Automatic Ice Maker - Freezer
Ice maker operation & 
care (select models)
After the refrigerator is installed properly, 
the ice maker can produce ice within 24 
hours. When using the ice maker for the first 
time, and in order for it to work properly, it is 
necessary to clear air from the water tubing 
and the filter. Furthermore, if the system is not 
flushed, the first ice cubes may be discolored 
or have an odd flavor. Once ice maker begins 
making ice, allow the bin to fill completely, 
then discard the first FULL bin of ice on a 
Standard Depth model, and the first TWO 
FULL bins of ice on a Counter Depth model.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity
This ice maker should produce between 2 and 
2.5 pounds of ice per 24 hours depending on 
usage conditions. In a Standard Depth model, 
the ice bin will hold about 12 pounds of ice. 
In a Counter Depth model the ice bin will hold 
about 7 pounds of ice.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory 
so it can work as soon as you install your 
refrigerator. If you cannot connect a water 
supply, lift the ice maker’s wire signal arm 
to turn it off. Otherwise, the ice maker’s fill 
valve may make a loud chattering noise 
when it attempts to operate without water.
Turning the ice maker on and off
Ice production is controlled by lifting/lowering 
the ice maker’s wire signal arm. To gain 
access to the ice maker, pull the freezer 
drawer out. Lift the wire signal arm to turn the 
ice maker OFF and lower the wire signal arm 
to turn it ON.
Cleaning the ice maker 
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular 
intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.
  1  Turn off the ice maker.
  2  Remove the ice bin.
  3  Empty and carefully clean the ice bin 
with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or 
abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clean water.
  4  Allow the ice bin to dry completely before 
replacing in the freezer.
  5  Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker on.
Remove and empty the ice bin if an extended 
power failure (one hour or longer) causes 
ice cubes in the ice bin to melt and refreeze 
together after power is restored.
Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the 
cubes or clean as explained above.
CAUTION
If the water supply to your refrigerator is 
softened, be sure the softener is properly 
maintained. Chemicals from a water 
softener can damage the ice maker.
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp 
instrument to break up the ice. This 
could damage the ice bin.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water. 
Before replacing the ice bin, make sure it 
is completely dry.
Ice maker tips
•  The following sounds are normal when 
the ice maker is operating:
 
-  Motor running 
 
-  Ice dropping into ice bin
 
-  Water valve opening or closing
 
-  Running water
•  Ice cubes stored too long may develop 
an odd flavor. Empty the ice bin as 
explained below.
Fast Freeze Function
Your refrigerator is equipped with a Fast 
Freeze Function for freezing food at a faster 
rate, but it can also increase ice production. 
This function terminates automatically after 12 
hours. This function affects only the ice maker 
in the freezer.
