Water filter is clogged or needs to be changed. Ice maker has just been installed or a large amount of ice has been used. Water pressure is too low. Ice maker is not producing ice Water filter is clogged or needs to be changed. Ice maker arm is up. Household water supply is not reaching water valve. Copper tubing has kinks. Water pressure is too low. Check freezer temperature. Ice bin is not installed properly. Improper water valve was installed. Water filter indicator light is red Water filter needs to be replaced. Filter indicator sensor needs to be reset. WHAT TO DO Verify that freezer door is closed. Power is removed from the control when freezer door is opened. Plug in refrigerator. Replace any blown fuses. Check circuit breakers for any tripped circuits. Call local power company listing to report outage. See Sabbath Mode page 12. Verify that freezer door is closed. Power is removed from the control when freezer door is opened. See Dispenser Lock page 12.

Wait 24 hours for ice production to begin or for ice maker to restock after emptied. Change water filter (see page 13). Wait 24 hours for ice production to begin or for ice maker to restock after emptied. Low water pressure can cause valve to leak. Water pressure must be between 35 to 100 pounds per square inch to function properly. A minimum pressure of 35 pounds per square inch is recommended for refrigerators with water filters. Change water filter (see page 13). Confirm ice maker arm is down. See Automatic Ice Maker page 15. See Connecting the Water Supply pages 4 and 5. Turn off water supply and remove kinks. If kinks cannot be removed, replace tubing. Water pressure must be between 35 to 100 pounds per square inch to function properly. A minimum pressure of 35 pounds per square inch is recommended for refrigerators with water filters. See Temperature Controls page 7 to adjust controls. Freezer must be between 0° to 2° F (-18° to -17° C) to produce ice. See Ice Storage Bin page 9. See Connecting the Water Supply pages 4 and 5. Self-piercing and 3⁄16" saddle valves cause low water pressure and may clog the line over time. The manufacturer is not responsible for property damage due to improper installation or water connection. If filter is not available, replace with bypass filter. See Water Filter page 13.
