Golly. Ice will not produce until the mold is cold enough. Then the
heater do jigger tosses it into the bucket.

I love America.

IDK how long it will take to get to 15F, but unless the freezer is loaded
full of warm stuff, I doubt it will take 24 hours. Also, I have doubts
about the 15F before it *adds* water for ice. Makes no sense to me.
I thought the process was mold gets filled with water, once a sensor
detects that the mold has dropped well below freezing (maybe that's the 15F)
indicating the cubes are hard, it turns on a heater, loosens them up,
pushes them out, then the mold refills.

"New Icemaker Not Producing Ice:

If the refrigerator icemaker has just been installed, there are a few things that must happen before it can produce ice:

- The refrigerator and icemaker must be at proper temperature.
- If just installed, the icemaker itself could take 24 hours to get
cold enough to produce ice.
- The icemaker must reach 15 degrees F before a cycle will begin."
