AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER (Continued)
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.
•
Heavy traffic, opening
or closing of the doors
excessively.
• Freezer control is set too
warm.
• The
Frigidaire
ice maker produces
approximately 4 to 4.5 pounds of ice every
24 hours depending on usage conditions.
The
Frigidaire Gallery
ice maker
produces approximately 3 to 4 pounds of
ice every 24 hours depending on usage
conditions.
The
Frigidaire Professional
ice maker
produces approximately 2.5 to 3 pounds
every 24 hours depending on usage
conditions.
• If water dispenses slower than normal,
or if the filter is six months old or older, it
should be replaced.
• Ensure that the supply line does not kink
when the refrigerator is pushed into place
against the wall.
• Turn off household water line valve.
Remove valve. Ensure that valve is not
a self-piercing saddle valve. Clean valve.
Replace valve if necessary.
• Press Fast Freeze to temporarily increase
ice production rate. (Does not apply to
Frigidaire Professional.)
• Set freezer control to colder setting to
improve performance of the ice maker.
Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize.
Ice maker
will not stop
making ice
(select models).
• Ice maker wire signal arm
is being held down by a
package in the freezer
that has fallen against ice
maker. (Does not apply to
Frigidaire Professional.)
• Move any item or frozen ice cubes that
may block the signal arm from being in the
off or upward position. See Automatic Ice
Maker-Freezer section in manual.
Ice cubes
are freezing
together.
• Ice cubes are not being
used frequently enough
or interruption of power
for prolonged time.
• Ice cubes are small or
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 or
restricted water supply. Replace the water
filter and if the condition still occurs check
for a Saddle Valve, water valve not turned
on all the way or kinked water supply line.
