Automatic Icemaker
(on some models)
The icemaker will produce seven cubes
per cycle—approximately 100–130 cubes
in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer
compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of door openings
and other use conditions.
See below for how to access ice and reach
the power switch.
If the refrigerator is operated before the
water connection is made to the icemaker,
set the power switch in the O (off) position.
The icemaker power light will turn green
when the freezer light switch is pressed in
or when the freezer door is closed.
When the refrigerator has been connected
to the water supply, set the power switch to
the l (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.
Accessing Ice and Reaching
the Power Switch
To reach the icemaker power switch, pull the
shelf above the ice bin straight out. Always
be sure to replace the shelf.
To access ice, simply pull the bin forward.
Icemaker Accessory Kit
If your refrigerator did not come already
equipped with an automatic icemaker,
an icemaker accessory kit is available at
extra cost.
To Use the Dispenser
(on some models)
The water dispenser is located on the left
wall inside the refrigerator compartment.
To dispense water:
Hold the glass against the recess.
Push the water dispenser button.
Hold the glass underneath the
dispenser for 2–3 seconds after
releasing the dispenser button.
Water may continue to dispense
after the button is released.
You will 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.
Shelf
Ice Bin
To access ice.
Check the back of the refrigerator for
the specific icemaker kit needed for
your model.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first
installed, there may be air in the water line system.
Press the dispenser button for at least 2 minutes to
remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the
water system. During this process, the dispenser
noise may be loud as the air is purged from the
water line system. To flush out impurities in the
water line, throw away the first 6 glassfuls of water.
NOTE: To avoid water deposits, the dispenser
should be cleaned periodically by wiping with a
clean cloth or sponge.
