Automatic icemaker & Ice/Water
Dispenser
How It Works
Your refrigerator
has
an automatic
icemaker and a
dispenser that
dispenses water, ice
cubes and crushed
ice (on some
models) through
the freezer
compartment
door. Here's
how they work..
Water flows from
the household
supply through
a
(1) dual solenoid valve to the
(2) water tubing and to the
(3) automatic icemaker as needed_
Water
is frozen
in the
(4) cube mold and ejected into the
(5) storage bin where a motor_powered auger moves
cubes forward
Cubes dispense through the chute in the door when the
dispenser pad is pressed.
When CRUSHED is selected (on some models), a baffle
channels cubes through the crusher and crushed ice falls
through a chute into the glass.
Water
flows through
the
(6) tubing in the door and is dispensed when the pad is
pressed..
(7) A light switch (on some models) turns the night light in
the dispenser on or offo The light also comes on when the
dispenser pad is pressed..
The light in the dispenser shoufd be replaced with a
7 watt maximum bulb when it burns ouL
Important Facts about Your Ice & Water
Dispenser
• If this is your first icemaker
you'll
hear occasional
sounds that may be unfamiliar.
These are normal
icemaking sounds and are not cause for concern,
• Your icemaker
will produce
eight 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 in
this section.
• Avoid
over filling glasses with ice and using
narrow
or extra4all
glasses. This can jam the chute
or cause the door in the chute to freeze shuL
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 bits of ice from being sprayed
beyond
the glass, place the glass close to the ice
chute-but
not so close that it blocks out coming ice
• Beverages
and foods should not be quicbchilled
in
the ice storage
bim Cans, bottles or food packages in
the storage bin may cause the icemaker or auger to jam
" Do not add ice from trays or bags to the storage
bin. tt may not crush or dispense welt.
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 STOP
(up) position.. When the water supply
has been connected to the icemaker,
move the feeler arm to ON (down) position

At first there will be a delay before water is dispensed
and ice is made
On mode& with a water dispenser, if no
water is dispensed when the refrigerator
is first installed, there may be air in the
water line system. Pressthe dispenser
pad for at least two minutes to remove
trapped air from the water Iine and to
fill the water system.
Push the dispenser pad
until the water line is filled
The ice cube mold will automatically fill with water AFTER
cooling to freezer temperatures The first cubes normaffy
freeze after several hours,
NOTE: With a newly-installed refrigerator, allow about
24 hours for the freezer compartment to get cold enough to
make ice_
