ICE MAKER INFORMATION

Turn the IM ON and OFF: 

Press and hold the POWER button for ½ second to turn the IM ON and OFF. When the IM is ON, the Power button will be illuminated solid green

Test Cycling: 

Press and release the TEST/SERVICEbutton to start the self-diagnostic function. The tray will perform two rotations. The ice level arm must be held so that it does not drop during the first rotation (simulating full ice bin). Once the 

tray returns to the Home position, the arm can be released. Allow the arm to drop normally during the the second rotation (simulating empty ice bin). Once the tray returns Home after the second rotation, the POWER button will change back to 

solid green if no errors were detected during the test. This means the IM operates properly. If errors are detected at any time during the test, the test will stop immediately and the POWER button will blink rapidly continuously. In this case, there 

is some internal failure of the IM. 

NOTE: If the arm is not held during the first rotation, the IM will indicate a failure falsely. 

To run the test again to verify, the IM must be turned OFF and back ON.
