About the automatic icemaker. GEAppliances.com

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

Feeler Arm

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.

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.

If the refrigerator is operated before the water

line connection is made to the unit or if the

water supply to an operating refrigerator is

turned off, make sure that the icemaker is

turned off. Once the water has been connected

to the refrigerator, the icemaker may be turned

on. To turn the icemaker on or off, use the ICE

MAKER button on the control.

You may 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.

NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water

pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle

multiple times when making one batch of ice.

WARNING

To minimize the risk of personal injury, avoid contact with the moving parts of the ice

maker mechanism and with the heating element that releases the cubes. Do not place

fingers or hands on the ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

If the temperature can drop below freezing, have a qualified

serious property damage due to flooding.
