Solving common ice maker/dispenser problems
PROBLEM
Ice crescents attached at corners
Ice maker will not operate or ice is not made fast enough
Ice dispenser will not work
Ice dispenser stops working
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
l This is normal. They break apart easily. Shake bin occasionally to keep cubes separated.
l ON/OFF lever is in the OFF (up) position. Lower lever to the ON (down) position.
l Freezer is not cold enough. Adjust temperature controls and wait 24 hours. (See “Changing the control settings” on page 7.)
l New plumbing connections can cause discolored or off- flavored ice. Discard the first few batches of ice.
l Cubes are stored too long. Throw them away and make a new supply.
l Food is not wrapped properly. See page 27.
l Freezer and ice bin need to be cleaned. See page 23.
l Water may contain minerals (such as sulfur). A filter may be required to remove them.
l Freezer door is open.
l Ice bin not properly installed. Make sure the bin is pushed in all the way.
l Wrong ice in bin. Only use crescents from the ice maker. Shake the bin occasionally to separate cubes and increase storage room.
l Dispenser not used for extended periods of time, causing ice cubes to melt together. Dump old ice and make a new supply.
l Ice dispenser bar held in too long. Wait about 3 minutes for dispenser motor to reset.
l Large amounts of ice should be taken from the bin, not through the dispenser.
