Solution
•
Water pressure may be to low or high. Ice maker requires a water pressure of 20-120 psi to function
properly.
•
Confirm ice maker arm is down. See "Automatic
Ice Maker" section.
•
Confirm household water supply is reaching water valve. Make sure the water valve shut off is fully
turned on.
•
Confirm ice maker wiring harness is inserted completely
in proper holes.
•
Check for kinks in copper or plastic tubing. Remove kinks or replace tubing.
•
Check electrical connections
to water valve coil and connector block on refrigerator cabinet.
•
If a water filter has been installed on the water line outside the refrigerator,
check the filter for clogs or
improper installation of the filter.
•
Ice maker has just recently been installed or a large amount of ice has just been used. Wait 24 hours
for ice production to begin and for ice maker to restock after emptied.
•
Confirm household water supply is reaching water valve. Make sure the water valve shut off is fully
turned on.
•
Piercing type or Sly6"saddle valve was used for hookup. Both reduce water flow and may become
clogged with time. Replace these valves with correct type of saddle valve requiring ¼" hole to be drilled
in water supply pipe prior to valve attachment.

Check for kinks in copper or plastic tubing. Remove kinks or replace tubing
