About the automatic ice maker. A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice. Ice maker Feeler Arm Automatic Ice Maker* The ice maker will produce seven cubes per cycle approximately 100-130 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions. The ice maker 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. If the refrigerator is operated before the water line connection is made to the unit or if the water supply to an operating refrigerator is turned off, make sure that the ice maker is turned off. Once the water has been connected to the refrigerator, the ice maker may be turned on. See the table below for details. You may hear a buzzing sound each time the ice maker 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 ice maker 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 ice maker cycle multiple times when making one batch of ice. WARNING To minimize the risk of personal injury, avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.
