Ice Compartment
CAUTION
• Keep hands and tools out of the ice
compartment door and dispenser chute. Failure
to do so may result in damage or personal
injury.
Keep the ice compartment door closed tightly. If
the ice compartment door is not closed tightly, the
cold air in the ice bin will freeze food in the
refrigerator compartment. This could also cause
the icemaker to stop producing ice.
In-Door Ice Bin
The icemaker stops producing ice when the indoor
ice bin is full. To make room for additional ice,
empty the ice bin into the extra ice bin in the
freezer compartment. During use, the ice may
stack unevenly in the bin, causing the icemaker to
misread the number of ice cubes and stop
producing ice. Shaking the ice bin to level the ice
within it can reduce this problem.
CAUTION
• When handling the ice bin, keep hands away
from the icemaker tray area to avoid personal
injury.
• Storing cans or other items in the ice bin will
damage the icemaker.
• Never use thin crystal glasses or containers to
collect ice. Such containers may chip or break
resulting in glass fragments in the ice.
If the icemaker is turned OFF for an extended
period of time, the ice compartment will gradually
warm up to the temperature of the refrigerator
compartment. To prevent ice cubes from melting
and leaking from the dispenser, ALWAYS empty
the ice bin when the icemaker is turned OFF for
more than a few hours.
The ice passage 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 can also help prevent frost buildup.
Detaching the In-Door Ice Bin
1
Gently pull the handle to open the ice
compartment.
2
To remove the in-door ice bin, grip the front
handle, slightly lift the lower part, and slowly
pull out the bin as shown.
CAUTION
• Only qualified service personnel from LG
Electronics service center should disassemble or
repair the icemaker.
Assembling the In-Door Ice Bin
1
Carefully insert the in-door ice bin, slanting
the top slightly to fit it under the icemaker.
2
Gently push the handle to close the ice
compartment.
CAUTION
• When handling the ice bin, keep hands away
from the icemaker tray area to avoid personal
injury.
• Avoid touching the auto shutoff (feeler arm)
when replacing the ice bin. See the label on the
ice compartment door for details.
