About the automatic ice maker.
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Automatic Ice maker (on some models)
The ice maker 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 ice maker, 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 ice maker 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 may hear a buzzing sound each time the ice maker 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 ice maker 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.
NOTE: In homes with
lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the
ice maker cycle multiple
times when making one
batch of ice.
