refrigerator compartment is blocked by items placed
directly in front of it, the refrigerator will get too cold.

Ice and Water
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTIONS
The ice maker is not
producing ice or is not
producing enough ice
The refrigerator is not connected to a
water supply or the water supply shutoff
valve is not turned on.
Connect refrigerator to water supply and turn water shutoff
valve fully open.
There is a kink in the water source line. A kink in the line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water
source line.
The ice maker is not turned on. Make sure the ice maker is on. See “Ice Maker and Ice
Storage Bin.”
The refrigerator has just been installed. Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation for ice production to
begin. Wait 3 days for full ice production.
The refrigerator door is not closed
completely.
Close the door firmly. If it does not close completely, see “The
doors will not close completely.”
A large amount of ice was recently
removed.
Allow sufficient time for ice maker to produce more ice. See
“Ice Maker and Ice Storage Bin” for ice production rates.
An ice cube is jammed in the ice maker
ejector arm.
Remove ice from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil.
A water filter is installed on the refrigerator. Remove the water filter and operate the ice maker. If ice
volume improves, then the filter may be clogged or incorrectly
installed. Replace filter or reinstall it correctly.
A reverse osmosis water filtration system
is connected to your cold water supply.
This can decrease water pressure See “Water Supply
Requirements.”
