The icemaker water valve will buzz when
the icemaker fills with water. If the power
switch is in the
I
(on) position, it will buzz
even if it has not yet been hooked up to
water. Keeping the power switch in the
I
(on) position before it is hooked up to
water can damage the icemaker. To
prevent this, move the power switch to
the
O
(off) position. This will stop the
buzzing.

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.
If the refrigerator is operated before the
water connection is made to the icemaker,
set the power switch to
O
(off).
When the refrigerator 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 freezing. A newly-installed
refrigerator may take 12 to 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.
NOTE:
In homes with lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple
times when making one batch of ice.

If the temperature can drop below freezing,
have a qualified servicer drain the water
supply system (on some models) to prevent
serious property damage due to flooding.
