A water filter is installed on the refrigerator. A reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to the cold water supply. Questions remain regarding water pressure. Solution Minimize drawer openings and close drawer completely after use. Ensure door seals are making full contact with the refrigerator cabinet to allow for an adequate seal. See the "Using the Controls" section for recommended temperature settings. Connect refrigerator to water supply and turn water shut-off valve to fully open. A kink in the line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water source line. Make sure the ice maker is on. See the "Ice Maker and Storage Bin" section. Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation for ice production to begin. Wait 3 days for full ice production. Close the door firmly. If it does not close completely, see "The doors will not close completely" in this table. Allow sufficient time for ice maker to produce more ice. See the "Ice Maker and Storage Bin" section for ice production rates. Remove ice from the ice maker with a plastic utensil. Remove the water filter and operate the ice maker. If ice volume improves, then the filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. Replace filter or reinstall it correctly. This can decrease water pressure. See the "Water Supply Requirements" section. Turn the water shut-off valve fully open. A kink in the line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water source line. Remove filter and operate ice maker. If ice quality improves, then the filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. Replace filter or reinstall it correctly. This can decrease water pressure.
