CONCERN POTENTIAL CAUSE COMMON SOLUTION
AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER
Ice maker is not mak-
ing any ice.
• Ice maker is turned o.
• Refrigerator is not connected to wa-
ter line or water valve is not open.
• The water supply line is kinked.
• The water lter is not seated
properly.
• The water lter may be clogged
with foreign material.
• Saddle valve on cold water pipe
is clogged or restricted by for-
eign material.
• Turn on ice maker. For the fresh food ice maker, press
and hold the “Ice O” button for 4 seconds until the
indicator turns o. For the freezer ice maker, lower
the wire signal arm.
• Connect the unit to the household water supply and
ensure the supply valve is open.
• Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the
refrigerator is pushed into place against the wall.
• Remove and re-install the water lter. Be sure to push the
lter rmly so that you hear it lock solidly into position.
• If water dispenses slowly or not at all, or if the lter is
six (6) months old or older, it should be replaced.
• Turn o household water line valve. Remove valve.
Ensure that valve is not a self-piercing saddle valve.
Clean valve. Replace valve if necessary.
Ice maker is not mak-
ing 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 for-
eign material.
• The fresh food and freezer ice makers will each
produce approximately 2.5 pounds of ice every 24
hours depending on usage conditions.
• If water dispenses slower than normal, or if the lter is
six (6) 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 o household water line valve. Remove valve.
Ensure that valve is not a self-piercing saddle valve.
Clean valve. Replace valve if necessary.
Freezer ice maker will
not stop making ice.
• Ice maker wire signal arm is be-
ing held down by some package
in the freezer that has fallen
against the ice maker.
• Move the item and release wire signal arm. Remove
any ice cubes that may have frozen together over the
wire signal arm.
Ice cubes are freezing
together.
• Ice cubes are not being used
frequently enough.
• 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. Replace the water lter.
