IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
REFRIGERATOR SAFETY INFORMATION
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All
safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and the word “DANGER”, “WARNING”, or “CAUTION”. These words are defined as:
DANGER
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
State of California Proposition 65 Warnings:
WARNING
and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
Do not place fingers or hands in the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in. This will help protect you from possible injury.
It will also prevent interference with moving parts of the ejector mechanism and the heating element that releases the cubes, located on the bottom of the icemaker.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

About the automatic icemaker.
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Power Switch
(Appearance may vary)
Icemaker
Feeler Arm
Automatic Icemaker
The icemaker will produce seven cubes
SHUF\FOH³DSSUR[LPDWHO\²
cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions.
If the refrigerator is operated before the water connection is made to the icemaker, set the power switch to OFF.
When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, set the power switch to 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.
Preparing for Vacation
Set the icemaker power switch to OFF and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.
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 and shrink.
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.
When you should set the icemaker power switch to OFF
When the ice storage bin is removed
for more than a minute or two.
When the water supply will be shut off
for several hours.
When the refrigerator will not be used for
several days.
Normal sounds you may hear
The icemaker water valve will buzz when
the icemaker fills with water. If the power switch is in the ON position, it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to water. Keeping the power switch in the ON position before it is hooked up to water can damage the icemaker. To prevent this, move the power switch to the OFF position. This will stop the buzzing.
The sound of cubes dropping into the bin
and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.

Before you call for service…
Troubleshooting Tips Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to call for service.
Problem Possible Causes What To Do
Automatic icemaker does not work
Freezer compartment too warm. After installing the kit, allow the refrigerator to completely
cool down for 24 hours. Once the compartment is cool, the icemaker will begin ice production.
Icemaker is not turned on. Move the icemaker
power switch to the
ON position.
Icemaker is not plugged in correctly.
Check that the icemakern cord plug is fully inserted into the socket. See Plug in the icemaker.

Troubleshooting Tips
Problem Possible Causes What To Do
Leaking water around the fill cup
Foam in the fill cup from installing the fill tube.
If the fill tube was installed by sliding it through the back of the refrigerator, it may have picked up pieces of foam as it was pushed through. This foam can interfere with the water flow in the fill cup. Check the cup and make sure there are no foam pieces.

Leaking water behind the refrigerator
Slow ice/freezer not cold enough
Ice cubes too small slow ice
Fill tube not correctly seated in the fill cup.
Check that the fill tube is correctly inserted in the fill cup opening. See Mount the icemaker.
House supply not properly connected to the water valve.
Water line not connected to the water tube inlet.
Check that the house supply is firmly attached to the water valve. See Water line installation instructions.
