Correction
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 sec-
onds 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 months old or older, it should be replaced.
• Turn off household water line valve. Remove valve.
Ensure that 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 posi-
tion. 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 fil-
ter is six 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 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 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.
