SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
Do not place fingers or hands in the automatic
icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in. This will help protect you from
possible injury.
It will also prevent interference with moving
parts of the ejector mechanism and the heating
element that releases the cubes, located on the
bottom of the icemaker.

■The icemaker water valve will buzz when
the icemaker fills with water. If the power
switch is in the I(on) position, it will buzz
even if it has not yet been hooked up to
water. Keeping the power switch in the
I(on) position before it is hooked up to
water can damage the icemaker. To
prevent this, move the power switch to
the O(off) position. This will stop
the buzzing.
■The sound of cubes dropping into the bin
and water running in the pipes as the
icemaker refills.
About the automatic icemaker. GEAppliances.com
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Icemaker
Feeler Arm
Power
Switch 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 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 freezing. 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.
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.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple
times when making one batch of ice.
Green Power Light
Preparing for Vacation
Set the icemaker power switch to O(off)
and shut off the water supply to the
refrigerator.
If the temperature can drop below freezing,
have a qualified servicer drain the water
supply system (on some models) to prevent
serious property damage due to flooding.
When you should set the icemaker power switch to O(off)
■When the ice storage bin is removed for
more than a minute or two.
■When the water supply will be shut off for
several hours.
■When the refrigerator will not be used for
several days.

Installation IM-4A
Instructions Icemaker Kit
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
•IMPORTANT – Save these
instructions for local inspector’s use.
•IMPORTANT – Observe all
governing codes and ordinances.
•Note to Installer – Be sure to leave these
instructions with the Consumer.
•Note to Consumer – Keep these instructions
for future reference.

It’s important that you use the water valve and fill tube
extension that come with this kit, even though your
refrigerator may already have them installed.
The old valve will not allow enough water through
to fill the icemaker properly and will cause damage.
The fill tube extension needs to be a different length
than the original tube for proper water flow. Cut the
tube to the length indicated for your model of
refrigerator.
