Automatic Icemaker (on some models)
The icemaker 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.
There are two types of icemakers: power switch
models and feeler arm models.
If the refrigerator is operated before the water
connection is made to the icemaker, set the
power switch to O (off) or move the feeler arm to
the STOP (up) position.
When the refrigerator has been connected to
the water supply, set the power switch to the I
(on) position or move the feeler arm to the ON
(down) position. On power switch models, the
green light will come on.
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools
to 15°F (–9°C). A newly-installed refrigerator
may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice
cubes.
You will hear a buzzing sound each time the
icemaker 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 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.
On power switch models, the green power light
will blink if ice cubes get stuck in the icemaker.
To correct this, 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 operation.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple times
when making one batch of ice.
