Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support About the automatic icemaker. A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12-24 hours to begin making ice. GEAppliances.com There are 2 types of icemakers: Power Switch Icemaker Green Power Light Feeler Arm Power switch model Feeler Arm in the STOP Feeler Arm in (up) position the ON (down) position Feeler arm model Automatic Icemaker (on some models) The icemaker will produce approximately 3 to 31⁄2 lbs. of ice in a 24-hour period, depending on the freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions. There are two types of icemakers: power switch models and feeler arm models. If the refrigerator is operated before the water connection is made to the icemaker, set the power switch to O (off) or move the feeler arm to the STOP (up) position. When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, set the power switch to the I (on) position or move the feeler arm to the ON (down) position. On power switch models, the green light will come on. 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. 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.
