Important Facts About Your Dispenser
Do not add ice from trays or bags to the storage bin. It may not crush or dispense well.
Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow glasses.
Beverages and foods should not be
To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected Cubed. This happens occasionally when a few cubes have been left in the crusher.
After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the chute.
Sometimes a small mound of snow will form on the door in the ice chute. This condition is normal and usually occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly. The snow will eventually evaporate.
The first glass of water dispensed may be warmer than the following ones. This is normal.
Dispensed water is not ice cold. For colder water, simply add crushed ice or cubes before dispensing water.
About the automatic icemaker.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale, and shrink.
Icemaker Accessory Kit
If your refrigerator did not come already equipped with an automatic icemaker, an icemaker accessory kit is available at extra cost. Check the back of the refrigerator for the specific icemaker kit needed for your model.
