Automatic Icemaker
(freezer models)
Refrigerator/Freezer
Automatic
icemaker
(freezer models)
A newly-installed freezer may take 12–24 hours
to begin making ice.
The icemaker will produce seven cubes per
cycle—approximately 100–130 cubes in a
24-hour period, depending on the freezer
temperature, room temperature, number of
door openings and other use conditions.
If your freezer is operated before the water
connection is made to the icemaker, set the
power switch to
O
(off)
.
When the freezer has been connected to the
water supply, set the power switch to
I
(on)
.
The green light will come on.
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools
to 15°F. A newly-installed freezer may take
12–24 hours to begin making ice cubes.
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.
If ice cubes get stuck in the icemaker, the green
power light will blink. To correct this,
set the power switch to
O
(off)
and remove the
cubes. Set the power switch to
I
(on)
to restart
the icemaker.
After the icemaker has been turned on again,
there will be a delay of about 45 minutes before
the icemaker resumes operations.
NOTE:
In homes with lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle
multiple times when making one batch of ice.
