NormalSounds

Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces such as floors, walls and cabinets can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them.

■You will hear a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the water reservoir for each cycle.

■Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on top of the ice maker can also make noises.

■The high-efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high pitched sound.

■Water running over the evaporator plate may make a splashing sound.

■Water running from the evaporator plate to the water reservoir may make a splashing sound.

■As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your ice maker.

■You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.

■During the harvest cycle, you may hear a “thud” when the ice sheet slides from the evaporator onto the cutter grid.

■When you first start the ice maker, you may hear water running continuously. The ice maker is programmed to run a rinse cycle before it begins to make ice.

ICE MAKER USE

How Your Ice Maker Works

When you first start your ice maker, the water pan will fill and the system will rinse itself before starting to make ice. The rinsing process takes about 5 minutes.

Under normal operating conditions, the ice maker will cycle at preset temperatures. The ice level sensor located in the ice storage bin will monitor the ice levels.

IMPORTANT:

■If the water supply to the ice maker is turned off, be sure to set the ice maker control to OFF.

■The ice maker is designed to make clear ice from the majority of water sources on a daily basis. If your results are unsatisfactory, your water may need to be filtered or treated.

The Ice Making Process

1.Water is constantly circulated over a freezing plate. As the water freezes into ice, the minerals in the water are rejected. This produces a sheet of ice with a low mineral content.

2.When the desired thickness is reached, the ice sheet is released and slides onto a cutter grid. The grid divides the sheet into individual cubes.

3.The water containing the rejected minerals is drained after each freezing cycle.

4.Fresh water enters the machine for the next ice making cycle.
