Before You Call 41 Ice Dispenser Concern Dispenser will not dispense ice. Ice dispenser is jammed. Cause • Water supply is not connected. • Household water line to the refrigerator is kinked. • Ice storage container is empty. • Freezer temperature is set too warm. • Household water line valve is not open. • Freezer door is not closed. • Ice dispensing arm has been held in for more than 4-5 minutes. • Ice has melted and frozen around auger due to infrequent use, temperature fluctuations, and/or power outages. • Ice cubes are jammed between ice maker and back of ice container. • Ice cubes are frozen together. • Ice cubes are hollow or smaller than normal. Solution • Connect water supply (see Connecting The Water Supply section). • Unkink the water line. If it is a copper line, it should be replaced because of possible leaks at the kink. A copper line should be coiled behind the unit to avoid kinking. • Ensure ice maker is turned on. When the first supply of ice is dropped into the container, the dispenser should operate. • Turn freezer control to a higher setting so that ice cubes will be made. When first supply of ice is made, dispenser should operate. • Open household water line valve. Allow sufficient time for the ice to be made. When ice is made, the dispenser should operate. • Ensure freezer door is closed. (See Problem Section, Opening/Closing of Doors/Drawers) • Motor is overloaded. Motor overload protector will reset in approximately 3 minutes. Ice can then be dispensed. • Remove ice container, thaw, and empty the contents. Clean container, wipe dry, and replace in proper position. When new ice is made, dispenser should operate. • Remove ice cubes that are jamming the dispenser. • Use the dispenser often so that cubes do not freeze together. • The ice & water filter cartridge could be clogged. Replace the filter cartridge. Dispensing system operates best at 30100 psi water pressure. Well water pressures should fall within this range.
