Automatic Icemaker

approximately 100–130 cubes in a 24-hour period,
depending on freezer compartment temperature,
room temperature, number of door openings and
other use conditions.
See below for how to access ice and reach the
power switch.
If the refrigerator is operated before the water
connection is made to the icemaker, set the power
switch in the O (off) position.
When the refrigerator has been connected to the
water supply, set the power switch to the l (on)
position. The icemaker power light will turn green
when the freezer light switch is pressed in or when
the freezer door is closed.
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.
Accessing Ice and Reaching the
Power Switch
To reach the icemaker power switch, pull the shelf
above the ice bin straight out. Always be sure to
replace the shelf.
To access ice, simply pull the bin forward.

Icemaker Accessory Kit

If your refrigerator did not come already equipped
with an automatic icemaker, an icemaker accessory
kit is available at extra cost.
To Use the Dispenser
Press the glass gently against the top of the
dispenser cradle.
The spill shelf is not self-draining. To reduce water
spotting, the shelf should be cleaned regularly.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first
installed, there may be air in the water line system.
Press the dispenser arm for at least two minutes to
remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the
water system. To flush out impurities in the water line,
throw away the first six glassfuls of water.
To Use the Internal Water Dispenser
The water dispenser is located on the left wall inside
the refrigerator compartment.
To dispense water:
Hold the glass against the recess.
Push the water dispenser button.
Hold the glass underneath the dispenser for 2–3
seconds after releasing the dispenser button.
Water may continue to dispense after the button
is released.
(on some models)
You will hear a buzzing sound each time the
icemaker fills with water.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the
water line to clear.
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.
NOTE: Set the power switch to the O (off) position
if the water supply is shut off.
Check the back of the refrigerator for the specific
icemaker kit needed for your model.
(on some models)
Locking the Dispenser
Press the LOCK pad for 3 seconds to lock
the dispenser and control panel. To unlock,
press and hold the pad again for 3 seconds.
(on some models)
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first
installed, there may be air in the water line system.
Press the dispenser button for at least 2 minutes to
remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the
water system. During this process, the dispenser noise
may be loud as the air is purged from the water line
system. To flush out impurities in the water line, throw
away the first 6 glassfuls of water.
NOTE: To avoid water deposits, the dispenser should
be cleaned periodically by wiping with a clean cloth
or sponge.
