About the automatic icemaker. GEAppliances.com
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12–24 hours to begin making ice.
Automatic Icemaker (on some models)
The icemaker will produce approximately
3 to 3
1
⁄2 lbs. of ice in a 24-hour period,
depending on the 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,
move the feeler arm to 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 15°F. A newly-installed refrigerator may
take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice
cubes.
Once the icemaker starts to make ice, it may
take up to 48 hours to fill the bin, depending
on the temperature settings and number of
door openings.
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, shrink or fuse
together.
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.
Icemaker accessory kit:
If your refrigerator did not already come
equipped with an automatic icemaker, an
icemaker accessory kit is available at extra cost.
Check the back of the refrigerator for the
specific icemaker kit needed for your model.
To Use the Dispenser (on some models)
The water dispenser is located on the left wall
inside the refrigerator compartment.
To dispense water:
Hold the glass against the recess.
Push the water dispenser button.
Hold the glass underneath the dispenser
for 2–3 seconds after releasing the
dispenser button. Water may continue to
dispense after the button is released.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator
is first installed, there may be air in the water
line system. Press the dispenser to run
1
1
/2
gallons to remove trapped air from the water
line and to fill the water system During this
process, the dispenser noise may be loud as
the air is purged from the water line system.
To flush out impurities in the water line, throw
away the first 6 glassfuls of water.
NOTE: To avoid water deposits, the
dispenser should be cleaned periodically by
wiping with a clean cloth or sponge.
Water Filter Accessory
The water filter is an option at extra cost and
is available from your dealer. Specify
WR97X0214. It has complete installation
instructions and installs on 1/4” O.D. copper
water line or plastic tubing that is included in
a GE SmartConnect
™
Refrigerator Tubing kit.
When using the plastic tubing, an additional
piece of plastic tubing (WX08X10002) must
also be ordered since the plastic tubing
should not be cut.
NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is
that supplied in GE SmartConnect
™
Refrigerator Tubing kits. Do not use any other
plastic water supply line because the line is
under pressure at all times. Certain types of
plastic will crack or rupture with age and
cause water damage to your home.
