AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER - FREEZER

IMPORTANT

Your ice maker is turned on at the factory 

so it can work as soon as you install your 

refrigerator. If you cannot connect a water 

supply, lift the ice maker’s wire signal arm to 

turn it off. Otherwise, the ice maker’s fill valve 

may make a loud chattering noise when it 

attempts to operate without water.

CAUTION

If the water supply to your refrigerator is 

softened, be sure the softener is properly 

maintained. Chemicals from a water softener 

can damage the ice maker.

CAUTION

NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp 

instrument to break up the ice. This could 

damage the ice bin.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water. 

Before replacing the ice bin, make sure it is 

completely dry.

Operation & Care of the Freezer 

Ice Maker 

(select models)

After the refrigerator is installed properly, the ice 

maker can produce ice within 24 hours. It can 

completely fill the ice bin in about three days.
When using the ice maker for the first time and 

in order for the ice maker to work properly, it is 

necessary to clear air from water filter tubing. 

Once ice maker begins making ice, allow the 

bucket to fill completely, then discard the first 

TWO FULL buckets of ice. It will take at least 

two days to completely fill the bucket on regular 

ice making mode or 1½ days on fast ice mode.
The ice maker produces approximately four 

2.5 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on 

usage conditions.

Turning the ice maker on and off

Ice production is controlled by lifting/lowering 

the ice maker’s wire signal arm. To gain access 

to the ice maker, pull the freezer drawer out. Lift 

the wire signal arm to turn the ice maker OFF 

and lower the wire signal arm to turn it ON.

Ice maker tips

• 

If your refrigerator is not connected to a water 

supply or the water supply is turned off, turn 

off the ice maker by lifting wire signal arm.

Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular 

intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.
  1  Turn off the ice maker.
  2  Remove the ice bin.
  3  Empty and carefully clean the ice bin 

with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or 

abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clean water.

  4  Allow the ice bin to dry completely before 

replacing in the freezer.

  5  Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker on.
Remove and empty the ice bin if an extended 

power failure (one hour or longer) causes 

ice cubes in the ice bin to melt and freeze 

together.
Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the 

cubes or clean as explained above.

• 

The following sounds are normal when the 

ice maker is operating:

 

-  Motor running

 

-  Ice dropping into ice bin

 

-  Water valve opening or closing

 

-  Running water

• 

Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd 

flavor. Empty the ice bin as explained below.

Quick Ice Function

Your refrigerator is equipped with a Quick Ice 

Function, that increases ice production. This 

function terminates automatically.
