Agree.. Make sure the "bail wire" over the ice catcher tray is in the down position. Throw out the first few loads of ice. They might have a funny taste.

We had a standing joke at the maintenance department:

Where did you buy this refrigerator? At "Manny's Cut Rate Appliances"? The "gold prongs" should have been connected at the factory, NOT by the installers or you. And any "good" installer knows how to turn on the water supply to the icemaker.
