approximately 15 cycles 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 on the icemaker
to OFF.
Important Facts About Your Icemaker
You may 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.
Icemaker
When the refrigerator has been connected to the water
supply, set the power switch on the icemaker to ON.
For dispense models, the icemaker can be turned on and off
using the power switch on the icemaker or by using the Ice
Maker button on the control panel. If you use the control panel
to turn the icemaker off you will have to use the control panel
to turn it back on. The same is true for the power switch on the
icemaker.
CAUTION
Avoid contact with the moving parts
of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element
(located on the bottom of the ice maker) that releases the
cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice
making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.
