icemaker
NOTE: A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
The icemaker will produce seven cubes 
SHUF\FOH³DSSUR[LPDWHO\²FXEHV 
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, set the 
power switch in the OFF position.
When the refrigerator has been connected to the 
water supply, set the power switch to the 
ON position.
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.
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 and shrink.
Special notes:
• Dispenser models have a tilt-out ice bin.
The bin can be tilted out as shown in the 
illustrations, and it will hold itself up while you 
take ice out or turn the icemaker power switch 
on and off. Be sure to put the bin 
back in place before closing the door.
• To restore your ice level from an empty bucket
stage, the following steps are recommended:
1 12 hours after the first batch of ice has
fallen into the bin, dispense 3 to 4 cubes.
2 After an additional 6 hours, dispense
3 to 4 cubes again.
These steps will restore your ice level in the 
shortest amount of time.
1 Lift the bin, then pull it
forward until the bin stops.
