Ice Maker Tips - Kenmore 7472 - 16.5 cu. Ft. Top Freezer Refrigerator Use & Care Manual

If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, it will provide a
sufficient supply of ice for normal use. During the initial startup
of your refrigerator, no ice will be produced during the first 24
hours of operation. Air in new plumbing lines may cause the
ice maker to cycle two or three times before making a full tray
of ice. With no usage, it will take approximately one to two days
to fill the ice container.
New plumbing connections may cause the first production of
ice cubes to be discolored or have an odd flavor. Discard ice
made during the first 24 hours.
