Fault Possible cause: Remedial action
Small ice cubes over a prolonged
period.
Wrong water pressure. Check water pressure. The water pressure must
be between 25 and 120 p.s.i. (1.72–8.25 bar).
A wrong water valve has been installed.
Self-tapping valves and
3
/
16
inch (4.76 mm)
saddle valves reduce the water pressure and
may eventually block the pipe.
Condensation forms on the
dispenser unit.
The ice maker is switched off (see
“Switching off the ice maker”). The
condensation heater does not function. You have to activate the condensation heater.
ˆ
Switch on the ice maker.
ˆ
Simultaneously hold down the lock out
and the agitation buttons for 3 seconds.
The water light and the ice cube light flash
twice.
The ice maker is switch off and the
condensation heater works.
To re-activate the condensation heater:
ˆ
Simultaneously hold down the lock out
and the agitation buttons for 3 seconds.
The water light and the ice cube light flash
once.
Ice cubes have an unpleasant
odor/flavor.
Ice which is stored for a long time may
absorb odors which impair their taste. Dispose of old ice cubes. Use the ice maker
more frequently.
The ice cube container is dirty. Empty and wash out the ice cube container.
Unsealed packages in the freezer transfer
odor/flavor particles to the ice cubes. Check whether the frozen food has been
packed in airtight containers. Clean the inside
of the appliance. See section on “Odors”.
Ice maker is not producing any
ice.
The ice cube container is in the false
position. Reinsert the container and slide it backwards to
the end position (see section “Variable interior
design”).
The water pressure is too low. Check water pressure. The water pressure must
be between 25 and 120 p.s.i. (1.72–8.25 bar).
The freezer compartment temperature is
too high. Check temperature of the freezer compart-
ment. If required, lower the temperature.
A wrong water valve has been installed. Self-tapping valves and 3/16 inch (4.76 mm)
saddle valves reduce the water pressure and
may eventually block the pipe.
The agitation function in the ice cube
container is switch off. The filling level
sensor is blocked. Pull-out and empty the ice cube container.
Remove the ice on the sensor.
Ice is not dispensed.
Two ice cubes can by chance be
attached to each other. These ice cubes,
when joined together, can block the ice
chute so that no further ice can be
dispensed. Open the door.
Remove all of the ice out of the ice chute.
