close to the icemaker and push the feeler arm to the STOP

Caution:
Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may be
discolored, usually appearing with a green-bluish color
The cause of this unusual discoloration is apparently due
to a combination of factors such as certain characteristics
of local waters, household plumbing and the
accumulation of copper salts in an inactive water supply
Iine which feeds the icemaker Continued consumption of
suchdiscobred ice cubes may be injurious to health. If
suchdiscobration is observed, discard the ice cubes and
contact your Sears Service Center

dumps that you can't break up

fuse together
