Truth or Myth

Truth or Myth? Answer Explanation

The automatic ice maker in my refriger-

ator will produce ice when the refrigera-

tor is plugged in to a power receptacle.

MYTH The refrigerator must be connected to water, and the ice maker must be turned on.

Make sure the ice maker is turned on, only after the water line is connected and water

is turned on. The ice maker can be turned off by switching it to the OFF position.

The freezer must be 15 degrees or colder before the icemaker will produce ice. Please

allow at least 24 hours for the refrigerator to pull down and the unit’s temperature to

stabilize.

I will never see frost inside the freezer

compartment.

MYTH Frost inside the freezer typically indicates that the door is not properly sealed, or has

been left open. If frost is found, clear the frost using a plastic spatula and towel, then

check to ensure that no food packages or containers are preventing the freezer door

from closing. To help reduce to the potential for frost please make sure there is proper

clearance to the air supply and vents in the freezer to improve circulation. Always

cover food before loading into the refrigerator, moisture from open containers can

add to the frost load.
