AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER
WARNING
Connect to potable water supply only.
A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker
operation. The water pressure must be between 40 and
120 psi (275-827 kilopascals).
CAUTION
To minimize the risk of personal injury,
avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector
mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the
cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice
making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.
A newly-installed freezer may take 12–24 hours to
begin making ice.
The icemaker will produce seven cubes per cycle—
approximately 15 cycles in a 24-hour period, depending
on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature,
number of door openings and other use conditions.
If the freezer is operated before the water connection
is made to the icemaker, turn OFF the icemaker on the
control panel.
When the freezer has been connected to the water supply,
turn ON the icemaker on the control panel.
ACCESSING THE ICEMAKER AND ICE STORAGE BIN
The icemaker is located above the first drawer of the
freezer. The ice bin is in the first drawer.

(FREEZER MODELS)
Feeler Arm
Throw away the first full bucket 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: Icemaker works best between 40 and 120 PSI
(275-827 kPa) home water pressure.
To remove the ice bin:
Open and fully extend top drawer and lift out the ice
storage bin.
If the ice storage bin will be removed more than 2 minutes,
set the icemaker power switch to the OFF position to prevent
cubes from falling into the wire drawer. Remember to switch
the icemaker power switch back to the ON position before
replacing the ice storage bin.
