Using the automatic ice maker

(optional accessory)

If your refrigerator has an automatic ice

maker, or if you plan to add one later, here

are a few things you will want to know.

• The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.

DOWN to make ice automatically

UP to shut off ice maker

IMPORTANT: Do not turn the ice maker

ON until it is connected to a water supply.

Instructions for water supply hookup

are attached to the back of the refrig

erator cabinet.

• If you remove the ice bin, raise the signal

arm to the OFF position. When you

replace the bin, push it all the way in and

lower the signal arm to the ON position.

• Good water quality is important for good

ice quality. Try to avoid connecting the

ice maker to a softened water supply.

Water softener chemicals (such as salt

from a malfunctioning softener) can

damage the ice maker mold and lead to

poor ice quality. If a softened water supply

cannot be avoided, make sure the water

softener is operating properly and is well

maintained.

Solving common ice maker problems

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Ice crescents attached

at corners

• This is normal. They break apart easily. Shake bin occasion

ally to keep cubes separated.

Ice maker will not

operate or ice is not

made fast enough

• ON/OFF lever is in the OFF (up) position. Lower lever to the

ON (down) position.

• Freezer is not cold enough. Adjust temperature controls and

wait 24 hours. (See “Changing the control settings” on

page 9.)

Off-taste or odor in ice • New plumbing connections can cause discolored or off-

flavored ice. Discard the first few batches of ice.

• Cubes are stored too long. Throw them away and make a

new supply.

• Foods in freezer are not wrapped properly. See “Food

Storage Guide” on pages 18 and 19.

• Freezer and ice bin need to be cleaned. See pages

14 and 15.
