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

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.
On power switch models, the green power light will blink if ice cubes get stuck in the icemaker. To correct this, 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 operation.
