Solutions to Common Problems
Before you call...
If you experience a problem with your refrigerator or notice a product behavior or condition that you do not understand, you can 
usually avoid a call to your service representative by referring to this section for an answer. Beginning with the following table, this 
information includes common concerns, causes, and suggested solutions.
Automatic Ice Maker
Concern
Potential Cause
Common Solution
Ice maker is not 
making any ice.
•  Ice maker is turned off.
•  Refrigerator is not connected 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.
•  Saddle valve on cold water pipe is clogged 
or restricted by foreign material.
•  Freezer ice maker wire signal arm is being 
held up by an item not allowing 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 refrigera-
tor is pushed into place against the wall.
•  Remove and reinstall 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.
•  Turn off household water line valve. Remove valve. Ensure 
valve is not a self-piercing saddle valve. Clean valve. Replace 
valve if necessary.
•  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 refrigera-
tor 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 making ice.
•  Ice maker wire signal arm is being held 
down by some package in the freezer that 
has fallen against the ice maker.
•  Move the item or frozen ice cubes that may block the signal 
arm from being on 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 pro-
longed 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. 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.
Dispenser (Ice & Water)
Concern
Potential Cause
Common Solution
Dispenser will not 
dispense ice.
• Dispenser lock out is engaged.
• Water supply is not connected.
• Ice storage bin is empty. 
• Household water line valve is not open. 
• Fresh Food door is not closed.
• Ice dispensing paddle has been held in for 
more than four to (4-5) minutes.
• Press and hold control lock for three (3) seconds.
• Connect water supply (see Connecting The Water           
Supply section).
• Ensure ice maker is turned on. When the first supply of ice is 
dropped into the bin, the dispenser should operate.
• Open household water line valve. Allow sufficient time for the ice 
to be made. When ice is made, the dispenser should operate.
• Ensure Fresh Food door is closed. (See Problem Section, 
Opening/Closing of Doors/Drawers)
• Motor is overloaded. Motor overload protector will reset in 
approximately three (3) minutes. Ice can then be dispensed.
