Ice maker
Problem
Possible causes
What to do
Ice maker is
not producing
enough ice or ice is
malformed.
Ice maker has just been
installed or a large amount
of ice has been used.
Wait 24 hours for ice production to begin or
for ice maker to restock after emptied.
Water pressure is too low.
Low water pressure can cause valve to leak.
Water pressure must be between 35 to 100
pounds per square inch to function properly.
A minimum pressure of 35 pounds per
square inch is recommended for refrigerators
with water filters.
Water filter is clogged or
needs to be changed.
Change water filter (see page 18).
Ice forms in inlet
tube to ice maker.
Water pressure is too low.
Water pressure must be between 35 to 100
pounds per square inch to function properly.
A minimum pressure of 35 pounds per
square inch is recommended for refrigerators
with water filters.
Saddle valve not open
completely.
Open saddle valve completely.
Freezer temperature is too
high.
See temperature controls, page 11. Freezer
temperature should be between 0° to 2° F
(-18° to -17° C).
Refrigerator is
leaking water.
Plastic tubing was used to
complete water connection.
It is recommended copper tubing is used
for installation. Plastic is less durable and
can cause leakages. The manufac turer is not
responsible for property damage due to
improper installation or faulty/leaky water
connection.
Improper water valve was
installed.
See connecting the water supply,
pages 8 – 9. Self-piercing and 3⁄16” (4.7 mm)
saddle valves cause low water pressure
and may clog the line over time. The
manufacturer is not responsible for property
damage due to improper installation or
water connection.
