Automatic Icemaker

(on some models)
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 to O (off) .
When the refrigerator 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 15°F. 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.
Icemaker Accessory Kit
If your refrigerator did not already come
equipped with an automatic icemaker,
an icemaker accessory kit is available at
extra cost.
Water Filter Accessory
The water filter is an option at extra cost
and is available from your dealer. Specify
WR97X0214. It has complete installation
instructions and installs on 1/4" O.D.
copper water line or plastic tubing that is
included in a GE SmartConnect™
Refrigerator Tubing kit. When using the
plastic tubing, an additional piece of plastic
tubing (WX08X10002) must also be
ordered since the plastic tubing should not
be cut.
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 ice cubes get stuck in the icemaker, the
green power light will blink. To correct this,
set the power switch to O (off) and remove
the cubes. Set the power switch to I (on) to
restart the icemaker. After the icemaker has
been turned on again, there will be a delay
of about 45 minutes before the icemaker
resumes operation.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple
times when making one batch of ice.
Check the back of the refrigerator
for the specific icemaker kit needed for
your model.
NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is that
supplied in GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing
kits. Do not use any other plastic water supply line
because the line is under pressure at all times.
Certain types of plastic will crack or rupture with
age and cause water damage to your home.
