To Dispense Water:
1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever.
2. Remove the sturdy glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Water may have an off-flavor if you do not use the
dispenser periodically. Dispense enough water every week to
maintain a fresh supply.
Ice Dispenser
Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer. When
the dispenser lever is pressed:
A trap door opens in a chute between the dispenser and the
ice bin. Ice moves from the bin and falls through the chute.
When you release the dispenser lever, the trap door closes
and the ice dispensing stops. The dispensing system will not
operate when the freezer door is open.
Some models dispense both cubed and crushed ice. Before
dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer. The button
controls are designed for easy use and cleaning.
For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before they are dispensed.
This may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice.
Noise from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary
in size. When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of
crushed ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.
To Dispense Ice:
1. If the ice storage bin is located on the door, remove the
temporary shield from underneath the ice storage bin. See
“Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”
2. Press the button for the desired type of ice.
3. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold the
glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall
outside of the glass.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to
the lever in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard
will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
4. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: The first few batches of ice may have an off-flavor
from new plumbing and parts. Throw the ice away. Also, take
large amounts of ice from the ice bin, not through the
dispenser.
Dispenser Light
Style 1
The dispenser area has a light. It can be turned on manually by
pressing the ON button (touchpad or rocker switch).
On some models: Whenever you use the dispenser, the lever will
automatically turn the light on.
NOTE: See “Changing the Light Bulbs” for information on
changing the dispenser light bulb.
Style 2
When you use the dispenser, the lever will automatically turn the
light on. If you want the light to be on continuously, you may
choose either ON or NIGHT LIGHT.
ON: Press the LIGHT button to turn the dispenser light on.
NIGHT LIGHT: Press the LIGHT button a second time to select
the Night Light mode. The dispenser light will automatically
adjust to become brighter as the room brightens, dimmer as the
room darkens.
OFF: Press the LIGHT button a third time to turn the dispenser
light off.
The dispenser lights are LEDs which should not need to be
changed. If it appears that your dispenser lights are not working,
check to be sure that the light sensor is not blocked (in Night
