softened, be sure the softener is maintained to work properly.

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:

1Turn off ice production by pressing the ice maker’s Off/On switch.

2Remove the ice bin by lifting up and out.

3Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with mild detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.

4Allow the ice bin to dry completely before replacing in the freezer.

5Remove ice chips and clean the ice bin shelf and the freezer door chute.

6Replace 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.
