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.”
