Ice & Chilled Water

Dispemer

Automatic Icemaker and
Ice
&
Water Dispenser
Your refrigerator has an automatic
icemaker and a dispenser that
dispenses chilled water and ice
cubes through the freezer
compartment door. Here’s how
they work.
Water flows from household supply
through dual solenoid valve (1) to
water reservoir (2) and to automatic
icemaker (3) as needed.
Water is frozen in cube mold (4)
and ejected into storage bin (5)
where a motor-powered auger moves
cubes forward to dispensing unit.
When you set the selector switch on
front of freezer compartment door
to ICE CUBES, cubes will dispense
through chute in door when cradle
is pressed.
When the switch is moved to
CHILLED WATER, water from
reservoir flows through tubing in
door (6) and is dispensed when
cradle is pressed.
Light switch (7) turns night light*
in the dispenser on or off.

Facts about
Your Ice & Water Dispenser
●
Your icemaker will produce
e~t
cubes per
cycle—approximately
120 cubes 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 brief, ice clump(s) may
be the cause and
should
be removed
following instructions
below
and
on page 8.
●
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 help keep
bi~
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, fine 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 dispense well.
Before Using Your
Icemaker and Dispenser
If you use your refrigerator before
the water connection is made, raise
the ice access door and make sure
the icemaker feeler arm is in the
OFF (up) position as shown below.

When water supply has been
connected to icemaker, 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.
N~E:
With a newly-installed
refrigerator, allow about 24 hours
for the freezer compartment to cool
down to the proper ice-making
temperature.
