Set Temperature Controls
YOUR
REFWGEMTOR
Your refrigerator has two
controls that let you regulate the
temperature in the fresh food and
freezer compartments.
They have settings from 1 through
9, and are located at the top of the
fresh food compartment.
The freezer control also has
an OFF setting.

IMPORTANT: When first

to get cold.
NOTE: Turning the freezer control to the OFF
position stops cooling in BOTH compartments—

power to the refrigerator.

controls. or
Power Saver Switch
The power saver switch is located
on the temperature control panel.
To reduce the amount of electricity required
to operate your refrigerator, push switch to
POWER SAVER setting.
This turns off the heater in your refrigerator that
prevents moisture from forming on the outside of the
refrigerator.
With the heater turned off, there is a chance that
moisture may form on the outside of your refrigerator,
especially when the weather is humid.
The humidity is most likely to be high in the summer,
in the early morning hours, and in homes which are
not air conditioned.
No Defrosting
It is not necessary to defrost the freezer or fresh food
compartments. Although your refrigerator is designed
and equipped to defrost itself automatically, some
frost on packages is normal.
Over an extended period of time, moisture that forms
on the refrigerator surface may cause deterioration of
the paint finish. It will be important to protect the
finish by using appliance polish wax as described in
the Care and Cleaning section.
Move the power saver switch from the POWER
SAVER setting and electricity flows through the low
wattage heater which warms the outside of the
refrigerator. Under most conditions, this prevents the
forming of moisture or water droplets.

WATER DISPENSER
Automatic
Some models have an automatic icemaker and a
dispenser that dispenses chilled water, ice cubes and
crashed ice through the freezer compartment door.
Here’s how they work.
Water flows from the
household supply
through a
(1) dual solenoid valve
to the
(2) water reservoir and
to the

and Ice & Chilled Water Dispenser
Water is frozen in the
(4) cube mold and ejected into the
(5) storage bin where a motor-powered auger moves
cubes forward into the dispensing unit. Cubes or
crushed ice, as selected, dispense through chute in
door when cradle is pressed.
When the switch is moved to CRUSHED, the baffle
in housing channels cubes through the crusher and
crushed ice falls through chute into glass.
Chilled water from reservoir flows through the
(6) tubing in the door and is dispensed when the
cradle is pressed.
(7) A light switch turns the night light in the
dispenser on and off.

When Dispensing Ice...
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even
though you selected CUBED. This happens
occasionally when a few cubes accidentally get
channeled to the crusher.
Sometimes a 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.
To Stop Dispensing

If Ice Clumps Form in Storage Bin...
The icemaker ejects cubes in groups of eight, and it
is normal for several cubes to be joined together.
However, infrequent usage of ice can cause iceclumps to form in the storage bin, resulting in
temporary malfunction of the dispenser mechanism.
To Remove Ice Cube Storage Bin
Lift the left corner to free the bin from the shelf,
and pull the bin straight out while supporting it at
front and back.
If this happens:
● Remove storage bin from freezer compartment.
● Break up ice clumps with fingertip pressure and
discard remaining clumps.
● Replace bin before remaining cubes melt and fuse
together.
