The Ice Dispenser (on some models)

IMPORTANT:

If the ice cubes are hollow or have an irregular shape, it could be because of low water pressure. See the "Water Supply Requirements" section.
■ Ice travels from the ice storage bin through the dispenser chute to the dispenser. To turn off the ice maker, see the "Ice Maker and Storage Bin" section.
■ The dispenser may continue to make noise and ice may continue to dispense for several seconds after releasing the dispenser button or paddle.

To Clean the Ice Dispenser Chute:

Humidity causes ice to naturally clump together. Ice particles can build up until the ice dispenser chute becomes blocked.

If ice is not dispensed regularly, it may be necessary to empty the ice storage bin and clean the ice delivery chute, the ice storage bin, and the area beneath the storage bin every 2 weeks.

If necessary, remove the ice clogging the storage bin and delivery chute using a plastic utensil.
■ Clean the ice delivery chute and the bottom of the ice storage bin using a warm, damp cloth, and then dry thoroughly.

To Dispense Ice - Paddle Dispensing

1. Select the desired type of ice by pressing CUBED ICE or CRUSHED ICE.

WARNING

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

1. Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser paddle. 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 paddle to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

1. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for several seconds after removing the glass from the dispenser paddle. The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.

The Dispenser Light (on some models)

Water Supply Requirements

A cold water supply with water pressure between 20 psi and 145 psi (138 kPa and 1,000 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, the flow of water from the water dispenser could decrease or ice cubes could be hollow or irregular shaped.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system and supplying the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 20 psi and 145 psi (138 kPa and 1,000 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your home cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 psi to 60 psi (276 kPa to 414 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

■ Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
- Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy use. The tank capacity could be too small to keep up with the requirements of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Faucet-mounted reverse osmosis systems are not recommended.
If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See the "Filters And Accessories" section.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Connect the Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

■ Connect to a potable water supply only.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

■ Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.
■ Copper and PEX tubing connections from the household water line to the refrigerator are acceptable and will help avoid off-taste or odor in your ice or water. Check for leaks.
If PEX tubing is used instead of copper, we recommend the following Part Numbers: W10505928 (7 ft [2.14 m] jacketed PEX), 8212547 (5 ft [1.52 m] PEX), or W10267701 (25 ft [7.62 m] PEX).
■ Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.

Tools Needed:

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

■ Flat-blade screwdriver
■ 7/16" and 1/2" open-end wrenches or 2 adjustable wrenches

B. Ice dispenser paddle

Flush the Water System

Air in the water dispensing system can cause the water dispenser to drip. After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system.

Flushing the water dispensing system forces air from the water line and filter and prepares the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households.

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

1. Using a sturdy container, depress and hold the water dispenser paddle for 5 seconds.
2. Release the dispenser paddle for 5 seconds. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until water begins to flow.
3. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gallons (12 L) has been dispensed.

Dispensing

Touch CUBED or CRUSHED for your ice selection.

NOTES:

For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being 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.

The Water Dispenser

IMPORTANT:

Dispense at least 1 qt. (1 L) of water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

If the flow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be caused by low water pressure.

■ With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of water. If 1 cup of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less, the water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum requirement.
If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than recommended. See "Water Supply Requirements" and online "Troubleshooting" for more information.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin (on some models)

IMPORTANT: To avoid low ice production and poor quality ice, flush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See the "Water Dispenser" section.

■ Following installation, allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first 3 batches of ice produced. Allow 2 to 3 days to fill the ice storage bin.
The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained.
If the ice in the storage bin clumps together, break up ice using a plastic utensil and discard. Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice. This can cause damage to the ice bin and the dispenser mechanism.
■ Do not store anything in the ice storage bin.
■ Ice maker kits shall be installed only by the manufacturer or it's service technicians.

Style 1 - Ice Maker in the Refrigerator (on some models)

The ice maker is located on the left door behind the bins. Ice cubes are ejected into the ice storage bin located on the left-hand refrigerator door.
