[] PREPARE FORINSTALLATION (cont.)

• Inside the freezer, remove the two small white plug buttons (on some models) from the side

wall. (If screws are present instead of plugs,

leave them in place.)

• Remove and discard the large white plug

from the rear freezer

wall. Pull out the gray

insulation plug and remove any debris.

• Remove the outlet plugbutton cover with a flat-blade

screwdriver.

[] INSTALL FILL TUBE

• Slide the fill tube shipped

with the refrigerator onto the water tube inlet (10). If the fill

tube has been misplaced, call

1.800.626.2002 and order part

WR02X11712.

• Go to the back of the refrigerator. Remove the label covering the

hole. Pull out the insulation plug and any debris.

• On the tube side of the water tube inlet (10), there is an adhesive backing. Remove the adhesive backing and slide the

• Remove the ice bucket

by pulling it out and lifdng it up and out.

• Remove the center

vertical shelf support

(on some models) by

lifting it and rotating its bottom to the right.

[]SET POWER SWITCH TO O (off)

Set the icemaker power switch to O (off). Leave the power switch in the O (off) position until the

refrigerator is connected to the water supply to prevent premature operation.

Installation Instructions

[] INSTALL THE MOUNTING SCREWS

• Skip to Step 5 if screws are already in place in

the freezer side wall.

• Install two self-tapping Phillips

head screws (9) from the kit in the holes in the side wall.

The screw heads should extend about 1/2" (13 ram) from the

side wall.

[] INSTALL THE ICEMAKER FILL CUP

Install the icemaker f'dl cup (side-mounted) (11) into the icemaker as shown.

[] MOUNT THE ICEMAKER

• Lift the icemaker so the t'fll tube shipped with the

refrigerator fits in the fill cup opening (E). Hang

the ieemaker on the two mounting screws (9) in the side wall.

Make sure:

• The power cord is still firmly in the socket.

• The f'dl tube extends into the fill cup opening on

the back of the icemaker. (Check the rear of the refrigerator to make sure the fill tube has not been pushed out of the back of the refrigerator),

• The icemaker mounting screws are located in the uppermost position of the mounting slots.

• The icemaker is level.

• The icemaker power switch is set to O (off).

THEN SECURELY TIGHTEN THE ICEMAKER

MOUNTING SCREWS.

[]PLUG IN THE ICEMAKER

Holding the icemaker in place, insert the ieemaker

power cord plug into the socket on the rear wall,

making sure the prongs and holes are matched. Press the plug firmly into the socket. Lock the plug

in place by clipping the restraints onto each side of the plug. Make sure the restraints click into place. Make sure the power cord is still in the hook on

the back of the icemaker.

[] A1-FACH THE WATER VALVE

• Locate the female connector plug (C).

• Plug the female connector (C) onto the male

terminals on the water valve (3). Either wire can go on either terminal.

• Fasten the water valve to the cabinet by driving the hex-head screw (8) from the kit into the

hole in the cabinet leg.

[] WATER VALVE INSTALLED

Refer to the Water Line Installation Instructions for connection to the home water supply. After water

line installation is completed, set the ieemaker power switch to I (on).

Even when the icemaker power switch is in the I (on) position, power to the icemaker will be

interrupted when the freezer door/drawer is open. This prevents ice ejecting from the icemaker from

missing the ice bucket and dropping into the back of the freezer. Because power to the icemaker is

interrupted while the door/drawer is open, the green power light on the icemaker will be off. To

make sure the icemaker is working properly, press the freezer light switch located on the upper right

side of the freezer compartment. The power light on the icemaker will come on.

Note: After installing the icemaker, do not open the door/drawer for approximately 4 hours. This will allow the freezer to reach the correct operating temperature for making ice, and will prevent water from spilling out of the icemaker mold.

direcdy in line with the water valve, drive the

About the automatic icemaker. ptia,,,,om

A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.

temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions.

i If the refrigerator is operated before the

.................. water connection is made to the icemaker,

set the power switch to O (off).

When the refrigez-ator has been connected

to the water supply, set the power switch to I (on). The green light will come on.

The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to freezing. A newly-installed

refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes.

Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.

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

and shrink.

If ice cubes get stuck in the icemaker, the

green power light will blink. To correct

this, set the power switch to 0 (off) and

remove the cubes. Set the power switch to

I (on) to restart the icemaker.

NOTE:In homes with lower-than-averagewater

pressure,youmay hear theicemaker cyclemultiple

times whenmaking onebatch of ice.

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm.

Preparing for Vacation

Set the icemaker power switch to 0 (off) and shut off the water supply to the

refrigerator.

If the temperature can drop below freezing, have a qualified servicer drain the water

supply system (on some models) to prevent serious property damage due to flooding.

WHICH INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD YOU FOLLOW?

There is a label on the back of the refrigerator

that will tell you whether to use Instructions:

ARE YOU REPLACING AN ICEMAKER WITH THIS KIT?

It's important that you use the water valve and fill tube extension that come with this kit, even though your

refrigerator may already have them installed.

The old valve will not allow enough water through to fill the icemaker properly and cause damage.

The fill tube extension needs to be a different length

than the original tube for proper water flow. Cut the tube to the length indicated for your model of

refrigerator.

DAMAGE - SHIPMENT/INSTALLATION
