Troubleshooting guide

6. Dispense ice by holding glass against ice lever arm. The mechanically operated ice chute door
opens, and the motor driven helix is energized and ice is automatically dispensed into glass.
When glass is withdrawn, a delay mechanism slowly closes the ice chute door.
7. Sometimes a mound of “snow” will form on the door and/or ice chute. This condition is normal and
usually occurs with the repeated dispensing of crushed ice. “Snow” will eventually evaporate or
moisture can be wiped dry.
8. If the dispenser bar is held for long periods, the dispenser motor shuts off automatically after 2 to
3 minutes to prevent overload. The motor resets automatically after 3 minutes and ice dispensing
can continue.
9. Use only ice from internal automatic ice maker. Do not add purchased ice cubes or cubes made
in any other manner. Dispenser operates only with cubes of proper size and shape.
10. Allow 12 hours after installation before first harvest of ice. Time required depends on freezer
temperature and amounts of food in freezer and refrigerator compartments.
11. The storage bin fills in three to four days depending on frequency of use. Two to 4 pounds of ice
will be made in a 24-hour period with a 0°F to 2°F freezer food temperature.
12. To temporarily meet demands for increased ice production, turn freezer control to colder setting.
Return freezer control to normal setting as soon as possible.
Water dispenser operates as follows:
1. The reservoir is located in the refrigerator section directly behind the crisper drawers. The reservoir
inlet tube comes from a solenoid valve mounted on the rear cabinet rail.
2. The reservoir holds approximately 40 ounces of water.
3. The outlet tube exits through the refrigerator floor and travels through a conduit foamed into the
cabinet bottom to a location just short of the freezer door bottom hinge. 5/16 inch tube is reduced
to 1/4 inch by means of a coupling. The tube enters the freezer door through the center of the
hinge pin and runs up the left flange of the door and crosses over the top of the cavity behind the
water dispensing lever.
(Fig. 9) NOTE: The first glass of water will be somewhat warmer than
following glasses, since the water tube leading to the dispenser from the water reservoir is not
refrigerated.
4. The reservoir is filled by holding a glass against water the lever arm until water flows into a glass.
5. If household plumbing has been disturbed, thoroughly flush the water system. This will help
remove foreign materials in the water and also flush plumbing in refrigerator.
To avoid risk of personal Injury or property damage, refrigerator must be
unplugged and ice storage bin must be removed before attempting to service
dispenser system. Never put fingers, hands, or foreign objects Into Ice dispenser
opening while attempting to manually clear stalls or jams. Never use sharp
objects to break Ice. In case of stall or jam in cube or crushed mode, dispense in
opposite mode several times. There may be a delay when switching between
cube and crushed ice. This is normal. It takes a few seconds for cubes to be
moved from storage bin.
