Refrigerator - Integrated Ice™ System

Many Bottom-Freezer and Side-by-Side style refrigerators feature an Integrated Ice™ System. This article highlights the benefits of this system.

Understanding the Design and Benefits of the Integrated Ice™ System

Bottom-Freezer Models

The ice bucket and icemaker are integrated in one system, and not in the freezer basket. This prevents ice from being "raked" out when the baskets are extended, so no more ice cubes fall onto the freezer floor.

Side-by-Side Models

The ice bucket is integrated into the freezer ceiling providing better eye level storage. The IM5SS icemaker uses an electronic sensor to detect the level of the water and allows for a 2nd and 3rd fill into the mold if necessary due to low water pressure. This helps provide consistent cube size. The sensor also calculates water temperature during the freezing process and empties ice as soon as frozen so the next cycle can begin.

• The ice bucket design allows it to easily tilt down for quick removal of bulk ice, and pulls up and out for quick removal.
• The auger, found on dispenser models, is stainless steel for durability and consistent high performance. The feeler arm detects when the ice drawer is full and turns the icemaker on and off as needed.

Benefits to the Integrated Ice™ System In Side-by-Side Refrigerators

• A Tilt-down Easy Access Ice Chest that makes scooping large quantities of ice easy.
• Built-in stops that hold it safely and securely and can hold up to a 40 lb. weight, even when full of ice.
• The top freezer location holds ice in a consistently cold area.
• The Integrated Ice System will hold 7 lbs. of ice in the bucket.
