About ice service.
Automatic Icemaker (on some models)
The icemaker will produce eight cubes per cycle—
approximately 120 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending
on 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, raise the ice access door and make
sure the feeler arm is in the STOP (up) position.
When the refrigerator has been connected to the water
supply, move the feeler arm to the ON (down) position.
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to freezing. A
newly-installed refrigerator may take 8 to 12 hours to begin
making ice cubes.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water
line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the swing 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 and taste stale.

Icemaker Accessory Kit
If your refrigerator did not come already equipped with an automatic icemaker, an
icemaker accessory kit is available at extra cost. Check the back of the refrigerator for
the specific icemaker kit needed for your model.
Water Supply Kit
A kit containing copper tubing, shutoff valve, fittings and instructions needed to
connect the icemaker to your cold water line is available at extra cost from your
dealer or from Parts and Accessories, 800-626-2002.
See the Preparing to install the refrigerator section.
Ice Trays
To release ice cubes, turn the tray upside
down, hold it over a container, and twist
both ends.
For only one or two ice cubes, leave the
tray right-side up, twist both ends slightly,
and remove as many cubes as you want.
Wash ice trays in lukewarm water only—do not
put them in an automatic dishwasher.
