Before you call...

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.
•  Turn on ice maker. For the fresh food ice maker, press 
and hold the Ice Off button for 4 seconds until the 
indicator turns off. For the freezer ice maker, lower the 
wire signal arm. 
•  Connect the unit to the household water supply and 
ensure the supply valve is open.
•  Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the refrig-
erator 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 posi-
tion.
•  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. En-
sure that valve is not a self-piercing saddle valve. Clean 
valve. Replace valve if necessary.
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.
•  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 refrig-
erator is pushed into place against the wall.
•  Turn off household water line valve. Remove valve. En-
sure that valve is not a self-piercing saddle valve. Clean 
valve. Replace valve if necessary.
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 and release wire signal arm. Remove any 
ice cubes that may have frozen together over the wire 
signal arm.
Ice cubes are freezing 
together.
•  Ice cubes are not being used frequently 
enough.
•  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.
