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, a special AUTO mode, or a lock option to avoid unintentional dispensing.

The Ice Dispenser

Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer. When the dispenser lever is pressed:

■A trap door opens in a chute between the dispenser and the ice bin. Ice moves from the bin and falls through the chute.

■When you release the dispenser lever, the trap door closes and the ice dispensing stops. The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open.

Some models dispense both cubed and crushed ice. Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer. The button controls are designed for easy use and cleaning.
