clogging and to maintain a fresh supply of ice, empty the storage bin and clean both the storage bin and

 

 

the delivery chute every 2 weeks.

minutes for the dispenser to reset, then resume dispensing. Take large amounts of ice directly from the

 

 

ice bin, not through the dispenser.

 

Water pressure to the home is not at or above 30 psi (207 kPa) - The water pressure to the home

 

 

affects the flow from the dispenser. See “Water Supply Requirements.”

used in non-recommended water supply lines. Use only a recommended water supply line. See “Water

 

 

Supply Requirements.”

 

There are minerals (such as sulfur) in the water - A water filter may need to be installed in order to

 

 

remove the minerals.

 

Water filter was recently installed or replaced - Gray or dark discoloration in ice or water indicates

 

 

that the water filtration system needs additional flushing. See “Water and Ice Dispensers.”

Water filter is clogged or incorrectly installed - Replace filter or reinstall it correctly. See “Water Filtration System.”

A reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply - This can decrease water pressure. See “Water Supply Requirements.”

NOTE: If questions remain regarding water pressure, contact a licensed, qualified plumber.
