  1. Open your Kenmore's freezer and place an open box of baking soda on a shelf. This keeps the freezer fresh at all times.

  2. Remove the ice maker's tray by lifting it to unlock it, and then pull it out.

  3. Dispose of all ice within the tray. Pour the ice in the sink and melt it with hot water.

  4. Clean the ice maker tray with warm water and dish soap on a sponge or rag. Clean it thoroughly as if it is one of your dishes.

  5. Rinse and dry the tray fully, and then place it back in the freezer.
