CONCERN

POTENTIAL CAUSE

COMMON SOLUTION

AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER

Ice maker is not

making any ice.

• Ice maker is turned off.

• Refrigerator is not con-

nected to water line or

water valve is not open.

• The water supply line

is kinked.

• The water filter is not

seated properly.

• The water filter may

be clogged with

foreign material.

• Freezer ice maker wire

signal arm is being held

up by an item not al-

lowing it to go in the on

or down position.

• Turn on ice maker. For the fresh food ice

maker, press and hold the “Ice Off” button

for three (3) seconds until the indicator light

is off. For the freezer ice maker, lower the

wire signal arm.

• Connect the unit to the household water

supply and ensure the water 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 filter. Be

sure to push the filter firmly so that you

hear it lock solidly into position.

• If water dispenses slowly or not at all, or

if the filter is six (6) months old or older, it

should be replaced.

• Move any item or frozen ice cubes that

may block the signal arm from being in

the on or down position. See Automatic

Ice Maker-Freezer section in manual.

Ice maker is not

making enough ice.

• Ice maker is producing

less ice than

you expect.

• The water filter may be

clogged with

foreign material.

• The water supply line

is kinked.

• Saddle valve on cold water

pipe is clogged or restricted

by foreign material.

• Heavy traffic, opening

or closing of the

doors excessively.

• 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 filter 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 off household water line valve. Remove valve.

Ensure that valve is not a self-piercing saddle valve.

Clean valve. Replace valve if necessary.

• Press Fast Freeze to temporarily increase

ice production rate.

Freezer ice maker

will not stop mak-

ing ice (select

models).

• Ice maker wire signal

arm is being held down

by some package in the

freezer that has fallen

against the ice maker.

• Move any item or frozen ice cubes that

may block the signal arm from being in

the off or upward position. See Auto-

matic Ice Maker-Freezer section

in manual.

Ice cubes are

freezing together.

• Ice cubes are not being

used frequently enough

or interruption of power

for prolonged time.

• 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 usu-

ally the result of a clogged water filter or

restricted water supply. Replace the water

filter and if the condition still occurs check

for a Saddle Valve, water valve not turned

on all the way or kinked water supply line.
