28 Automatic Ice & Water Maker/Dispenser
Priming the water supply
system
Your refrigerator’s water supply system
includes several tubing lines, an advanced
water filter, a distribution valve bank, and a
reserve tank to ensure ample supply to the ice
and water dispenser at all times. This system
needs to be completely filled with water when
first connected to an external supply line.
To prime the water supply system:
1 Begin filling the tank by pressing and
holding a drinking glass against the
water dispenser paddle.
2 Keep the glass in this position until water
comes out of the dispenser. It may take
about 1½ minutes.
3 Continue dispensing water for about
three minutes to flush the system and
plumbing connections of any impurities
(stopping to empty the glass as
necessary).
Ice maker operation & care
The ice maker, ice bin, and dispenser feeding
mechanism are located in the top of the
freezer compartment. After the refrigerator is
installed properly and has cooled for several
hours, the ice maker can produce ice within
24 hours. It can completely fill an ice bin in
about two days.
The ice maker produces four to six pounds
of ice every 24 hours depending on usage
conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of eight
cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
Using the ice maker after installation
Before making ice for the first time, be sure
to prime the water supply system. Air in new
plumbing lines can result in two or three
empty ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the
system is not flushed, the first ice cubes may
be discolored or have an odd flavor.

IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory
so it can work as soon as you install your
refrigerator. If you cannot connect a water
supply, turn the ice maker’s On/Off switch
to Off. Otherwise, the ice maker’s fill valve
may make a loud chattering noise when it
attempts to operate without water.
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation,
recommended water supply pressure
should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi.
Excessive pressure may cause water
filter to malfunction.
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in wire
signal arm, which automatically stops ice
production when the ice bin is full. This
signal arm should not be used to manually
stop the ice maker.
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device
that shuts off the water flow after three
minutes of continuous use. To reset this
shutoff device, simply release the dispenser
paddle.
Turning the ice maker on and off
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s
On/Off power switch. To gain access to
the ice maker, pull the extra shelf out (some
models). Press the switch to the “O” position
to turn it Off and press to the “I” position to
turn it On.
