for a long time.
• If a sound that hit something is heard from inside the refrigerator, It is normal. The
sound comes due to ice cubes rubbing in the bucket periodically.

ice. • Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the water supply line before making ice?
• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?
• Did you manually stop the ice making function?

the left part of the door.
