Automatic Icemaker (freezer models)

36” All-Refrigerator and All-Freezer Units

Automatic icemaker

(freezer models)

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

The icemaker will produce seven cubes per cycle—approximately 15 cycles 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 to OFF.

When the refrigerator has been connected

to the water supply, set the power switch to ON.

Throw away the first full bucket of ice.

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.

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 water valve cycle on several times when making one batch of ice.

NOTE: Icemaker works best between 40 and 120 PSI home water pressure.
