Remember that water quality determines your ice quality. If the water source
uses a water softener, ensure that the softener is maintained and working
properly. Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice
maker.
To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the “up”
or OFF position. The ice maker turns off automatically when the ice container
is full. If your model has an adjustable freezer shelf, place the shelf so the wire
signal arm will hit the ice when the ice container is full.
