Ice maker runs but produces very little ice

Is the room temperature hotter than normal? Room temperatures of more than 90°F (32°C) will normally reduce ice production.

WARNING

Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

Is the condenser dirty? Dirt or lint may be blocking the airflow through the condenser. See “Condenser” in the “Cleaning” section.

Is there scale buildup in the ice maker? If there is white scale buildup in the ice maker’s water or freezing system, you should clean the ice maker. See “Interior Components” in the “Cleaning” section.

Is the drain cap securely in place? If the drain cap is loose, water will empty from the water pan, and you will have either thin ice or no ice. Tighten the drain cap if it is loose.

Grid is not cutting ice sheets

Is the cutter grid securely in place? Check the cutter grid harness plug to make sure the connection is intact. See “Interior Components” section of “Cleaning” for instructions on cutter grid removal.
