To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.
Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can
jam the chute or cause the
GRRULQWKHFKXWHWRIUHH]HVKXW,ILFHLVEORFNLQJWKH chute remove the ice bucket, poke
it through with a wooden spoon.
Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the door ice maker bin.
Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage drawer may cause the ice maker
or auger to jam.
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBED ICE. This
happens occasionally when a few cubes accidentally get directed to the
crusher.
After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the chute.
Sometimes a small 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 Use the Internal Water Dispenser*
The water dispenser is located on the left wall inside the refrigerator
compartment. To dispense water:
Hold the glass against the recess. Push the water dispenser button. Hold the
glass underneath the dispenser for 23 seconds after releasing the dispenser
button. Water may continue to dispense after the button is released.

ice production decreases, the water filter should be replaced, even though the
filter indicator may not indicate the need for replacement.
The refrigerator must be connected to water, and the ice maker must be turned

The water dispenser tank located inside the refrigerator stores water for
dispensing. The water in this tank requires 24 hours to chill after
installation. High usage conditions will not allow time for the water to
