BEFORE YOU CALL
CONCERN POTENTIAL CAUSE COMMON SOLUTION
AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER (continued)
Freezer ice
maker will
not stop
making
ice (select
models).
• Ice maker wire signal arm
is being held down by a
package in the freezer that
has fallen against ice maker.
• Move any item or frozen ice cubes that may
block the signal arm from being in the off or
upward position. See Automatic 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 usually 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.

section above.
• Be sure the refrigerator doors are completely

• The motor overload protector will reset in about
three minutes and then ice can be dispensed.
Ice dispenser
is jammed.
• Ice has melted and frozen
around auger due to
infrequent use, temperature
fluctuations, and/or power
outages.
• Ice cubes are jammed
between ice maker and back
of ice container.
• Remove ice container, thaw, and empty the
contents. Clean container, wipe dry, and replace
in proper position. When new ice is made,
dispenser should operate.
