Dispenser will not	• Water supply is not connected.
dispense ice.	• Ice storage container is empty.

•Connect water supply (see page 9).

•When the first supply of ice is dropped into the container, the dispenser should operate.

•Freezer temperature is set too warm.

•Household water line valve is not open.

•Turn freezer control to a higher setting so that ice cubes will be made. When first supply of ice is made, dispenser should operate.

•Open household water line valve. Allow sufficient time for the ice to be made. When ice is made, the dispenser should operate.

•Freezer door is not closed.

•Ice dispensing arm has been held in for more than 4-5 minutes.

•Ensure freezer door is closed.

•Motor is overloaded. Motor overload protector will reset in approximately 3 minutes. Ice can then be dispensed.

	power outages.

•Remove ice container, thaw, and empty the contents. Clean container, wipe dry, and replace in proper position. When new ice is made, dispenser should operate.

•Ice cubes are jammed between ice maker and back of ice container.

•Ice cubes are frozen together.

•Ice cubes are hollow or smaller than normal.

•Remove ice cubes that are jamming the dispenser.

•Use the dispenser often so that cubes do not freeze together.
