Automatic Icemaker
The icemaker will produce seven cubes per cycle—
approximately 100–130 cubes in a 24-hour period,
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 in the
OFF position.
When the refrigerator has been connected to the water
supply, set the power switch to the ON position.
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to 15°F
(–10°C). A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24
hours to begin making ice cubes.
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.
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.

Accessing Ice and Reaching the Power
Switch on Dispenser Models
There are two types of ice storage bins on
dispenser models. One has a shelf above the bin, the
other does not.
Special note for models with tilt-out ice bin:
tilted out as shown in the illustrations, and it will hold
itself up while you take ice out or turn the icemaker
power switch on and off. Be sure to put the bin back in
place before closing the door.
NOTE: In order to take full advantage of the tilt-out ice
bin, only store items on the shelf below the ice bin that
are no taller than the lowest point on the bin.
To access ice, pull the bin
forward.
To reach the power switch,
pull the shelf straight out.
Always be sure to replace the
shelf.
