2

temperature difference may cause it to break.

3
remove the glass cover before you take
out the drawer frame.)
Lift the frame off the supports at each side
and back, pull it forward, tilt it and take it out.
Automatic Icemaker
(on some models)
The icemaker will produce approximately
100–130 cubes in a 24-hour period,
depending on the 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, move the
feeler arm to 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 15°F. A newly-installed refrigerator may take
12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes.
Once the icemaker starts to make ice,
it may take up to 48 hours to fill the bin,
depending on the temperature settings
and number of door openings.
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.
(on some models)
Slide the control all the way to the LOW
setting to provide lower humidity levels
recommended for most fruits.
To replace:
Lower the frame until it rests on the
1
supports at each side and back.
Replace the glass cover, pushing its rear
2
edge firmly into the rear frame channel
and gently lowering the front into place.
Replace the drawers.
3
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, shrink or
fuse together.
On power switch models, the green power
light will blink if ice cubes get stuck in the
icemaker. To correct this, set the power
switch to O (off) and remove the cubes. Set
the power switch to I (on) to restart the
icemaker. After the icemaker has been
turned on again, there will be a delay of
about 45 minutes before the icemaker
resumes operation.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple
times when making one batch of ice.
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.
