AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER  
cause the ice maker to cycle two or three times before making  
a full tray of ice. With no usage, it will take approximately two  
days to fill the ice container.  
HOW TO PRIME THE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM  
Your refrigerator’s water supply system includes several  
tubing lines, a water filter, a water valve and a water tank. To  
ensure that your water dispenser works properly, this  
system must be completely filled with water when your  
refrigerator is first connected to the household water  
supply line and whenever you replace the water filter.  
Because of new plumbing connections, the first production of  
ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor. Discard  
ice made during the first 24 hours.  
TURNING YOUR SIDE MOUNTED ICE MAKER ON/OFF  
To begin ice production, lower the wire signal arm to the  
DOWN or ON position. The ice maker turns off automatically  
when the ice container becomes full. To stop the ice maker,  
raise the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the UP or  
OFF position (see Figure 1).  
CAUTION  
For proper dispenser operation, recommended water  
supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi.  
Excessive pressure may cause water filter to  
malfunction.  
TURNING YOUR REAR MOUNTED ICE MAKER ON/OFF  
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s ON/OFF power  
switch. To gain access to the ice maker, pull the ice cream  
shelf out. Press the switch to the “O” position to turn it Off and  
press it to the “I” position to turn it On (see Figure 2). The ice  
maker also has a built-in wire signal arm, which automatically  
stops ice production when the ice bin is full. DO NOT use this  
signal arm to manually stop the ice maker.  
TO PRIME THE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM:  
Begin filling the tank by pressing and holding a drinking  
glass against the water dispenser paddle.  
Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of  
the dispenser. There will be noticeable spurts and  
sputters as the system pushes air out through the  
system and dispenser nozzle. This is normal. This may  
take about 1½ minutes.  
OR  
Continue dispensing water for about 3 minutes to flush  
the system of any air and impurities. Empty glass as  
needed.

NOTE  
Wire  
Signal Arm  
The water dispenser has a built-in device that shuts off the  
water flow after 3 minutes of continuous use. To reset this  
shutoff device, simply release the dispenser paddle.  
HOW THE ICE MAKER WORKS  
Figure 2  
Figure 1  
CAUTION  
Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage  
the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft  
water, ensure that the softener is maintained and  
working properly.  
IMPORTANT  
Small Ice cubes or ice chips jamming in the ice maker may  
be a sign that your water filter needs changing. If you have  
a side mounted ice maker you may also experience hollow  
cubes — partially frozen cubes with water inside. When  
these cubes are harvested they break open and spill water  
over the other ice cubes in the ice container, forming a solid  
mass of ice. As the water filter nears the end of its useful  
life and becomes clogged with particles, less water is  
delivered to the ice maker during each cycle. The ice maker  
can’t fill every cube in the ice maker mold, leading to small  
cubes or chips that can get caught between the ice ejector  
blades and the stripper. Remember, if your ice maker is  
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.  
IMPORTANT  
Your ice maker is shipped from the factory with the wire  
signal arm in the ON position (side mounted) or with the  
switch turned ON (rear mounted). To ensure proper function  
of your ice maker, hook up water supply immediately or  
turn ice maker OFF by lifting the wire signal arm until it  
clicks and locks in the UP position (side mounted) or turn  
the On/Off switch to the Off (O) position. If the ice maker is  
not turned off and the water supply is not connected,  
the water valve will make a loud chattering noise.  
The ice maker and container are located in the top of the  
freezer compartment. After the refrigerator is installed properly  
and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can begin  
making ice within 24 hours. Air in new plumbing lines may

supports the ice container.  
ICE PRODUCTION: WHAT TO EXPECT  
How Much Ice Will a Side Mounted Ice Maker  
Produce in 24 Hours?  
Replace the ice container. Resume ice production on  
side-mounted ice makers by lowering the wire signal  
arm to the DOWN position. Resume ice production on  
rear-mounted ice makers by pressing the ice maker’s  
On/Off power switch to the On (I) position.  
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.  
WARNING  
Do not use the ice chute as a handle when removing or  
replacing the ice storage bin. Surfaces there may be  
sharp. Do not put fingers up ice chute. Surfaces there  
may be sharp.  
ICE AND WATER DISPENSER FEATURES  
The ice and water dispenser conveniently dispenses chilled  
water, and ice cubes or crushed ice, depending on the model.  
To operate the ice dispenser, select the ice option desired  
using the touchpad. Press a glass against the dispensing  
paddle as far up as possible to catch all ice. To stop  
dispensing ice, pull glass away from dispensing paddle. Do  
not remove the glass until the ice has completely dispensed.  
Complete instructions for the dispenser operation are attached  
to the inside of the freezer door (some models).  
ICE DISPENSER TIPS  
CAUTION  
IMPORTANT  
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.  
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 90º turns until the ice  
bin fits 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.  
Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor.  
Empty the ice container and ensure that the ice maker is  
on (see previous page). The ice maker will then produce  
more ice.  
Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice  
separated.  
An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes  
ice cubes in the ice storage bin to melt and freeze  
together and jam the dispenser mechanism.  
The ice dispenser is not used frequently. Ice cubes will  
freeze together in the bin and jam the dispenser  
mechanism. Remove the ice storage bin and shake to  
loosen the cubes.  
If a large quantity of ice is needed at one time, it is best  
to remove cubes directly from the ice container.  
Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during  
vacations.  
If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of  
time, turn the water supply valve to a closed position.  
CAUTION  
CLEANING THE ICE DISPENSER  
Clean the ice dispenser and ice container at regular intervals,  
particularly before you take a vacation or move, or if the ice  
dispenser sticks.  
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to  
break up the ice.This could damage the ice storage bin  
and dispenser mechanism.  
Stop ice production on side-mounted ice maker by  
raising wire signal arm to the UP position. Stop ice  
production on rear-mounted ice makers by pressing the  
ice maker’s On/Off power switch to the Off (O) position.  
Remove ice container by lifting up and out. Empty and  
carefully clean the container with mild detergent. Rinse  
with clear water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.  
Allow ice container to dry completely before replacing in  
the freezer.

is not possible, a section of cabinetry or an added layer of  
insulation between the two appliances will help the  
refrigerator operate more efficiently.  
Level the refrigerator so that the doors close tightly.  
Refer to this Use & Care Manual for the suggested  
temperature control settings.  
Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents.  
Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use  
more energy.  
Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them  
in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up  
inside the unit.  
Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings.  
Remove as many items as needed at one time and close  
the door as soon as possible.  
Fruits and Vegetables  
Storage in the crisper drawers traps moisture to help  
preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer time  
periods.  
Meat  
Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely so  
leakage and contamination of other foods or surfaces  
does not occur.  
Frozen Food Storage  
The freezer compartment should be kept at 0° F or lower.  
A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least 2/3  
full.  
Packaging Foods for Freezing  
To minimize dehydration and quality deterioration, use  
aluminum foil, freezer wrap, freezer bags or airtight  
containers. Force as much air out of the packages as  
possible and seal them tightly. Trapped air can cause food  
to dry out, change color, and develop an off-flavor (freezer  
burn).  
Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer wrap  
prior to freezing.  
Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.  
Loading the Freezer  
Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at one  
time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of freezing,  
and can raise the temperature of frozen foods.  
Leave a space between the packages, so cold air can  
circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as  
possible.  
Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods such as ice cream and  
orange juice on the freezer door shelves. These foods are  
best stored in the freezer interior where the temperature  
varies less.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS & SIGHTS  
A. Evaporator  
UNDERSTANDING THE SOUNDSYOU MAY HEAR  
The flow of refrigerant through the evaporator may  
create a boiling or gurgling sound.  
Your new high-efficiency refrigerator may make unfamiliar  
sounds. These are all normal sounds and soon will become  
familiar to you. They also indicate your refrigerator is operating  
as designed. Hard surfaces, such as vinyl or wood floors, walls,  
and kitchen cabinets may make sounds more noticeable. Listed  
below are descriptions of some of the most common sounds  
you may hear, and what is causing them.  
B. Evaporator Fan  
You may hear air being forced through the refrigerator  
by the evaporator fan.  
C. Defrost Heater  
During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost  
heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After  
defrosting, a popping sound may occur.  
NOTE  
Rigid foam insulation is very energy efficient, but is not a  
sound insulator.
