What To Do
• After installing the kit, allow the refrigerator to completely
cool down for 24 hours. Once the compartment is cool,
the icemaker will begin ice production.
• Move the icemaker
power switch to the
ON position.
• Check that the power cord adapter is fully connected.
Also check that the icemaker power cord plug is fully
inserted into the socket. See Plug in the icemaker.
• Check that the plastic water line
running from the valve to the
water tube inlet is not kinked.
See Connect the water line. A kink
in the line will restrict water flow
to the icemaker.
• After installing the kit, make sure the house water supply
to the refrigerator has been turned on.
• Level cubes by hand.
• Check that the valve wire
adapter is completely
plugged onto the male
connector plug and the
terminals on the water
valve. See Attach the
water valve.
• Empty and wash bin. Discard old cubes.
• Wrap foods well.
• See Care and cleaning.
