Automatic Icemaker (on some models)
Bottom Mount Refrigerator
Automatic
icemaker
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 8 to 12
hours to begin making ice.
The icemaker will produce eight cubes per
cycle—approximately 100 cubes in a 24-hour
period, depending on freezer compartment
temperature, room temperature, number of
door openings and other use conditions.
If your refrigerator
is operated
before the water
connection is made
to the icemaker,
keep the feeler arm
in the STOP (up)
position.
When the
refrigerator has
been connected to
the water supply,
move the feeler
arm to the ON
(down) position.
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools
to freezing. A newly-installed refrigerator may
take 8 to 12 hours to begin making ice cubes.
Throw away the first few batches of ice.
This flushes away impurities in the water line.
Icemaking will continue until the feeler arm
senses enough ice cubes in the storage bin. For
maximum ice production, level the stored cubes
with your hand occasionally. Be sure nothing
interferes with the swing of the feeler arm.
The icemaker ejects cubes in groups of eight
and it is normal for several cubes to be joined
together.
Move the icemaker feeler arm to the STOP
(up) position when:
• home water supply is to be off for several
hours.
• ice storage bin is to be removed for a period
of time.
• going away on vacation, at which time you
should also turn off the valve in the water
supply line to your refrigerator.
• turning the freezer control to the OFF
position.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will
become cloudy and taste stale. Empty the ice
storage bin periodically and wash it in
lukewarm water. Be sure to allow the storage
bin to dry before replacing it—otherwise ice
cubes may stick to other parts of the icemaker.
If this is your first icemaker, you’ll hear
occasional sounds that may be unfamiliar. They
are normal icemaking sounds and are not a
cause for concern.
