refrigerator will produce ice when the
refrigerator is plugged in to a power
receptacle.

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.

temperature to stabilize.

compartment .

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

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.
