ICE AND WATER

Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions

Ice maker is not producing ice, not producing enough ice,

or producing small/hollow ice

Refrigerator is not connected to a water supply, or the water supply shutoff valve is not fully turned on - Connect the refrigerator to a water supply and make sure the water shutoff valve is fully open.

Kink in the water source line - A kink in the water line can reduce water flow, resulting in decreased ice production, small ice cubes, and/or hollow or irregularly-shaped ice. Straighten the water line.

Ice maker is not turned on - Turn on the ice maker. See “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

New installation - After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the water system.

(See “Water and Ice Dispensers.”) Wait 24 hours for ice production to begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice production. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

Large amount of ice was recently removed - Allow sufficient time for the ice maker to produce more ice.

Ice is jammed in the ice maker ejector arm - Remove ice from the ejector arm using a plastic utensil.

Inadequate water pressure - Verify that the household has adequate water pressure. See “Water Supply Requirements.”

Water filter is installed incorrectly - Make sure the filter is properly installed. 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.
