Before Using the In-Door Icemaker

Note
  • Ice is made in the automatic in-door icemaker and sent to the dispenser. The icemaker produces 55 - 143 mini craft ice pieces in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other operating conditions.

  • It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed refrigerator to begin making ice.

  • Ice-making stops when the in-door ice bin is full. When full, the in-door ice bin holds approximately 6 to 8 (12-16 oz.) glasses of ice.

  • Foreign substances or frost on the auto shutoff (feeler arm) can interrupt ice production. Make sure the auto shutoff (feeler arm) area is clean at all times for proper operation.

  • To increase ice production, use the Ice Plus function. The function increases both ice making and freezing capabilities.

  • If the water pressure is less than 20 psi (138 kPa) or a reverse osmosis system is used, the shape of the ice may vary.

  • The time needed to make ice may vary according to operating conditions.

  • If left in the bin for a long time, the ice may change its shape.
