Removing/Refitting the Ice Storage Bin

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

  • Gently pull the handle to open the ice compartment.

  • To turn off the automatic icemaker, set the icemaker switch to OFF ( O ).

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

  • Refit the in-door ice bin 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 switch is set to the ON position.

  • Keep children away from the dispenser.

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