About the automatic icemaker.

Automatic Icemaker
The icemaker will produce seven cubes
per cycle—approximately 100–130 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 in the OFF position.
When the refrigerator has been connected
to the water supply, set the power switch
to the ON position.
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools
to 15°F (–10°C). A newly installed refrigerator
may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making
ice cubes.
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.
Special note about dispenser models:
Dispenser models have a tilt-out ice bin.
The bin can be tilted out as shown in the
illustrations, and it will hold itself up while
you take ice out or turn the icemaker
power switch on and off. Be sure to put the
bin back in place before closing the door.
To restore your ice level from an empty
bucket stage, the following steps are
recommended:
12 hours after the first batch of ice has
fallen into the bin, dispense 3 to 4 cubes.
After an additional 6 hours, dispense
3 to 4 cubes again.
These steps will restore your ice level in
the shortest amount of time.
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Pull the bin forward until the
bin stops.
Removing Ice Bin (dispenser models)
CAUTION: The ice bin is heavy when full.
Set the power switch to the OFF position
before removing the bin.
When replacing the bin, be sure to press
it firmly into place. If it does not go all the
way back, remove it and rotate the drive
mechanism 1/4 turn. Then push the bin
back again.
