About the automatic icemaker.
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12–24 hours to begin making ice.
Automatic Icemaker (on some models)
CAUTION
Avoid contact with the
moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with
the heating element (located on the bottom of
the ice maker) that releases the cubes. Do not
place fingers or hands on the automatic ice
making mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in.
The icemaker will produce approximately 3 to
3
1
ø2 lbs. of ice in a 24-hour period, depending on
the 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, move the
power switch to OFF.
When the refrigerator has been connected to
the water supply, set power switch to ON
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to
15°F. A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12
to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes.
Once the icemaker starts to make ice, 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.
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, shrink or fuse
together.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle
multiple times when making one batch of ice.
Icemaker Accessory Kit
If your refrigerator did not already come
equipped with an automatic icemaker, an
icemaker accessory kit is available at extra cost.
Check the back of the refrigerator for the specific
ice maker kit needed for your mode
