Turning the ice maker on and off
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it
can work as soon as you install your refrigera-
tor. If you do not fill the water tank, set the ice
maker's On/Off feature to Off; otherwise, the ice
maker's fill valve may make a loud chattering
noise when it attempts to operate without
water.
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's
On/Off feature on the control panel. Pressing
the On/Off feature turns the ice maker on & off.
Note: The ice maker also has a built-in plastic
signal arm that automatically stops ice pro-
duction when the ice bin is full. This signal arm
should not be used to manually stop the ice
maker.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker simply d isables ice
making. You will still be able to dispense exist-
ing ice, and you will still be able to dispense
water.
Ice maker/dispenser tips
• If your refrigerator is not connected to a
water supply or the water supply is turned off,
turn off the ice maker as d escribed in the
previous section.
• The following sounds are normal when the
ice maker is operating:
- Motor running
- Ice dropping into ice bin
- Water valve opening or closing
- Running water
• If you need a large quantity of ice at one
time, it is best to get cubes directly from the
ice bin.
• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an
odd flavor. Empty the ice bin as explained
below.
• When dispensing cubed ice, it is normal to
have a small quantity of little pieces along
with the whole cubes.
• To avoid splashing, dispense ice into your
container before adding liquids.
• It is normal for ice to fill to the top of the ice
bin.
CAUTION
If the water supply to your refrigerator is
softened, be sure the softener is properly main-
tained. Chemicals from a water softener can
damage the ice maker.

intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.
