If the refrigerator is operated before the water line

Allow 1-2 days for the bucket to completly fill with ice.
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.
