producing ice.

feeler arm.

the water line to clear.
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.
You will hear a buzzing sound each time the
icemaker fills with water.
