The Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
■ Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a
fresh supply.
■ 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 (237 mL) 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
“Problem Solver” for suggestions.
To Dispense Water:
1. Press the WATER button to select water.
2. Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser lever. Hold the
glass close to the water dispenser spout to ensure that the
water dispenses into the glass.
3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
IMPORTANT: The small tray at the bottom of the dispenser is
designed to catch small spills and allow for easy cleaning. There
is no drain in the tray. To empty and clean the tray, push down on
the back of the removable tray lid and pull it out.
The Ice Dispenser
Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when
the dispenser lever is pressed. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice
Maker and Storage Bin.”
Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. Before
dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer.
■ Press the CRUSHED button for crushed ice, or the CUBED
button for cubed ice.
For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This
may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise
from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size.
When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed
ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.
To Dispense Ice:
1. Press the button to select the desired type of ice.
2. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold the
glass close to the ice guide to ensure that the ice dispenses
into the glass.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to
the lever in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard
will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
The Dispenser Light
On some models, the dispenser light will automatically turn on
when you use the dispenser.
■ If you want the light to be on continuously, press the
LIGHT ON button. To turn the light back off, press the
LIGHT OFF button.
The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If it
appears that your dispenser lights are not working, see “Problem
Solver” for more information.
