Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage
the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft water,
ensure that the softener is maintained and working
properly.
ICE PRODUCTION: WHAT TO EXPECT
The ice maker will produce 2.5 to 3 pounds of ice every 24
hours depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a
rate of 8 cubes every 80 to 160 minutes.

TURNING YOUR ICE MAKER OFF
To stop the ice maker, lift the wire
signal arm until it clicks and
locks in the “up” or OFF position.
The ice maker also turns off
automatically when the ice
container is full. If your model
has an adjustable freezer shelf,
place the shelf in the lower
position, so that the wire signal
arm will hit the ice when the
container is full.

Small Ice cubes or ice chips jamming in the ice maker
may be a sign that your water filter needs changing. If
you have a side mounted ice maker you may also
experience hollow cubes — partially frozen cubes with
water inside. When these cubes are harvested they
break open and spill water over the other ice cubes in
the ice container, forming a solid mass of ice. As the
water filter nears the end of its useful life and becomes
clogged with particles, less water is delivered to the
ice maker during each cycle. The ice maker can’t fill
every cube in the ice maker mold, leading to small
cubes or chips that can get caught between the ice
ejector blades and the stripper.
Remember, if your
ice maker is jamming with small ice cubes or it’s
been six months or longer since you last changed
your water filter – replace the water filter with a
new one. Poor quality household water may require
the filter to be changed more frequently.
