Ice cubes have an odor.

section.

• Discard ice and clean ice bucket or trays more

frequently. Ice cubes are porous and absorb odors
easily.

Ice cubes stick together or ‘shrink’.
• Empty ice cube bucket or trays more frequently.

If used infrequently, ice cubes may stick together or
shrink.

Ice forms in inlet tube to ice maker.
• Check water pressure. Low water pressure will

cause valve to leak. Self-piercing valves cause low
water pressure. Amana recommends using copper
tubing to connect household plumbing to
refrigerator. Do not use self-piercing valve. Amana
is not responsible for property damage due to
improper installation or water connection.
