NOTE
1 Begin filling the system 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 four minutes to flush the system and plumbing connections of any impurities (stopping to empty the glass as necessary).
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.
NOTE Dispensed water is not chilled. For colder water, add ice to cup or container before dispensing water.
After the refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. The ice maker will fill the ice bin from the rear. You must dispense some ice to force the ice forward in the bin. This will allow the bin to fill completely.
This ice maker should produce 2.0 to 2.5 pounds of ice per 24 hours.
In a Standard Depth model, the ice bin will hold about 6.5 pounds of ice. In a Counter Depth model, the ice bin will hold about 4 pounds of ice.
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s On/Off feature on the control panel. Pressing the On/Off feature turns the ice maker on & off.
IMPORTANT Turning off the ice maker simply disables ice making. You will still be able to dispense existing ice, and you will still be able to dispense water.
NOTE The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal arm that automatically stops ice production when the ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be used to manually stop the ice maker.
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
CAUTION If the water supply to your refrigerator is softened, be sure the softener is properly maintained. Chemicals from a water softener can damage the ice maker.
Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.
1 Turn off the ice maker.
2 Remove the ice bin by pulling straight out.
3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clear water.
4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before replacing in the freezer.
5 Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker on.
Remove and empty the ice bin if:
Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.
CAUTION
IMPORTANT
Operation & Care of the Freezer Ice Maker (select models)
After the refrigerator is installed properly, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. When using the ice maker for the first time, and in order for it to work properly, it is necessary to clear air from the water tubing and the filter. Furthermore, if the system is not flushed, the first ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor. Once the ice maker begins making ice, allow the bin to fill completely, then discard the first FULL bin of ice on a Standard Depth model, and the first TWO FULL bins of ice on a Counter Depth model.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity
This ice maker should produce between 2 and 2.5 pounds of ice per 24 hours depending on usage conditions. In a Standard Depth model, the ice bin will hold about 12 pounds of ice. In a Counter Depth model, the ice bin will hold about 7 pounds of ice.
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, lift the ice maker’s wire signal arm to turn it off. Otherwise, the ice maker’s fill valve may make a loud chattering noise when it attempts to operate without water
Turning the ice maker on and off
The ice maker is turned off and on by lifting/ lowering the ice maker’s wire signal arm. To gain access to the ice maker, pull the freezer drawer out. Lift the wire signal arm to turn the ice maker OFF and lower the wire signal arm to turn it ON.
Ice maker tips
The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:
Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice bin as explained below.
Quick Freeze Function
Your refrigerator is equipped with a Quick Freeze Function for freezing food at a faster rate, but it can also increase ice production. This function terminates automatically after 12 hours. This function affects only the ice maker in the freezer.
Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.
Remove and empty the ice bin if an extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin to melt and refreeze together after power is restored.
Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.
CAUTION
CAUTION To avoid personal injury or property damage, handle tempered glass shelves carefully. Shelves may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or exposed to sudden temperature change. Allow the glass shelves to stabilize to room temperature before cleaning. Do not wash in dishwasher.

| Concern | Potential Cause | Common Solution |
| Automatic Ice Maker | ||
| Ice maker is not making any ice. |
• Ice maker is turned off. • Refrigerator is not connected to water line or water valve is not open. • The water supply line is kinked. • The water filter is not seated properly. • The water filter may be clogged with foreign material. • Freezer ice maker wire signal arm is being held up by an item not allowing it to go in the on or down position. |
• Turn on ice maker. For the fresh food ice maker, press ice maker on-off button once. For the freezer ice maker, lower the arm to turn the ice maker on, or raise it and snap it in its upper position to turn the ice maker off. • Connect the unit to the household water supply and ensure the water valve is open. • Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the refrigerator is pushed into place against the wall. • Remove and re-install the water filter. Be sure to seat it fully into the locked position. • If water dispenses slowly or not at all, or if the filter is six months old or older, it should be replaced. • Move any item or frozen ice cubes that may block the signal arm from being in the on or down position. Additionally, the ice bin itself may be out of position so that it prevents the signal arm from dropping all the way down. Be sure the bin is pushed all the way to the rear of the shelf. See Automatic Ice MakerFreezer section in manual. |
| Ice maker is not making enough ice. |
• Ice maker is producing less ice than you expect. • The water filter may be clogged with foreign material. • The water supply line is kinked. • Saddle valve on cold water pipe is clogged or restricted by foreign material. • Heavy traffic, opening or closing of the doors excessively. • Freezer control is set too warm (freezer ice maker). • Water pressure is extremely low. Cut-off and cut-on pressures are too low (well systems only). • Reverse osmosis system is in regenerative phase. |
• The ice maker will produce approximately 2.0 to 2.5 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions. • If water dispenses slower than normal, or if the filter is six months old or older, it should be replaced. • Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the refrigerator is pushed into place against the wall. • Turn off household water line valve. Remove valve. Clean valve. Replace valve if necessary. • Press Fast Freeze to temporarily increase ice production rate. (Freezer ice maker only.) • Set freezer control to colder setting to improve performance of the ice maker (freezer ice maker). Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize. • Have someone turn up the cut-off and cut-on pressure on the water pump system (well systems only). • It is normal for a reverse osmosis system to be below 20 psi during the regenerative phase. |
| Freezer ice maker will not stop making ice (select models). | • Ice maker wire signal arm is being held down by a package in the freezer that has fallen against ice maker. | • Move any item or frozen ice cubes that may block the signal arm from being in the off or upward position. See Automatic Ice Maker-Freezer section in manual. |
| Ice cubes are freezing together. |
• Ice cubes are not being used frequently enough or interruption of power for prolonged time. • Ice cubes are hollow (shells of ice with water inside). The hollow cubes break open in the bin and leak their water onto existing ice, which causes it to freeze together. |
• Remove ice container and discard ice. The ice maker will produce fresh supply. Ice should be used at least twice weekly to keep the cubes separated. • This generally occurs when the ice maker does not get enough water. This is usually the result of a clogged water filter or restricted water supply. Replace the water filter and if the condition still occurs check for a clogged Saddle Valve, water valve not turned on all the way or kinked water supply line. |
| Dispenser (Ice & Water) | ||
| Dispenser will not dispense ice. |
• There is no ice in the bin to be dispensed. • The refrigerator doors are not completely closed. • Dispenser paddle has been pressed too long and the dispenser motor has overheated. |
