USING THE REFRIGERATOR: Automatic Icemaker
Not all features are on all models.
Automatic Icemaker
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.
If the refrigerator is operated before the water connection
is made to the icemaker, set the power switch in the
OFF position.
When the refrigerator has been connected to the water
supply, set the power switch to the ON position.
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to 15°F
(–10°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.
CAUTION
Avoid contact with the moving parts of
the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element
(located on the bottom of the ice maker) that releases
the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on the
automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in.
Special note about dispenser models:

tilted out as shown in the illustrations, and it will hold
itself up while you take ice out or turn the icemaker
power switch on and off. Be sure to put the bin back in
place before closing the door.
■To restore your ice level from an empty bucket
stage, the following steps are recommended:
1. 12 hours after the first batch of ice has fallen into the
bin, dispense 3 to 4 cubes.
2. After an additional 6 hours, dispense 3 to 4 cubes
again.
These steps will restore your ice level in the shortest
amount of time.
NOTE:
In homes with lower than average water pressure, you
may hear the icemaker cycle multiple times when making
one batch of ice.
