Automatic Ice Maker (Cont'd)
Ice maker is
•
not making
enough ice.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Freezer ice
•
maker will
not stop
making
ice (select
models).
Ice cubes
•
are freezing
together.
•
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 (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.
Ice maker wire signal
arm is being held down
by a package in the
freezer that has fallen
against ice maker.
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.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Common Solution
•
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 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. 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.
•
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.
•
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 clogged Saddle Valve,
water valve not turned on all the
way or kinked water supply line.
