IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can
work as soon as you install your refrigerator. If you
do not fill the water tank, set the ice maker’s On/
Off feature to Off; otherwise, the ice maker’s fill
valve may make a loud chattering noise when it
attempts to operate without water.
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s On/Off
feature on the control panel. Pressing the On/Off
feature turns the ice maker on & off.
NOTE: The ice maker also has a built-in plastic
signal arm that automatically stops ice production
when the ice bin is full. This signal arm should not
be used to manually stop the ice maker.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker simply disables ice making.
You will still be able to dispense existing ice, and
you will still be able to dispense water.
