About the automatic icemaker. A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12-24 hours to begin making ice. Icemaker Automatic Icemaker (on some models) Power Switch Feeler Arm When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, slide the power switch to the ON position. The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to 15°F. When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice. Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm. Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear. The icemaker will produce seven cubes SHUF\FOH³DSSUR[LPDWHO\² cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions. You will hear a buzzing sound each time the icemaker fills with water. About the water filter cartridge. (On some models.)
