There are two types of icemakers: power switch models and feeler arm models.

Once the icemaker starts to make ice,
it may take up to 48 hours to fill the bin, depending on the temperature settings and number of door openings.
You will hear a buzzing sound each time the icemaker fills with water.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.

It is normal for several cubes to be joined together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale, shrink or fuse together.

Press the dispenser button for at least 2 minutes to remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the water system.

NOTE: To avoid water deposits, the dispenser should be cleaned periodically by wiping with a clean cloth or sponge.
