The icemaker is located behind the first drawer

the icemaker power switch to the OFF position.
With the access door closed, support the storage
bin at the bottom while slightly lifting. Pull bin
straight out. See Drawer Removal section.

the tab on the bin locks into the slot on the shelf.
After replacing the ice bin, open the access door

A newly-installed refrigerator may take
12–24 hours to begin making ice.
The icemaker will produce seven cubes per
cycle—approximately 15 cycles 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 to OFF.
When the refrigerator has been connected
to the water supply, set the power switch to
ON
.
Throw away the first full bucket of ice.
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.
After the icemaker has been turned on again,
there will be a delay of about 45 minutes before
the icemaker resumes operations.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average
water pressure, you may hear the icemaker
water valve cycle on several times when
making one batch of ice.
NOTE: Icemaker works best between
40 and 120 PSI home water pressure.
