Ice Bucket and Dispenser
• Pull up and out on the ice bucket to remove it from the
compartment.
• To replace the ice bucket, set it on the guide brackets and push
until the ice bucket seats properly.
• If bucket cannot be replaced, rotate the Ice Bucket Fork 1/4 turn
clockwise.
Extra Ice Storage
• There is additional ice storage in the freezer compartment drawer.
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 fi ll with water when
it cools to 15°F. 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
and access ice, open the ice box door
located on the refrigerator door and
remove the bucket.

You will hear a buzzing sound each
time the icemaker fi lls with water.
Throw away the fi rst 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 fi lls 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.
• Set the power switch to the O
(off) position if the water supply
is shut off.
• When replacing the IM use only
the originally electronic IM part
number.
