Servicing The Ice Dispenser

Certain conditions witt require you to service the ice maker and dispenser.

The unit has been designed so that you can do such servicing with a minimum of effort.

You should remove the bin and empty the contents:

This will allow any impurities in the line to be flushed out,

If you are going to be gone for longer than a week_ Raise the ice maker

shut-off arm to stop ice production and prevent the cubes from freezing into a mass around the ice auger.

if the ice cubes become frozen to each other and around the ice auger,

If the ice cubes become frozen

together on the back ledge of the ice bin, Periodic cleaning of the ice bin may alleviate this occurrence_ Clean with warm water and dry before replacing bin. Do not use an ice pick to break apart ice,
