4.3 Ice Tray Setup

Begin by removing the tray from its storage compartment. Inspect the tray for scratches or debris and clean with warm, soapy water. Slide the tray into the designated slot, feeling for a snug fit. The tray should sit flush with the ice maker’s interior wall, preventing any wobble that could affect ice formation.

Check the tray’s alignment by placing a small piece of paper on the ice maker’s floor. If the paper slides, reposition the tray until it stays in place. Proper alignment guarantees even ice distribution across all molds.

Next, adjust the tray’s height by rotating the mounting bracket. The bracket should lock in place when the tray is at the correct level, typically indicated by a small notch or marker. Adjustment ensures water level reaches the molds overflowing.

Once the tray is correctly positioned, close the door and secure it with the latch. The latch should click firmly, indicating a secure seal. A well‑sealed door prevents air from entering, which can cause uneven ice texture. Test the seal by gently pulling the door open; it should resist opening easily.

Finally, run a test cycle. Observe the ice formation process. The ice should fill each mold uniformly and release cleanly. If the ice appears lumpy or does not release, adjust the tray height slightly and re‑run the cycle. Consistent tray placement is key to optimal performance. Enjoy your perfectly formed ice! Regularly wipe the tray to prevent mold and keep it dry between uses.
