Automatic Icemaker
The icemaker will produce seven cubes
per cycle—approximately 100–130 cubes
in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer
compartment temperature, room temperature,
number of door openings
and other use conditions.
If the refrigerator is operated before the water
connection is made to the icemaker, set the
power switch in the OFF position.
When the refrigerator has been connected to
the water supply, set the power switch to the ON
position.
The icemaker will fill with water when it
cools to 15°F (–10°C). A newly installed
refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin
making ice cubes.
You will hear a buzzing sound each time
the icemaker fills with water.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow
the water line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep
of the feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm,
the icemaker will stop producing
ice. It is normal for several cubes to be joined
together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will
become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.
Special note about dispenser models:
Dispenser models have a tilt-out ice bin. The
bin can be tilted out as shown in the
illustrations, and it will hold itself up while
you take ice out or turn the icemaker power
switch on and off. Be sure to put the bin back
in place before closing the door.
To restore your ice level from an empty
bucket stage, the following steps are
recommended:
12 hours after the first batch of ice
has fallen into the bin, dispense
3 to 4 cubes.
After an additional 6 hours, dispense
3 to 4 cubes again.
These steps will restore your ice level
in the shortest amount of time.
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Removing Ice Bin (dispenser models)
CAUTION: The ice bin is heavy when full.
Set the power switch to the OFF position before
removing the bin.
When replacing the bin, be sure to press it
firmly into place. If it does not go all the way
back, remove it and rotate the drive mechanism
1/4 turn. Then push the bin back again.
