Ice Maker Operation
1. Connect the refrigerator to the household water line. Turn on
the ice maker.
Style 1 - Push up on the latch on the left-hand side of the
ice compartment to open the door. The ice maker switch is
located on the left-hand side of the ice compartment.
• Move the switch to the (left) ON position.
Style 2 - Lower the wire shutoff arm to turn the ice maker
ON.
2. Wait 24 hours for the refrigerator to become cold
enough to make ice. If there is no ice after 48 hours, make
sure the water line is connected to the refrigerator, the
water supply is turned on and the ice maker is turned on.
3. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.
4. It will take approximately 2 to 3 days for the ice bin to fill
completely following installation.
NOTE: The ice maker should produce approximately 3 lbs
(1.4 kg) of ice per day under normal operation.
Ice Maker and Dispensers
Hollow ice cubes, slow or no water flow
If the ice cubes are hollow or have an irregular shape, or the
water flow decreases, it could be because of low water
pressure.
• Make sure the water filter is locked in its compartment.
Replace the water filter every 6 months or if it is clogged.
• Make sure you have adequate water supply pressure; check
the Reverse Osmosis (RO) system, if applicable.
• Make sure the water line is free of kinks and/or restrictions.
Dispenser or Ice System Jams, No/Slow/Little Ice Production or Dispensing, Ice
Clumping
• Ice shavings collect in the dispenser chute and may eventually lead to jams.
Occasionally dispense cubed ice to clean out the ice chute.
• If necessary, remove the ice clogging the storage bin and delivery chute, using a
plastic utensil.
• An ice cube may be jammed in the ice maker ejector. Remove ice from the ejector
arm using a plastic utensil.
• Warmth, humidity, or lack of use may cause the ice to clump. Dispense ice
regularly. If clumping occurs, clean the storage bin.
