I just received my new GE ice maker. I just removed it from the box. When I move the front power switch from off to on the horizontal paddle stays locked in the off position. I thought that the paddle would spring forward, it doesn't. Is this normal? Do I need to install the ice maker and plug in the power to get the paddle to move forward so that the unit will produce ice? My assumption was that it is just a mechanical lever. Many thanks!
