Ice maker operation

After freezer section reaches normal temperature, ice maker fills with water
and begins forming ice. Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Ice
maker should then produce 7 to 9 batches of ice in a 24-hour period under
normal conditions.* Discard the first three batches of ice. After ice is formed,
ice cubes drop into storage bin. When ice bin is full, ice maker arm raises to
the "OFF" position (arm up). If ice is not needed, you can stop ice maker by
raising arm to "OFF" position (arm up). Listen for a click sound to be sure that
ice maker will not continue to operate. To start ice maker, lower arm to the
"ON" position (arm down). Do not force arm up or down. Do not store anything
on top of ice maker or in ice bin.
If ice maker is not producing ice, check that:
• arm is in "ON" position (arm down).
• water supply line shutoff valve is in "ON" position.
• wiring harness is completely inserted into receptacle in rear freezer wall.
• electrical connections to water valve coil are secure.
