In-Door Ice Bin
Before Using the In-Door Ice Bin
The icemaker stops producing ice when the in-
door ice bin is full. To make room for additional ice,
empty the ice bin into another location in the
freezer compartment. During use, the ice may
or ice outlet
frequently
a
b
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
inside it can reduce this problem.
CAUTION
• Keep hands and tools out of the in-door ice bin
and dispenser chute. Failure to do so may result
in damage or personal injury.
• 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.
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/Assembling the In-Door
Ice Bin
CAUTION
• Only qualified service personnel from an LG
Electronics service center should disassemble or
repair the icemaker.
• When handling the ice bin, keep hands away
from the icemaker tray area to avoid personal
injury.
