AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
.
The ice maker and container are located in the top of the
freezer compartment. After the refrigerator is installed properly
and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can begin
making ice within 24 hours. Air in new plumbing lines may
cause the ice maker to cycle two or three times before making
a full tray of ice. With no usage, it will take approximately two
days to fill the ice container.
Because of new plumbing connections, the first production of
ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor. Discard
ice made during the first 24 hours.
TURNING YOUR SIDE MOUNTED ICE MAKER ON/OFF
To begin ice production, lower the wire signal arm to the
DOWN or ON position. The ice maker turns off automatically
when the ice container becomes full. To stop the ice maker,
raise the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the UP or
OFF position (see Figure 1).
TURNING YOUR REAR MOUNTED ICE MAKER ON/OFF
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s ON/OFF power
switch. To gain access to the ice maker, pull the ice cream
shelf out. Press the switch to the “O” position to turn it Off and
press it to the “I” position to turn it On (see Figure 2). The ice
maker also has a built-in wire signal arm, which automatically
stops ice production when the ice bin is full. DO NOT use this
signal arm to manually stop the ice maker.

Small Ice cubes or ice chips jamming in the ice maker may
be a sign that your water filter needs changing. If you have
a side mounted ice maker you may also experience hollow
cubes — partially frozen cubes with water inside. When
these cubes are harvested they break open and spill water
over the other ice cubes in the ice container, forming a solid
mass of ice. As the water filter nears the end of its useful
life and becomes clogged with particles, less water is
delivered to the ice maker during each cycle. The ice maker
can’t fill every cube in the ice maker mold, leading to small
cubes or chips that can get caught between the ice ejector
blades and the stripper. Remember, if your ice maker is
jamming with small ice cubes or it’s been six months or
longer since you last changed your water filter –
replace the water filter with a new one. Poor quality
household water may require the filter to be changed
more frequently.
ICE PRODUCTION: WHAT TO EXPECT
How Much Ice Will a Side Mounted Ice Maker
Produce in 24 Hours?
A side mounted ice maker will produce 4 to 4.5 pounds of
ice every 24 hours, depending on usage conditions. Ice is
produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
How Much Ice Will a Rear Mounted Ice Maker
Produce in 24 Hours?
A rear mounted ice maker will produce 3 to 4 pounds of ice
every 24 hours, depending on usage conditions. Ice is
produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.

When removing or replacing the ice bin, DO NOT rotate the
auger in the ice bin. If the auger is accidentally rotated, you
must realign the auger by turning it in 90º turns 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 only dispense
Crushed Ice
. The freezer
door may also not close properly causing warm air to leak
into the freezer.
