A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.

Safety

On dispenser models, to reach the 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.

Automatic 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.

If the refrigerator is operated before the water connection is made to 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.

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.

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.

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.

Special note about dispenser models:

Dispenser models have a tilt-out ice bin. The bin can be tilted out as shown in the illustrations, and it will hold itself up while you take ice out or turn the icemaker power switch on and off. Be sure to put the bin back in place before closing the door.

To restore your ice level from an empty bucket stage, the following steps are recommended:

12 hours after the first batch of 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.
