32 OPERATION
Cleaning the Dispenser Tray
Wipe the entire area with a damp cloth. The 
dispenser tray may become wet easily due to 
spilled ice or water.
Ice Compartment
• 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 an 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.
• 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
• Only qualified service personnel from an LG 
Electronics service center should disassemble or 
repair the icemaker.
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 bottom, and slowly pull 
out the bin as shown.
Assembling the In-Door Ice Bin
• 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.
