Ice & Chilled Water
Dkpemer
Automatic Icemaker and
Ice & Water
Dispemer
Your refrigerator has an automatic
icemaker and a dispenser that
dispenses chilled water and ice
cubes 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 reservoir 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 into the dispensing unit.
When you touch the CUBED pad
on front of freezer compartment
door, ice cubes
will
dispense through
chute in door when cradle is pressed.
When you touch the CRUSHED
pad,
baffle in housing channels
cubes through the crusher and
crushed ice falls through chute into
glass when cradle is pressed.
Chilled water from reservoir flows
through the
(6) tubing in the door and is
dispensed when the cradle is pressed.
(7)
A light switch
turns the night
light in the dispenser on or off
when the LIGHT pad is touched.
Important
Fac@
about
Your Ice &Water Dispenser
●
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 below and
on page
130
c
Avoid overfilling glasses with
ice and wing narrow or extra-till
glasses.
This can jam the chute or
cause the door in the chute to freeze
shut. 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 glass close to ice
chute—
but not so close that it blocks
outcoming ice.
●
Ice should not be
dispensed
into thin glasses,
fine
china or
delicate
crysti-they
can crack or
chip from the combined pressure of
your hand pressing them against the
cradle and ice dropping into the
container.
● Ice should be dispensed before
filling glass with soda or other
beverage mixes.
This will prevent
splashing which is annoying and
which, if
the splash reaches the ice
and water selector switch, could
cause it to stick or bind.
● Beverages and foods should not
be
quickwhilled
in the ice storage
bin.
Cans, bottles or food packages
in the storage bin may cause the
icemaker to malfunction.
● Ice other than that produced
by your icemaker should not be
added to the ice storage bin—it
may not crush or dispense
well.
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
OFF (up) position as shown
below.

“
When water supply has been
connected to icemaker, move feeler
arm to ON (down) position.
Depress water dispenser cradle for
about two minutes to remove
trapped air from water line and to
fill water reservoir automatically.
Ice cube mold automatically
fills
with water after cooling to freezing
temperatures. First cubes normally
freeze after several hours.
N~E:
With a newly-installed
refrigerator, allow about 24 hours
for the freezer compartment to cool
down to the proper
icemaking
temperature.
