- On dispenser models with a tilt-out ice bin, lift the bin and pull it forward until it stops, then lower it to reach the icemaker power switch.
- Set the power switch to OFF before the water connection is made, or when removing stuck cubes or removing the bin.
- Set the power switch to ON once the refrigerator is connected to the water supply, and put the bin back in place before closing the door.
- To restore the ice level from an empty bucket, dispense 3 to 4 cubes 12 hours after the first batch falls into the bin, and again after 6 more hours.
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes. Throw away the first few batches of ice.
