The icemaker will produce sevencubes per cycle—approximately100–130 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions.

See below for how to access ice and reach the power switch on dispenser models.

If the refrigerator is operatedbefore the water connection is madeto the icemaker, set the power switch in the O (off) position.

When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, set the power switch to the

l(on) position.

Theicemaker will fill withwaterwhen it cools to 15°F (–10°C).A newly installed refrigerator maytake 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes.

You willhear a buzzing sound each time the icemakerfills withwater.

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

Be surenothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm.

Whenthe 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.

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

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips

Models without a shelf above the ice bin

To access ice and reach the icemaker power switch:

Lift the bin, then pull it forward until the bin stops.

Lower the bin to access ice or reach the power switch.

NOTE: In order to take full advantage of the tilt-out ice bin, only store items on the shelf below the ice bin that are no taller than the lowest point on the bin.

Accessing Ice and Reaching the Power Switch on Dispenser Models

There are two types of ice storage bins

on dispenser models. One has a shelf above the bin, the other does not.

Special note about dispensermodels without a shelf above the ice bin:

■These models have a tilt-out ice bin. The bin can be tilted out as shown in the illustrations, and it willhold itself up whileyou take ice out or turn the icemaker power switchon and off.

Be sure to put the bin backin place before closing the door.

■To restore your ice level froman empty bucket stage, the following steps are recommended:

12 hours after the first batchof ice has fallen into the bin, dispense 3 to 4 cubes.

After an additional 6 hours,dispense 3 to 4 cubes again.

These steps will restore your ice level in the shortest amount of time.
