Icemaker is not
making enough
ice (continued).
Doors are opened often or for
long periods of time.
If the doors of the unit are opened often, ambient
air will warm the refrigerator which will prevent
the unit from maintaining the set temperature.
Lowering the refrigerator temperature can help,
as well as not opening the doors as frequently.
Doors are not closed
completely.
If the doors are not properly closed, ice
production will be affected. See the Doors will
not close completely or pop open section in Parts
& Features Troubleshooting for more information.
The temperature setting for the
freezer is too warm.
The recommended temperature for the freezer
compartment for normal ice production is
minimum -18 degrees. If the freezer temperature
is warmer, ice production will be affected.
Dispensing water
slowly.
Water filter has become
clogged and congested.
It is recommended that you replace the water
filter:
Approximately every six months.
•
When the water filter indicator turns on.
•
When the water dispenser output decreases.
•
When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.
•
Reverse osmosis filtration
system is used.
Reverse osmosis filtration systems can reduce
the water pressure below the minimum amount
and result in icemaker issues.
If the problem persists, it may be necessary to
contact a plumber or install a booster pump to
compensate for the low pressure.
Low house water supply
pressure.
The water pressure must be between 20 and 120
psi on models without a water filter and between
40 and 120 psi on models with a water filter.
If the problem persists, it may be necessary to
contact a plumber or install a booster pump to
compensate for the low pressure.
