Freezer Icemaker (On Some Models)
Auto shutoff (feeler arm)
NOTE
• The automatic freezer icemaker produces 12 cubes
at a time, 50-110 pieces within a 24 hour period
if conditions are favorable. This amount may vary
according to the environment (ambient temperature
around the appliance, frequency of the door being
opened, amount of food stored in the appliance,
etc.).
• If the ice bin is completely filled with ice, ice
production will stop.
• Sound of ice dropping into the ice bin is normal.
• The icemaker produces ice once approximately 48
hours have passed after the appliance is initially
installed.
• Discard the first ice cubes produced after initial
install.
• Ice cubes which are stored in the ice bin for a
long time may clump together and be difficult
to separate. If this happens, empty the ice bin
completely and clean it before reinstalling it.
WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
• DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic
ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in.
• To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of the
ice door and passage.
CAUTION
• Never store beverage cans or other items in the
ice bin for the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so
may damage the icemaker or the containers may
burst.
Power Switch
Turning the Automatic Icemakers On
or Off
To turn off one of the automatic icemakers, set the
icemaker switch to OFF (O). To turn on the automatic
icemaker, set the switch to ON (I).

Normal Sounds You May Hear

• Keeping the power turned on to the icemakers
before the water line is connected can damage the
icemakers.
• The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker
fills with water. If the power switch is in the ON
(I) position, it will buzz even if it has not yet been
hooked up to water. To stop the buzzing, move the
power switch to OFF (O).
• You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the
bin and water running in the pipes as the icemaker
refills.
NOTE
• Do not keep the power turned on to the icemakers
if the water line is not connected. Doing so can
damage the icemakers.

Preparing for Vacation

Set both icemaker power switches to OFF (O) and
shut off the water supply to the appliance.
If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing,
have a qualified technician drain the water supply
system to prevent serious property damage due
to flooding caused by ruptured water lines or
connections.
NOTE
• The ice bin should be emptied any time the power
switch is turned to the OFF (O) position.
