How to use the Automatic Icemaker
The dispenser icemaker will produce 12 cubes per cycle. The freezer icemaker will produce 7 cubes per cycle.
- The dispenser icemaker will produce approximately 216 - 288 cubes (20 - 24 cycles a day) in a 24 hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door opening and other user conditions.
- The freezer icemaker will produce 50 to 70 ice cubes in a 24 hour period depending on the same conditions listed above.
- It is normal for the icemaker to make banging sounds when the ice cubes are falling into the ice storage bin
- To prevent bad odor smell, regularly clean the ice cube storage bin.
- If the amount of ice in the storage bin is not sufficient, the ice may not be dispensed. Wait a day or so to make more ice.
- If the ice does not dispense easily, ensure the dispenser outlet is not blocked.
- Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear. Be sure nothing interferes with the level of the optical sensor space at the dispenser icemaker base or the shutoff arm of the freezer icemaker.
Icemaking will stop when the dispenser ice bin fills to the level of the optical sensor, or when the freezer ice bin fills and pushes the shutoff arm all the way up. Clear the bin of of excessive ice. If you remove bin for clearing, return bin correctly into place. Icemaking will resume after the ice bin is cleared to below the optical sensor in the dispenser icemaker, or cleared to allow the shutoff arm to lower in the freezer icemaker.
It is normal for several ice cubes to be joined together. If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become shrunken, cloudy and taste stale. If you won't use ice frequently, shut icemaking off.
