The Ice Maker is designed to produce ice automatically. The length of time between harvest cycles will
vary, depending on load conditions, door openings, ambient temperature and freezer temperature and
water temperature. These factors must be taken into consideration when checking the ice production rate.
With a temperature of -2°F to +5°F in the freezer, the rate of harvest will be 40 to 96 cubes per 24 hour
period.
The ice maker is wired across the line and will harvest ice in the refrigeration or defrost cycles.
The water valve and solenoid assembly are both mounted in the compressor compartment.
A tube extends from the water valve up the rear wall of the refrigerator to a water inlet spout that directs
the water into the fill trough. The water fill spout will twist lock into a housing in the back of the refrigera-
tor and direct water flow into the ice maker from the side of the mold.
