About The Automatic Icemaker - Kenmore 7873 - Elite 24.7 cu. Ft. Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator Use And Care Manual

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER
Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to the
dispenser. The automatic icemaker can make 6 ice cubes
at a time, 80-130 cubes per 24-hour period. This quantity
may vary by circumstance, including freezer compartment
temperature, room temperature, number of door
openings, freezer load, and other operating conditions.
• It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed
refrigerator to make ice.
• Icemaking stops when the ice storage bin is full.
• To turn off the automatic icemaker, set the icemaker
switch to OFF(O). To turn on the automatic icemaker,
set the switch to ON(I).
• You can regulate the cube size by pressing the Cube
Size Select Button.
NOTE: It is normal that a noise is produced when ice
drops into the ice storage bin.
• Even when the water pipe is not connected and the Ice
Maker is turned on, the water valve operates. The noise
is generated because the water pipe is not connected,
which does not mean the icemaker is defective.
Personal injury Hazard
Avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector
mechanism, or with the heating element that releases
the cubes. DO NOT place fingers or hands on the
automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator
is plugged in.
