Automatic Icemaker
(on some models)
The icemaker will produce seven cubes
per cycle
―
approximately 100–130 cubes
in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer
compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of door openings
and other use conditions.
See below for how to access ice and reach
the power switch
.
If the refrigerator is operated before the
water connection is made to the icemaker,
set the power switch in the
O (off)
position.
When the refrigerator has been connected to
the water supply, set the power switch to the
l (on)
position. The icemaker power light will
turn green when the freezer light switch is
pressed in or when the freezer door is closed.
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools
to 15°F (–10°C). A newly installed refrigerator
may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making
ice cubes.
You will hear a buzzing sound each time the
icemaker fills with water.
When the bin fills to the level of the verticle
actuator, the icemaker will stop producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined
together.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average
water pressure, you may hear the icemaker
cycle multiple times when making one batch
of ice.
NOTE: Set the power switch to the O (off)
position if the water supply is shut off.
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.

The icemaker will fill with water when it
cools to 15°F (-10°C). A newly installed
refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to
begin making ice cubes.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of
the feeler arm or the movement of the ice
level switch verticle actuator. (See
Ice Level
Switch
.)
NOTE:
Each time the icemaker calls for
water the evaporator fan motor will operate
for 2 hours, resulting in increased ice
production.
