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.

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

  • Hold and remove the cover of the automatic icemaker by lifting it upward.

  • Hold the ice bin with both hands and pull it out while lifting it upward.

  • 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 a tool. Otherwise, appliance damage or injury may occur.

  • 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.
