Automatic Ice Maker
Concern
Potential Cause
Common Solution
Ice maker is not making
any ice.
• Ice maker is turned off.
• Refrigerator is not connected to water line or
water valve is not open.
• The water supply line is kinked.
• The water filter is not seated properly.
• The water filter may be clogged with foreign
material.
• Saddle valve on cold water pipe is clogged or
restricted by foreign material.
• Turn on ice maker. For the fresh food ice maker, press
and hold the
Ice Off
button for 4 seconds until the
indicator turns off. For the freezer ice maker, lower the
wire signal arm.
• Connect the unit to the household water supply and
ensure the supply valve is open.
• Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the refrig-
erator is pushed into place against the wall.
• Remove and re-install the water filter. Be sure to push
the filter firmly so that you hear it lock solidly into posi-
tion.
• If water dispenses slowly or not at all, or if the filter is six
(6) months old or older, it should be replaced.
• Turn off household water line valve. Remove valve. En-
sure that valve is not a self-piercing saddle valve. Clean
valve. Replace valve if necessary.
Ice maker is not making
enough ice.
• Ice maker is producing less ice than you
expect.
• The water filter may be clogged with foreign
material.
• The water supply line is kinked.
• Saddle valve on cold water pipe is clogged or
restricted by foreign material.
• The fresh food and freezer ice makers will each produce
approximately 2.5 pounds of ice every 24 hours
depending on usage conditions.
• If water dispenses slower than normal, or if the filter is
six (6) months old or older, it should be replaced.
• Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the refrig-
erator is pushed into place against the wall.
• Turn off household water line valve. Remove valve. En-
sure that valve is not a self-piercing saddle valve. Clean
valve. Replace valve if necessary.
Freezer ice maker will not
stop making ice.
• Ice maker wire signal arm is being held down
by some package in the freezer that has fallen
against the ice maker.
• Move the item and release wire signal arm. Remove any
ice cubes that may have frozen together over the wire
signal arm.
Ice cubes are freezing
together.
• Ice cubes are not being used frequently
enough.
• Ice cubes are hollow (shells of ice with water
inside). The hollow cubes break open in the
bin and leak their water onto existing ice,
which causes it to freeze together.
• Remove ice container and discard ice. The ice maker will
produce fresh supply. Ice should be used at least twice
weekly to keep the cubes separated.
• This generally occurs when the ice maker does not get
enough water. This is usually the result of a clogged
water filter. Replace the water filter.
