Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained. This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser mechanism. If it appears that your dispenser lights are not working, see "Troubleshooting" for more information.

If you need to clean the condenser: Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille, the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area of the condenser. However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid buildup of odors. IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other.
