Harvest:
During the harvest cycle, the compressor is still operating, but the water pump has
stopped. The ice cubes will slide off the evaporator into the storage bin, and the freeze cycle
will restart when all the cubes have been harvested.
When the ice bin is full, the ice maker will go into cold preservation mode and runs while
maintaining a low temperature.
NOTE:
A complete cycle of the two stages takes between 15 and 40 minutes, depending on
temperature and operating conditions.
How Your Ice Maker Uses Water
The ice maker begins with a fixed amount of water that is contained in the water trough. As the
water flows to the freezing evaporator surface, the portion of water that does not contain mineral
impurities freezes and sticks to the ice cube molds. The water containing impurities falls back into
the water trough. During the ice making process, fresh water enters the water trough while the
water in the trough freezes continuously in the evaporator.
Sounds
Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are
normal. Hard surfaces like the floor and walls can amplify the sound. Sounds may be caused by:
Rattling noises coming from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on top
of the ice maker can also make noises.
The high-efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
Water running may make a splashing sound.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
During the harvest cycle, you may hear the sound of ice cubes falling into the ice storage
bin.
