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.
See below for how to access ice and reach the
power switch.
If the refrigerator is operated before the water
connection is made to the icemaker, set the power
switch in the O (off) position.
When the refrigerator has been connected to
the water supply, set the power switch to the l (on)
position. The icemaker power light will turn green
when the freezer light switch is pressed in or when
the freezer door is closed.
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.
Accessing Ice and Reaching
the Power Switch
To reach the icemaker power switch, pull
the shelf above the ice bin straight out. Always
be sure to replace the shelf.
To access ice, simply pull the bin forward.

Icemaker Accessory Kit

If your refrigerator did not come already equipped
with an automatic icemaker, an icemaker
accessory kit is available at extra cost.
To Use the Dispenser
Press the glass gently against the top of the
dispenser cradle.
The spill shelf is not self-draining. To reduce water
spotting, the shelf should be cleaned regularly.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is
first installed, there may be air in the water line
system. Press the dispenser arm for at least two
minutes to remove trapped air from the water line
and to fill the water system. To flush out impurities
in the water line, throw away the first six glassfuls
of water.
To Use the Internal Water Dispenser
The water dispenser is located on the left wall
inside the refrigerator compartment.
To dispense water:
Hold the glass against the recess.
Push the water dispenser button.
Hold the glass underneath the dispenser for
2–3 seconds after releasing the dispenser
button. Water may continue to dispense
after the button is released.
(on some models)
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.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple
times when making one batch of ice.
NOTE: Set the power switch to the O (off) position
if the water supply is shut off.
Shelf
To access ice.
Check the back of the refrigerator for the specific
icemaker kit needed for your model.
(on some models)
Locking the Dispenser
Press the LOCK pad for 3 seconds to lock
the dispenser and control panel. To unlock,
press and hold the pad again for 3 seconds.
(on some models)
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is
first installed, there may be air in the water line
system. Press the dispenser button for at least
2 minutes to remove trapped air from the water
line and to fill the water system. During this
process,
the dispenser noise may be loud as the air is
purged from the water line system. To flush out
impurities in the water line, throw away the first
6 glassfuls of water.
NOTE: To avoid water deposits, the dispenser
should be cleaned periodically by wiping with
a clean cloth or sponge.
