AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER
External Dispenser - Refrigerator Ice Maker
Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular
intervals, especially prior to vacation or
moving.
Removing Ice Bin
1.
Turn off the ice maker.
2. Lift the ice bin upward then pull
straight out to remove.
3. Empty and carefully clean the ice
bin with mild detergent. Do not use
harsh or abrasive cleaners. Rinse
with clean water.
4. Allow the ice bin to dry completely
before replacing in the freezer.
5. Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice
maker on.
Remove and empty the ice bin if:
• An extended power failure (one hour
or longer) causes ice cubes in the
ice bin to melt and refreeze together
after power is restored, jamming the
dispenser mechanism.
• You do not use the ice dispenser
frequently. Ice cubes will freeze
together in the bin, jamming the
dispenser mechanism.
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp
instrument to break up the ice. This
could damage the ice bin and dispenser
mechanism.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water.
Before replacing the ice bin, make sure
it is completely dry.
IMPORTANT
When removing or replacing the ice
bin, avoid rotating the auger in the ice
bin. If the auger is accidentally rotated,
you must realign the auger by turning
it in 45 degree turns (see below) until
the ice bin fits into place with the drive
mechanism. If the auger is not properly
aligned when replacing the ice bin, the
refrigerator will not dispense ice. The
refrigerator door also may not close
properly causing warm air to leak into
the refrigerator compartment.

Questions and answers
Our refrigerator is one month old. We are unable to press the cube button to dispense ice cubes. It will allow us to press crushed iced and the water dispenser are both working. Please advise as to how this can be corrected.
To fix the ice cube dispenser on your Frigidaire GRFS2853AF refrigerator, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the ice maker.
2. Remove the ice bin: Lift it upward, then pull it straight out.
3. Check for jammed ice: If ice cubes have melted and refrozen together (e.g., after a power failure or infrequent use), they may be jamming the dispenser. Empty the bin if needed.
4. Clean the ice bin: Use mild detergent and rinse with clean water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
5. Allow the ice bin to dry completely before placing it back into the freezer.
6. Reinstall the ice bin correctly: Ensure the auger aligns properly; otherwise, the dispenser may not work, and the refrigerator door may not close properly.
7. Turn the ice maker back on.
8. Check the ice chute: If an ice cube is jammed in the flapper when "Cube" or "Crush" is selected, remove the cube to reset the alarm and restore functionality.
If the problem persists, ensure the refrigerator is properly installed and leveled.
