PROBLEM
Ice maker operates
but does not produce
any ice,
cont.
Ice cubes are too
small (less than
1
⁄
2
" thick).
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Room and/or water temperature is
too warm.
Leaking drain valve.
Inadequate drain system.
Grid cutter is unplugged.
Low ice consumption.
Not enough water in reservoir.
Distributor tube is restricted.
Build up of deposits on evaporator
plate.
Inadequate drain system.
Leaking drain valve.
Room temperature is too warm.
SOLUTION
Move the ice maker to an area where ambient
temperature is below 80° F. The ice maker
should not be placed next to a heat source such
as an oven. Check for cold water connection.
See
Cleaning the Ice Maker System
(page 11).
This will also dissolve and flush out foreign
material in the drain valve which may be causing
it to leak.
Restriction in drain lines will cause ice in the
bin to melt. If using a gravity drain, make
certain there are no kinks or restrictions in the
drain lines. If using a drain pump, check the
inlet screen, discharge line, and vent line for
any buildup or restrictions.
Remove the front cover panel and plug the
grid cutter into the receptacle on the side of
the liner.
Ice is slowly melting on the ice bin and will
affect the size of the ice cube. This is normal
operation. When the ice bin needs to be
replenished, cubes will return to regular size.
Make sure that the reservoir drain plug is
installed properly. Check the water line to the
ice maker to make sure there are no
restrictions or kinks. Check all filters to make
sure they are not restricted or plugged.

Cleaning the Ice Maker System

Restriction in drain lines will cause ice in the
bin to melt to a thinner cube. If using a gravity
drain, make certain there are no kinks or
restrictions in the drain lines. If using a drain
pump, check the inlet screen, discharge line,
and vent line for any build or restrictions.

Cleaning the Ice Maker System

This will also dissolve and flush out foreign
material in the drain valve which may be
causing it to leak.
Move to an area where temperature is below
80° F.
