Certain sounds may accompany thevarious cycles ofthe ice maker. Examplesare: (1)
the motor may havea slighthum, (2)thecubeswillrattle asthey fallintoan emptystorage
bin, and (3) the water valve may click or "buzz" occasionally. All of these sounds are
normal and should be ignored.

thisicemaker. Icefromanyothersourcecouldcauseanicejam. Ifthis happens,remove
and discard all ice from the storage bin and any ice lodged in the ice chute.
