Concern Potential Cause

Common Solution

Automatic Ice Maker (Cont’d)

Ice maker is

not making

enough ice.

• Ice maker is producing

less ice than you

expect.

• The water filter may be

clogged with foreign

material.

• The water supply line is

kinked.

• Saddle valve on cold

water pipe is clogged

or restricted by foreign

material.

• Heavy traffic, opening

or closing of the doors

excessively.

• Freezer control is set

too warm (freezer ice

maker).

• Water pressure is

extremely low. Cut-off

and cut-on pressures

are too low (well

systems only).

• Reverse osmosis

system is in

regenerative phase.

• The freezer ice maker will produce

approximately 2.0 to 2.5 LBS

and the refrigerator ice maker

will produce 3.0 to 3.2 LBS every

24 hours depending on usage

conditions.

• If water dispenses slower than

normal, or if the filter is six months

old or older, it should be replaced.

• Ensure that the supply line does

not kink when the refrigerator is

pushed into place against the wall.

• Turn off household water line valve.

Remove valve. Clean valve. Replace

valve if necessary.

• Press Quick Freeze/Freeze

Boost to temporarily increase ice

production rate. (Freezer ice maker

only.)

• Set freezer control to colder setting

to improve performance of the ice

maker (freezer ice maker). Allow 24

hours for temperature to stabilize.

• Have someone turn up the cut-off

and cut-on pressure on the water

pump system (well systems only).

• It is normal for a reverse osmosis

system to be below 20 psi during

the regenerative phase.

Freezer ice

maker will

not stop

making

ice (select

models).

• Ice maker bail arm is

being held down by a

package in the freezer

that has fallen against

ice maker.

• Move any item or frozen ice cubes

that may block the bail arm from

being in the off or upward position.

See Automatic Ice Maker-Freezer

section in manual.

Ice cubes

are freezing

together.

• Ice cubes are not

being used frequently

enough or interruption

of power for prolonged

time.

• Ice cubes are hollow

(shells of ice with water

inside). The hollow

cubes break open in

the bin and leak their

water onto existing

ice, which causes it to

freeze together.

• Remove ice container and discard

ice. The ice maker will produce

fresh supply. Ice should be used

at least twice weekly to keep the

cubes separated.

• This generally occurs when the

ice maker does not get enough

water. This is usually the result of

a clogged water filter or restricted

water supply. Replace the water

filter and if the condition still

occurs check for a clogged Saddle

Valve, water valve not turned on

all the way or kinked water supply

line.
