KitchenAid 2209477 manual Removing the ice maker storage bin

Removing the ice maker storage bin

Depending on the model, the ice maker storage bin holds the following amounts of ice:

36" - 8.5 pounds (3.9 kg)

42" - 13.5 pounds (6.1 kg)

48" - 17.6 pounds (8.0 kg)

Remove and discard unused ice periodically to reduce the potential for off-taste or odor buildup in ice. The storage bin can be removed for cleaning or to dispense large amounts of ice at one time.

Note: On models without ice and cold water dispenser, the storage bin cannot be removed full of ice if the freezer door stop is set to a 90° opening.

To remove:

1.Pull the ice maker cover panel out from the bottom and slide it to the rear.

2.Lift the ice maker wire arm until you feel it click into the “OFF” position.

For dispenser models only: While the ice maker is “OFF,” no more ice can be produced, but ice can still be dispensed when the freezer door is closed.

3.Lift the front of the storage bin, then pull it out.

4.Empty the storage bin. Use hot or warm water to melt ice if necessary. Never use anything sharp to break up ice in the storage bin. This can damage the storage bin and the dispenser mechanism.

To replace:

1.Push storage bin in all the way.

2.Lower the ice maker wire arm down to the “ON” position to restart ice maker.

3.Lower the ice maker cover panel.
