Important Facts About Your Dispenser

Do not add ice from trays or bags to the door ice maker
bucket. It may not crush or dispense.

Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow glasses.
Backed-up ice can jam the chute or cause the door in the
chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute remove the ice
bucket, poke it through with a wooden spoon.

Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the
door ice maker bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the
storage drawer may cause the ice maker or auger to jam.

To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass
close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.

Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you
selected CUBED ICE. This happens occasionally when a few
cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher.

After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the
chute.

Sometimes a small mound of snow will form on the door in the
ice chute. This condition is normal and usually occurs when you
have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly. The snow will eventually
evaporate.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first installed,
there may be air in the water line system. Press the dispenser
paddle for at least five minutes to remove trapped air from the
water line and to fill the water system. To flush out impurities in
the water line, throw away the first six full glasses of water.

To Use the Internal Water Dispenser*
The water dispenser is located on the
left wall inside the refrigerator compart-
ment.
To dispense water:
Hold the glass against the recess.
Push the water dispenser button.
Hold the glass underneath the
dispenser for 2–3 seconds after
releasing the dispenser button. Water
may continue to dispense after the

there may be air in the water line system. Press the dispenser
button for at least 5 minutes to remove trapped air from the

the dispenser noise may be loud as the air is purged from the
water line system. To flush out impurities in the water line,

cleaned periodically by wiping with a clean cloth or sponge.
