between ice maker and back 
of ice container. 

 

Ice cubes are frozen together.

position. When new ice is made, dispenser should 
operate.

Use the dispenser often so that cubes do not freeze 
together. 

 

The ice & water filter cartridge could be clogged. 
Replace the filter cartridge. Dispensing system 
operates best at 30 – 100 psi water pressure. Well 
water pressures should fall within this range.
