Removing/Refitting the Ice Bucket

The ice dispensing chute may become blocked with frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove the frost that accumulates by removing the ice bucket and clearing the passage with a rubber spatula. Dispensing cubed ice periodically can also help prevent frost buildup.

  • Turn off the automatic icemaker. Press and hold the Ice On/Off button on the control panel for 3 seconds.

  • Gently pull the handle to open the ice compartment.

  • To remove the in-door ice bucket, grip the front handle, slightly lift the lower part, and slowly pull out the ice bucket as shown.

  • Refit the in-door ice bucket in the reverse sequence of their removal.

Caution
  • Do not touch the automatic icemaker’s mechanical parts with your hand or any mechanical implement. Doing so may cause serious injury or damage to the appliance.

  • Do not disassemble, repair or alter the automatic icemaker. These tasks should only be done by a service technician.

  • Caution should be taken, as the automatic icemaker operates continuously after the freezer door is opened when the automatic icemaker is set to ON.

  • Keep children away from the dispenser.

  • When refitting the ice bucket, ensure that it is placed correctly. If it is tilted or unlevel, it may not continue to make ice due to sensor disruption.
