behind refrigerator

4
Possible Causes
Foam in the fill cup from
installing the fill tube.
Fill tube not correctly seated
in fill cup.
House supply not properly
connected to the water valve.
Water line not connected to the
water tube inlet.
Door left open.
Temperature control not
set cold enough.
Water shutoff valve connecting
refrigerator to house water line
may be clogged.
Water line is kinked.
Normal operation.
What To Do
• If the fill tube was installed by sliding it through the back
of the refrigerator, it may have picked up pieces of foam as
it was pushed through. This foam can interfere with the
water flow in the fill cup. Check the fill cup to make sure
there are no foam pieces.
• Check that the fill tube is
correctly inserted in the
fill cup opening. See
Mount the icemaker.
• Check that the house supply is firmly attached to the water
valve. See Water line installation instructions.
• Check that the plastic
water line running from
the valve to the water
tube inlet is firmly
attached with the hose
clamp. See Connect the
water line.
• Check to see if package is holding door open.
• See About the Temperature Control.
• We recommend drilling a 1/4" hole
in the water pipe to connect the water
shutoff valve. Failure to drill a 1/4" hole
may result in reduced ice production or
smaller cubes. See Installing the water line.
• Check that the plastic
water line running from
the valve to the water tube
inlet is not kinked. See
Mount the icemaker. A kink
in the line will restrict water
flow to the icemaker.
• During normal opeation, the water valve will "buzz"
when the icemaker fills with water.
