ICE PRODUCTION: WHAT TO EXPECT
How Much Ice Will a Side Mounted Ice Maker Produce in 24
Hours?
Asidemountedicemakerwillproduce4to4.5poundsofice
every24hours,dependingonusageconditions.Iceisproduced
atarateof8cubesevery75to90minutes.
How Much Ice Will a Rear Mounted Ice Maker Produce in 24
Hours?
Arearmountedicemakerwillproduce3to4poundsofice
every24hours,dependingonusageconditions.Iceisproduced
atarateof8cubesevery75to90minutes.

jamming with small ice cubes or it’s been six months
or longer since you last changed your water filter –
replace the water filter with a new one. Poor quality
household water may require the filter to be changed
more frequently.
CAUTION
If the dispensing paddle is pushed for more than four
minutes, the dispenser motor may overload and stop.
The overload protector will reset automatically after
three or four minutes.
WARNING
Do not use the ice chute as a handle when removing or
replacing the ice storage bin. Do not put fingers up ice
chute. Surfaces there may be sharp.
IMPORTANT
Whenremovingorreplacingtheicebin,DONOTrotate
theaugerintheicebin.Iftheaugerisaccidentallyrotated,
youmustrealigntheaugerbyturningitin90°turnsuntil
theicebintsintoplacewiththedrivemechanism.If the
auger is not properlyalignedwhenreplacingtheicebin,
therefrigeratorwillonlydispenseCrushedIce.Thefreezer
doormayalsonotcloseproperlycausingwarmairtoleak
intothefreezer.
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to
break up the ice. This could damage the ice storage bin
and dispenser mechanism.
