Truth or Myth? Answer Explanation
The automatic ice maker in my
refrigerator will produce ice when the
refrigerator is plugged in to a power
receptacle.
MYTH The refrigerator must be connected to water, and the ice maker must be turned
on. Make sure the ice maker is turned on, only after the water line is connected
and water is turned on. The ice maker can be turned off by switching it to the OFF
position.
The freezer must be 15 degrees or colder before the icemaker will produce ice.
Please allow at least 24 hou rs for the refrigerator to pull down and the unit’s
temperature to stabilize.
I will never see frost inside the freezer
compartment .
MYTH Frost inside the freezer typically indicates that the door is not properly sealed,
or has been left open. If frost is found, clear the frost using a plastic spatula and
towel, then check to ensure that no food packages or containers are preventing
the freezer door from closing. To help r educe to the potential for frost please make
sure there is proper clearance to the air supply and vents in the freezer to improve
circulation. Always cover food before loading into the refrigerator, moisture from
open containers can add to the frost load.
