On power switchmodels, the green light will come on.You will hear a buzzing sound each timethe icemaker fills with water.The icemaker will fill with water when itcools to 15°F. A newly-installed refrigeratormay take 12 to 24 hours to begin makingice cubes.Throw away the first few batches of ice toallow the water line to clear.Be sure nothing interferes with the sweepof the feeler arm.When the bin fills to the level of the feelerarm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.It is normal for several cubes to be joinedtogether.If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubeswill become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.On power switch models, the green powerlight will blink if ice cubes get stuck in theicemaker. To correct this, set the powerswitch to O (off) and remove the cubes. Setthe power switch to I (on) to restart theicemaker. After the icemaker has beenturned on again, there will be a delay ofabout 45 minutes before the icemakerresumes operation.NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average waterpressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multipletimes when making one batch of ice.Feeler Arm inthe STOP(up) positionFeeler Arm inthe ON (down)positionFeeler arm modelPower switch model
