Icemaker Installation

A special icemaker mounting block must be used when installing an icemaker. Directions on how to install the icemaker mounting block are included in the Icemaker Accessory Kit Installation Instructions.

For U.S. models, the mounting block is included with the refrigerator. For Canadian models, the mounting block is included in the optional icemaker accessory kit (IM4-1).

Operating Instructions

Power Switch		Automatic Icemaker (on some models)
		Icemaker
		The icemaker will produce seven cubes
		per cycle---approximately 100–130 cubes
		in a 24-hour period, depending on
		freezer compartment temperature,
		room temperature, number of door
		openings and other use conditions.
	Feeler Arm	If the refrigerator is operated before the
		water connection is made to the icemaker,
		set the power switch to O (off).
		When the refrigerator has been connected
		to the water supply, set the power switch to
		I (on). Do not open the door/drawer for
		approximately 4 hours. This will allow the
		freezer to reach the correct operating
		temperature for making ice, and will
		prevent water from spilling out of the
		icemaker mold.
		Special Note about the Green Power Light:
		Even when the icemaker power switch is in
		the I (on) position, power to the icemaker
		will be interrupted when the freezer
		door/drawer is open. This prevents ice
		ejecting from the icemaker from missing
		the ice bucket and dropping into the back
		of the freezer. Because power to the
		icemaker is interrupted while the
		door/drawer is open, the green power light
		on the icemaker will be off. To make sure
		the icemaker is working properly, press the
		freezer light switch located on the upper
		right side of the freezer compartment. The
		power light on the icemaker will come on.

The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to 15°F (–10°C). A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes.

Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm.

When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.

It is normal for several cubes to be joined together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.

If ice cubes get stuck in the icemaker, set the power switch to O (off) and remove the cubes. Set the power switch to I (on) to restart the icemaker.

After the icemaker has been turned on again, there will be a delay of about

45 minutes before the icemaker resumes operations.

NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple times when making one batch of ice.
