Common Solution
Automatic Ice Maker
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.
• Freezer ice maker wire
signal arm is being held
up by an item not allowing
it to go in the on or down
position.
• Turn on ice maker. For the fresh food
ice maker, press ice maker on-off
once. For the freezer ice maker,
lower the arm to turn the ice maker
on, or raise it and snap it in its upper
position to turn the ice maker off.
• Connect the unit to the household
water supply and ensure the water
valve is open.
• Ensure that the supply line does not
kink when the refrigerator is pushed
into place against the wall.
• Remove and re-install the water
filter. Be sure to rotate it fully into the
locked position position.
• If water dispenses slowly or not at
all, or if the filter is six months old or
older, it should be replaced.
• Move any item or frozen ice cubes
that may block the signal arm from
being in the on or down position.
Additionally, the ice bin itself may be
out of position so that it prevents the
signal arm from dropping all the way
down. Be sure the bin is pushed all
the way to the rear of the shelf. See
Automatic Ice Maker-Freezer section
in manual.
