REFRIGERATORSAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:

• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

• Do not remove ground prong.

• Do not use an adapter.

• Do not use an extension cord.

• Disconnect power before servicing.

• Do not hit the refrigerator glass doors (on some models).

Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are

still dangerous - even if they will sit for "just a few days." If you
are getting rid of your old refrigerator t please follow these

instructions to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

• Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily

climb inside.

important information to know about disposal of

refrigerants:
Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local

regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed,
EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with

established procedures.

4

REFRIGERATOR USE

On some models, your refrigerator's accessory packet includes
an air filter, which must be installed prior to use. On some

models, the air filter is already installed at the factory.

The air filter reduces the buildup of odors. This helps to maintain
a cleaner environment inside the refrigerator.

Installing the Air Filter (on some models)

1. Place the indicator face-down on a firm, flat surface.

2. Apply pressure to the bubble on the back of the indicator,
until the bubble pops to activate the indicator.

3. Lift open the vented air filter door. There are notches behind
the door. Slide the indicator down into the notches, facing

outward.

NOTE: The indicator will not easily slide into the notches if
the rear bubble has not been popped.

4. Close the air filter door, and check that the indicator is
visible through the rectangular hole in the door.

Replacing the Air Filter

The disposable air filter should be replaced every 6 months,
when the status indicator has completely changed from white to

red.

To order a replacement air filter, see "Accessories."

1. Remove the old air filter by squeezing in on the side tabs.

2. Remove the old status indicator.

3. Install the new air filter and status indicator using the
instructions in the previous sections.

The filter should be installed behind the vented door, which is

located (depending on your model) along either the rear or left

interior wall near the top of the refrigerator com 3artment.

t t_

1. Remove the air filter from its packaging.

2. Lift open the vented door.

3. Snap the filter into place.

Installing the Filter Status Indicator (on some models)

The filter comes with a statusindicator, which should be
activated and installed at the same time the air filter is installed.

On some models, your refrigerator's accessory packet includes
a Produce Preserver, which should be installed prior to use. On

some models, the Produce Preserver is already installed at the
factory.

The Produce Preserver absorbs ethylene, allowing the ripening
process of many produce items to slow down. As a result, certain

produce items will stay fresh longer.

Installing the Produce Preserver (on some models)

CAUTION: IRRITANT

MAY IRRITATE EYES AND SKIN. DANGEROUS FUMES
FORM WHEN MIXED WITH OTHER PRODUCTS.

Do not mix with cleaning products containing ammonia,
bleach or acids. Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing. Do
not breathe dust. Keep out of reach of children.

FIRST AID TREATMENT: Contains potassium
permanganate. If swallowed, call a Poison Control Center or

doctor immediately. Do not induce vomiting. If in eyes, rinse
with water for 15 minutes. If on skin, rinse with water.

The Produce Preserver pouches should be installed in their
housing, which is located along an interior side wall of the

crisper or convertible drawer.

NOTE: For best performance, always use two pouches.

1. Remove the Produce Preserver pouches from their
packaging.

CAUTION CUIDADO
IRRITANT IRRITANTE

4. Place the indicator in the top of the housing, facing outward.

5. Slide the cap closed, and check that the indicator is visible
through the rectangular hole in the cap.

NOTE: The cap will not easily close if the indicator's rear
bubble has not been popped.

Replacing the Produce Preserver (on some models)

The disposable pouches should be replaced every 6 months,
when the status indicator has completely changed from white to

red.

To order replacements, see "Accessories."

1. Remove the old pouches from the Produce Preserver
housing.

2. Remove the old status indicator.

3. Install the new pouches and status indicator using the
instructions in the previous sections.

Single Evaporator (on some models)

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit air

to flow between the two sections. Cold air enters the bottom of
the freezer section and moves up. It then enters the refrigerator

section through the top vent. On Style 2 models, this air is also
evenly distributed throughout the refrigerator compartment

through six vents on the back wall. Air then returns to the freezer
as shown.

Style I Style 2

2. Lift up on the housing in order to remove it from its mounting
tab along the wall.

3. Open the housing by pulling up and out on the back of the
top of the housing.

4. Place both pouches inside the housing, then snap the housing
back together.

5. Place the housing back on the mounting tab along the wall.

Installing the Status Indicator (on some models)

The Produce Preserver comes with a status indicator, which
should be activated and installed at the same time the pouch is

installed.

1. Place the indicator face-down on a firm, flat surface.

2. Apply pressure to the bubble on the back of the indicator,
until the bubble pops to activate the indicator.

3. Slide open the cap on the Produce Preserver housing.

I

==

Do not block any of these vents with food such as soda, cereal,
bread, etc. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be obstructed

and temperature and moisture problems may occur.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any

odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor

transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

6

Dual Evaporator (on some models)

Some models come equipped with a dual sequential
evaporation system, which includes two separate evaporators

for the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
Dual evaporation results in higher humidity, which helps keep

foods in the refrigerator from spoiling as quickly and improves
food quality and freshness in the freezer due to decreased

freezer burn. In addition, the dual evaporation system helps
keep food smells in the refrigerator from transferring to ice in

the freezer.
Air circulates through vents within each compartment, and does

not transfer between the compartments.

Adjusting the Controls

For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are
preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator,

make sure that the controls are still set to the "mid-settings." The
factory recommended set points are 37°F (3°C) for the
refrigerator and O°F (-18°C) for the freezer.

IMPORTANT:

• Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If
you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely,

your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the set points to a colder than
recommended setting will not cool the compartments any

faster.

Do not block any of these vents with food such as soda, cereal,
bread, etc. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be obstructed
and temperature and moisture problems may occur.

NOTE: The dual evaporation system is always activated when
your refrigerator is operating. You do not need to press any

buttons to turn it on.

The refrigerator and freezer controls are located on the
dispenser panel.

IMPORTANT: The display screen on the dispenser control panel
will turn off automatically and enter "sleep" mode when the

control buttons and dispenser levers have not been used for
2 minutes or more. While in "sleep" mode, the first press of a

control button will only reactivate the display screen, without
changing any settings. After reactivation, changes to any

settings can then be made. If no changes are made within
2 minutes, the display will re-enter "sleep" mode.

• Touch any control button on the dispenser panel to activate
the display screen. The home screen will appear as shown.

If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator

or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not
blocked before adjusting the controls.

The preset settings should be correct for normal household
usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as

cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the

temperatures before other adjustments are made.

Dispensing Options

Your dispenser can dispense water and ice in two ways.

• The DISPENSE WATER button, located below the dispenser
control panel's display screen, dispenses only water.

• The dispenser lever is the pad located along the rear wall of
the dispenser cavity. When pressed, it dispenses either water

or ice, depending on the chosen setting.

To dispense both water and ice at the same time, select the
desired type of ice and dispense it using the dispenser lever,

then press the DISPENSE WATER button while still dispensing

ice.

2. Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser lever.

3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

To Dispense Water (Measured Fill):

Measured Fill allows you to dispense a specified amount of
water with the touch of a few buttons.

NOTE: The amount of water you select will be dispensed. Be
sure that the container is empty and can hold the entire volume.

If ice is in the container, you may need to adjust your selection.

IMPORTANT: Low water pressure may affect the accuracy of
this feature.

• 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 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 of

water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower
than recommended. See "Water Supply Requirements"

or "Troubleshooting" for suggestions.

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.

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

and 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.

• Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage
bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the

dispenser mechanism.

• Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or
storage bin.

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off:
The On/Off switch can only be accessed when the ice storage

bin has been removed. The switch is located on the freezer door,
on the left side of the wall that surrounds the ice storage bin.
See the following section for bin removal instructions.

The convertible vegetable/meat drawer can be adjusted to
properly chill meats or vegetables. The air inside the pan is
cooled to avoid "spot" freezing and can be set to keep meats at

the National Livestock and Meat Board recommended storage
temperatures of 28° to 32°F (-2° to 0°C).

IMPORTANT: Toextend freshness, wrap meats in airtight,
moisture-proof materials before storing. Always store meat as
recommended.

To change a control setting: Move the control to the right (less

cold) or to the left (colder) as desired.

ConvertibleControl

Meat/VegTemperature

To store vegetables: Set the control to VEG (all the way to the
right) to store vegetables at their optimal storage temperatures

(which need to be warmer than those for meat).
IMPORTANT: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the

right (less cold), toward the VEG setting. Remember to wait
24 hours between adjustments. Doing so gives the temperature

of the food time to change.

Meat Storage Guide

Store most meat in original wrapping as long as it is airtight
and moisture-proof. Rewrap if necessary. See the following

chart for storage times. When storing meat longer than the
times given, freeze the meat.

Frozen Food Storage Guide

Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of
food, the type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight

and moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. Ice crystals
inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that

moisture in the food and air inside the package have
condensed, creating ice crystals.

Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze
within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 Ibs of food per cubic foot

[907 to 1,350 g per 28 L] of freezer space). Leave enough space
in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be certain to

leave enough room for the door to close tightly.
For more information on preparing food for freezing, check a

freezer guide or reliable cookbook.

REFRIGERATORCARE

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both compartments about once a month to

avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
To Clean Your Refrigerator.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves,
crispers, etc.

3. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior

surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a
mild detergent in warm water.

• Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window

sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning
waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers

containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior
and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels,
scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can

scratch or damage materials.

• To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a

mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1qt
[26 g to 0.95 L] of water).

4. Determine whether your refrigerator exterior is painted
metal, Ultra SatinTM (stainless look) finish, brushed aluminum

or stainless steel, and choose the appropriate cleaning
method.

NOTE: Ultra Satin TM (stainless look) finish has a smooth,
uniform color with a glossy finish that resists fingerprints.

Stainless steel has a distinct grainy texture with variation in
color that is natural to steel.

Painted metal: Wash exteriors with a clean sponge or soft
cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use

abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners designed for stainless
steel. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Additionally, to avoid

damage to painted metal exteriors, apply appliance wax
(or auto paste wax) with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wax

plastic parts.
Brushed aluminum: Wash with a clean sponge or soft cloth

and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or
harsh cleaners, or cleaners designed for stainless steel. Dry

thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Ultra Satin TM (stainless look) finish: Wash with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do
not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners designed for

stainless steel. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Stainless steel finish: Wash with a clean sponge or soft cloth
and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or

harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

To keep your stainless steel refrigerator looking like new
and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that

you use the manufacturer's approved Stainless Steel
Cleaner and Polish. To order the cleaner, see
"Accessories."

IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only!

Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to

come into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim

pieces, dispenser covers or door gaskets. If unintentional

contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and

mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft

cloth.

5. If your model has a touch screen display on the dispenser
panel, clean the screen using a soft, lint-free cloth. Mix a

mild detergent with water, then use the mixture to dampen
the cloth and gently wipe the screen.

• To avoid unintentionally changing settings, make sure the

refrigerator is unplugged or the power is disconnected
before wiping the screen.

• Do not over-saturate the cloth. Do not spray or wipe

liquids directly onto the screen. Do not use abrasive or
harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring

cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, nail polish remover, bleaches

or cleansers containing petroleum products. Do not use

paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning

tools. These can scratch or damage materials.

6. There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal
home operating environments. If the environment is

particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic
in the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to
3 months to ensure maximum efficiency.

If you need to clean the condenser:

• Remove the base grille. See "Base Grille" graphic or

"Base Grille" section.

• Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the

grille, the open areas behind the grille and the front
surface area of the condenser.

• Replace the base grille when finished.

7.

Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed.
The interior lights are LEDs that cannot be changed.

15

Moving

If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door or
doors closed (depending on your model) to help food stay cold

and frozen.

If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the
following:

• Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.

Place 2 Ibs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic
foot (28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen
for 2 to 4 days.

If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or

can perishable food at once.

REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially
filled one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer

full of baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it
may be refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be

affected. If the condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.

Vacations

If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On
While You Are Away:

1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.

2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

• Raise wire shutoff arm to OFF (up) position or move the
switch to the OFF (right) setting.

• Shut off water supply to the ice maker.

3. Empty the ice bin.

When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home, follow
these steps to prepare it for the move.

1. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

• Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one
day ahead of time.

• Disconnect the water line from the back of the

refrigerator.

• When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff
arm to the OFF (up) position or move the switch to the

OFF (right) setting.

2. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen
food in dry ice.

3. Empty the ice bin.

4. Depending on the model, turn the Temperature Control or
Refrigerator Control to OFF. See "Using the Control(s)."

5. Unplug refrigerator.

6. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.

7. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape
them together so they don't shift and rattle during the move.

8. Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator
so it rolls more easily OR screw in the leveling legs so they

don't scrape the floor. See "Adjust the Doors."

9. Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the back
of the refrigerator.

When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer
to the "Installation Instructions" section for preparation

instructions. Also, if your refrigerator has an automatic ice
maker, remember to reconnect the water supply to the

refrigerator.

If You Choose to Turn the Refrigerator Off
Before You Leave:

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.

2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

• Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one
day ahead of time.

• When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff
arm to the OFF (up) position or move the switch to the
OFF (right) setting.

3.

Depending on the model, turn the Temperature Control or
Refrigerator Control to OFF. See "Using the Control(s)."

4.

Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.

5.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Try the solutions suggested here first before calling for assistance.

The refrigerator will not operate

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Is outlet working? Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is
working.

Household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Replace
the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues,

call an electrician.

• Are controls on? Make sure the refrigerator controls are on.
See "Using the Controls."

• New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for
the refrigerator to cool completely.

NOTE: Adjusting the temperature controls to coldest setting will
not cool either compartment more quickly.

The refrigerator is noisy

Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this
reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new

refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below
are listed some normal sounds with an explanation.

• Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice
maker

• Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize
performance

• Rattling - flow of refrigerant, water line, or from items
placed on top of the refrigerator

• Sizzling/Gurgling - water dripping on the heater during
defrost cycle

• Popping - contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially
during initial cool-down

• Water running - may be heard when ice melts during the
defrost cycle and water runs into the drain pan

• Creaking/Cracking - occurs as ice is being ejected from the
ice maker mold.

The doors will not close completely

Check the following:

• Are food packages blocking the door open?

• Are all bins and shelves pushed back into the correct
positions?

The doors are difficult to open

The motor seems to run too much

Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to
its high-efficiency compressor and fans. To maximize energy

efficiency, the compressor changes speed to provide just the
right amount of cooling as it is needed. Your refrigerator may
run as much as 100% of the time, but it will still use less energy

than an older refrigerator. You may notice that it runs more
often when the room is warm, a large amount of food is added

to either compartment, or the doors are opened often.

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Are the gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets with mild soap
and warm water.

Has the door been opened and closed within the last few
seconds? Wait at least 30 seconds to reopen the doors.

17

The ice cubes are hollow or small

Temperature is too worm

Check the following:

• Are the air vents blocked in either compartment?

• Are the door(s) opened often?

• Has a large amount of food just been added to the
refrigerator or freezer?

• Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions?

There is interior moisture buildup

NOTE: Some moisture is normal. Clean with a dry cloth.

• Are the air vents blocked in the refrigerator?

• Are the door(s) opened often?

• Is the room humid?

• Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions?

• Was an automatic self-defrost cycle completed?

Items in meat pan/crisper are freezing

The temperature inside the meat pan/crisper may become too
cold, especially when using some additional control panel

features. Adjust the meat pan control to the closed setting.

The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice

Is the ice maker wire shutoff arm or switch (depending on

models) in the OFF position?

Is the water line shutoff valve to the refrigerator turned on?

Has the ice maker just been installed? Is the freezer
temperature cold enough to produce ice? Wait 24 hours
after ice maker hookup for ice production to begin. Allow

3 days after ice production begins to completely fill ice
container.

Does the ice maker mold have water in it or has no ice been
produced? Make sure your refrigerator has been connected

to a water supply and the supply shutoff valve is turned on.

Has a large amount of ice just been removed? Allow
24 hours for ice maker to produce more ice.

Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The filter
may be clogged or installed incorrectly.

Is an ice cube jammed in the ice maker ejector arm?
For models with an interior ice bin, remove the ice from the

ejector arm with a plastic utensil.
Is a reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to

your cold water supply? See "Water Supply Requirements"
in the Installation Instructions.

This is an indication of low water pressure.
Check the following:

• Is the water shutoff valve fully open?

• Are there kinks in the water lines that could restrict water
flow?

If you are using a water filter, remove the filter and operate
the dispenser. If water flow increases, the filter is clogged or
incorrectly installed.

Is a reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to
your cold water supply? See "Water Supply Requirements"
in the Installation Instructions.

• If you still have questions regarding your water pressure, call

a licensed, qualified plumber.

Off-taste, odor or gray color in the ice

Check the following:

• Are the plumbing connections new, causing discolored or
off-flavored ice?

• Have the ice cubes been stored too long?

• Does the freezer and ice bin need to be cleaned?

• Has food in the freezer or refrigerator been wrapped
properly?

• Does the water contain minerals (such as sulfur)? A filter
may need to be installed to remove the minerals.

• Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? Gray or
dark discoloration in ice indicates that the water filtration

system needs additional flushing.

The ice dispenser will not operate properly

Check the following:

• Is the freezer door closed completely?

• Is the ice bin installed correctly?

• Is there ice in the bin?

• Has the ice frozen in the ice bin?

Is ice stuck in the delivery chute?

Ice clogged in the ice storage bin or delivery chute? Remove
clogged ice, using a plastic utensil if necessary. Clean chute

and bottom of storage bin using a warm moist cloth, and
dry both thoroughly. To avoid clogging and maintain a fresh

supply of ice, empty the storage bin and clean both the bin
and delivery chute every two weeks.

Has the wrong ice been added to the bin? Use only cubes
produced by the current ice maker.

Has the ice melted around the auger (metal spiral) in the ice
bin? Empty the ice container. Use warm water to melt the ice

if necessary.

18

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can resuR in cuts.

Is the ice dispenser stalling while dispensing "crushed" ice?
Change the ice button from "crushed" to "cubed." If cubed

ice dispenses correctly, depress the button for "crushed" ice
and begin dispensing again.

Has the dispenser lever been held in too long? Ice will stop
dispensing when the arm is held in too long. Wait 3 minutes

for dispenser motor to reset before using again.
