Ice & Chilled Water Dispenser

Automatic Icemaker and Ice & Water Dispenser

Your refrigerator has an automatic icemaker and a custom dispenser that dispenses chilled water. ice cubes and crushed ice through the freezer compartment door. Here’s how they work.

Water flows from the household supply through a

(1)dual solenoid valve to the

(2)water reservoir and to the

(3)automatic icemaker as needed.

Water is frozen in the

(4)cube mold and ejected into the

(5)storage bin where a motor- powered auger moves cubes forward into the dispensing unit.

When you touch the CUBES pad on front of freezer compartment door. ice cubes will dispense through chute in door when cradle is pressed.

When you touch the CRUSHED pad, baffle in housing channels

cubes through the crusher and crushed ice falls through chute into glass when cradle is pressed.

Chilled water from reservoir flows through the

(6)tubing in the door and is dispensed when the cradle is pressed.

(7)A light switch turns the night light in the dispenser on or off when the LIGHT pad is touched.

Important Facts about YourIce & WaterDispenser

●Youricemaker will produce eight cubes per cycle-approximately 120cubes in a 24-hour period— depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions.

●Intermittent dispensing of ice is normal. If ice flow interruption is more than b~ef, ice clump(s) may be the cause and should be removed following instmctions below and on page 13.

●Avoid overfilling glasses with ice and using narrow or extra-tall glasses. This can jam the chute or cause the door in the chute to freeze shut. Periodically open the freezer compartment door and look down into the chute. If ice is blocking the chute, poke it through with

a wooden spoon.

●To heip keep bits of ice from being sprayed beyond the glass, place glass close to ice chute— but not so close that it blocks outcoming ice.

●Ice should not be dispensed into thin glasses, fme china or delicate crystal-they can crack or chip from the combined pressure of your hand pressing them against the cradle and ice dropping into

the container.

●Ice should be dispensed before filling glass with soda or other beverage mixes. This will prevent splashing which is annoying and which, if the splash reaches the ice and water selector switch, could cause it to stick or bind.

●Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the ice storage bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage bin may cause the icemaker to malfunction.

●Ice other than that produced by your icemaker should not be added to the ice storage bin—it may not crush or dispense well.

When water supply has been connected to ice-maker. move feeler arm to ON (down) position.

Depress water dispenser cradle for about two minutes to remove trapped air from the water line and to fill water reservoir automatically.

Ice cube mold automatically fills with water after cooling to freezing temperatures. First cubes normally freeze after several hours.

NOTE: With a newly-installed refrigerator. allow about 24 hours for the freezer compartment to cool down to the proper ice-making temperature.
