The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice

Has the ice maker just been installed? Wait 72 hours for full ice production to begin. Once your refrigerator is cooled, the ice maker should produce 70-120 cubes every 24 hours.

Is the freezer temperature cold enough to produce ice? Wait 24 hours after hookup for ice production. See “Using the Control(s),” depending on the model.

Is the wire shutoff arm in the OFF (arm up) position? Lower the wire shutoff arm to the ON (arm down) position. See “Ice Maker.”

Is the water line shutoff valve to the refrigerator turned on? Turn on the water valve. See “Connect the Water Supply.”

Does the ice maker mold have water in it or has no ice been produced? Be sure your refrigerator has been connected to a water supply and the supply shutoff valve is turned on. See “Connect the Water Supply.”

Is an ice cube jammed in the ejector arm? Remove the ice from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil. See “Ice Maker.”

Has a large amount of ice just been removed? Allow 24 hours for ice maker to produce more ice.

Is the control set correctly? If too little ice is produced, see “Using the Control(s),” depending on the model.

Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The filter may be full or incorrectly installed. Depending on your model, remove the water filter cartridge. See “Water Filtration System.” Operate the dispenser. If the water flow increases noticeably, your filter is full and needs to be replaced.

Is a reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? See “Water Supply Requirements.”

NOTE: If not due to any of the above, there may be a problem with the water line. Call for service.

Off-taste, odor or gray color in the ice

Are the plumbing connections new, causing discolored or off-flavored ice? Discard the first few batches of ice.

Have the ice cubes been stored too long? Throw old ice away and make a new supply.

Has food in the refrigerator been wrapped properly? See “Refrigerator Features.”

Do the freezer and ice bin need to be cleaned? See “Cleaning.”

Does the water contain minerals (such as sulfur)? A filter may need to be installed to remove the minerals.

Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? Gray or dark discoloration in ice indicates that the water filtration system needs additional flushing. Run additional water through the water dispenser to flush the water filtration system more thoroughly, at least 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) or

5 minutes initially. Discard discolored ice.

The water dispenser will not operate properly

Has the water system not filled? The water system needs to be filled the first time it is used. Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser until water begins to flow.

Dispense and discard 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water. This will take approximately 5 minutes and will help clear air from the line. Additional flushing may be required in some households. See “Water Dispenser.”

Is the water shutoff valve not turned on or the water line connected at the source? Be sure the water shutoff valve is turned on and the water source is connected to the refrigerator. See “Connect the Water Supply.”

Is the water shutoff valve clogged or incorrectly installed? See “Connect the Water Supply.” If clogging or installation is not a problem, call for service or contact a plumber.

Is there a kink in the home water source line? If you find or suspect a kink in the water line, contact a licensed, qualified plumber.

Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. First, check the filter installation instructions to ensure that the filter was installed correctly and is not clogged. If installation or clogging is not a problem, call for service.

Is a reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? See “Water Supply Requirements.”

Water flow from the dispenser decreases noticeably

Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The filter may be full or incorrectly installed. Depending on your model, remove the water filter cartridge. See “Water Filtration System.” Operate the dispenser. If the water flow increases noticeably, your filter is full and needs to be replaced.

Water leaking from the dispenser

Is the glass not being held under the water dispenser long enough? Hold the container under the water dispenser 2 to 3 seconds after releasing the dispenser lever. Water may continue to dispense during this time.

Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The water filtration system may have air in the lines, causing water to drip. Additional flushing may help clear air from the lines. Normal dispenser use should flush air from the lines within 24 to 72 hours.
