Automatic Icemaker (on some models)
Bottom Freezer Refrigerator
Automatic
icemaker
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.
If the refrigerator is operated before the water
connection is made to the icemaker, set the
power switch to O (off).
When the refrigerator has been connected to the
water supply, set the power switch to
I
(on).
Throw away the first full bucket 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.
If ice cubes get stuck in the icemaker, set the
power switch to O (off) and remove the cubes. Set
the power switch to
I
(on) to restart the icemaker.
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 low water pressure, you
may hear the icemaker water valve cycle on several
times when making one batch of ice.
