About the automatic icemaker.
GEAppliances.com
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.
Throw away the first few batches 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:
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.

Icemaker Accessory Kit
If your refrigerator did not come already equipped
with an automatic icemaker, an icemaker accessory
kit is available at extra cost.
Check the back of the refrigerator for the specific
icemaker kit needed for your model.
To Use the External Dispenser
(on some models)
Press the glass gently against the top of the
dispenser cradle.
The spill shelf is not self-draining. To reduce water
spotting, the shelf should be cleaned regularly.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is
first installed, there may be air in the water line
system. Press the dispenser arm for at least two
minutes to remove trapped air from the water line
and to fill the water system. To flush out impurities
in the water line, throw away the first six glassfuls
of water.
Locking the Dispenser
Press the
LOCK
pad for 3 seconds to lock
the dispenser and control panel. To unlock, press
and hold the pad again for 3 seconds.
Door Alarm
To set the alarm, press the
DOOR ALARM
pad. The
indicator light will illuminate. This alarm will sound if
either door is open for more than 2 minutes. The
beeping stops when you close the door.

To Use the Internal Dispenser
(on some models)
The water dispenser is located on the left wall inside
the refrigerator compartment.
To dispense water:
Hold the glass against the recess.
Push the water dispenser button.
Hold the glass underneath the dispenser for
2–3 seconds after releasing the dispenser
button. Water may continue to dispense after
the button is released.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first
installed, there may be air in the water line system.
Press the dispenser button for at least 2 minutes to
remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the
water system. During this process, the dispenser noise
may be loud as the air is purged from the water line
system. To flush out impurities in the water line, throw
away the first 6 glassfuls of water.
NOTE:
To avoid water deposits, the dispenser
should be cleaned periodically by wiping with
a clean cloth or sponge.
