Bottom Mount Refrigerator

Automatic icemaker

A newly-installed refrigerator may take 8 to 12 hours to begin making ice.

The icemaker will produce eight cubes per cycle—approximately 100 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions.

If your refrigerator

Storage Bin

Icemaking will continue until the feeler arm senses enough ice cubes in the storage bin. For maximum ice production, level the stored cubes with your hand occasionally. Be sure nothing interferes with the swing of the feeler arm.

The icemaker ejects cubes in groups of eight and it is normal for several cubes to be joined together.

Move the icemaker feeler arm to the STOP (up) position when:

•home water supply is to be off for several hours.

•ice storage bin is to be removed for a period of time.

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 freezing. A newly-installed refrigerator may take 8 to 12 hours to begin making ice cubes.

Throw away the first few batches of ice.

This flushes away impurities in the water line.

•going away on vacation, at which time you should also turn off the valve in the water supply line to your refrigerator.

•turning the freezer control to the OFF position.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy and taste stale. Empty the ice storage bin periodically and wash it in lukewarm water. Be sure to allow the storage bin to dry before replacing it—otherwise ice cubes may stick to other parts of the icemaker.

If this is your first icemaker, you’ll hear occasional sounds that may be unfamiliar. They are normal icemaking sounds and are not a cause for concern.

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.
