Turning the Ice Maker On/Off - Double Drawer Refrigerator

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off 

IMPORTANT: Use the Icemaker touch pad on the control panel to turn on or off the ice maker. Do not adjust the wire arm located on the icemaker.

  • Press the ICEMAKER touch pad to turn on the ice maker. The indicator light will illuminate when On.
  • Press the ICEMAKER touch pad to turn off the ice maker.

REMEMBER:

  • Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
  • The quality of your ice will only be as good as the quality of the water supplied to your ice maker.
  • Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained.
  • Do not store anything in the ice storage bin.
  • When the refrigerator is turned ON for the first time, ice maker is turned OFF. (The ice maker indicator light will dim).
  • After confirming that water can be automatically supplied to the ice maker (connecting the refrigerator to the water source or replacing the water filter, press the ICEMAKER touchpad to turn on the ice maker. (The indicator light will iluminate). When the water cannot be supplied automatically (not connecting to the water source, etc.) and the ice box is not filled with ice, if the ice maker is turned ON, the ice maker will continue to operate and the internal heater of ice maker will operate frequently. This will heat up the refrigerator, increasing the compressor running rate and power consumption. If you do not need the ice making (including not automatically supplying water), you should turn OFF the ice maker (The indicator light will dim).
