Concern Potential Cause Common Solution
Automatic Ice Maker (Cont’d)
Ice maker is
not making
enough ice.
• Ice maker is producing less
ice than you expect.
• The water lter 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 trafc, opening
or closing of the doors
excessively.
• Freezer control is set too
warm (freezer ice maker).
• Water pressure is extremely
low. Cut-off and cut-on
pressures are too low (well
systems only).
• Reverse osmosis system is in
regenerative phase.
• The ice maker will produce approximately
2.0 to 2.5 pounds of ice every 24 hours
depending on usage conditions.
• If water dispenses slower than normal,
or if the lter 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. Clean valve. Replace valve
if necessary.
• Press Fast Freeze to temporarily increase
ice production rate. (Freezer ice maker
only.)
• Set freezer control to colder setting to
improve performance of the ice maker
(freezer ice maker). Allow 24 hours for
temperature to stabilize.
• Have someone turn up the cut-off and
cut-on pressure on the water pump
system (well systems only).
• It is normal for a reverse osmosis
system to be below 20 psi during the
regenerative phase.
Freezer 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.
• 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 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 lter or
restricted water supply. Replace the water
lter and if the condition still occurs check
for a clogged Saddle Valve, water valve
not turned on all the way or kinked water
supply line.
