Automatic Icemaker

(on some models)
The icemaker will produce eight cubes
per cycle—approximately 100 cubes in a
24-hour period, depending on freezer
compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of door openings
and other use conditions.
If the refrigerator is operated before
the water connection is made to the
icemaker, keep the feeler arm in the
STOP (up) position.
When the refrigerator has been
connected to the water supply, move the
feeler arm to the ON (down) position.
The icemaker will fill with water when it
cools to freezing. A newly-installed
refrigerator may take 8 to 12 hours to
begin making ice cubes.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to
allow the water line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the swing
of the feeler arm.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined
together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes
will become cloudy and taste stale.
Icemaker Accessory Kit
If your refrigerator did not already come
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.
