AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER*
NOTE: A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24
hours to begin making ice.
WARNING
Connect to potable water supply only. A
cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker
operation. The water pressure must be between 40 and
120 psi (275-827 kilopascals)
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.
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.
If the refrigerator is operated before the water line
connection is made to the unit or if the water supply to
an operating refrigerator is turned off, make sure that
the icemaker is turned off. Once the water has been
connected to the refrigerator, the icemaker may be turned
on. See the table below for details.
You may hear a buzzing sound each time the icemaker fills
with water.
Freezer Ice Bucket*
The ice storage is in the freezer compartment drawer.
• Open the freezer drawer.
• The ice bucket is located on the left side of the upper
basket.
• Pull the upper basket forward to remove the ice bucket.

Throw away the first bin of ice to allow the water line to
clear. It is normal for ice to appear discolored in the first 24
hours of production, or after water filter replacement.
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.
CAUTION
To minimize the risk of personal
injury, avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector
mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the
cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice
making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.
