32 Solutions To Common Problems Ice Dispenser Problem Dispenser will not dispense ice. Ice dispenser is jammed. Cause • Water supply is not connected. • 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. Correction • Connect water supply (see Connecting The Water Supply section). • 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 30-100 psi water pressure. Well water pressures should fall within this range. Water Dispenser Problem Dispenser will not dispense water. Water has an odd taste and/or odor. Cause • Water supply is not connected. • Household water line valve is not open. • Freezer door is not closed. • Ice & water filter cartridge is clogged. • Front filter not fully installed, if equipped • Water has been in the tank for a period of time. • Unit not properly connected to cold water line. • Tubing used in the household water supply and installation may affect water taste and odor. • Water has a high mineral content. Correction • Connect water supply (see Connecting The Water Supply section). • Open household water line valve. See Problem section Ice Maker Is Not Making Ice. • Ensure that freezer door is closed. (See Problem Section, Opening/Closing of Doors/Drawers) • Replace filter cartridge. • Push filter in until you hear two "clicks". Filter should be flush with cabinet. • Draw and discard 10-12 glasses of water to freshen the supply and completely rinse out the tank. • Connect unit to cold water line that supplies water to the kitchen faucet. • For best results, use copper tubing for water connections. • Contact water treatment plant for help in checking water supply source. Water pressure is extremely low. • Cut-off and cut-on pressures are too low (well systems only). • Reverse osmosis system is in regenerative phase. • Have someone turn up the cut-off and cut-on pressure on the water pump system (well systems only). • It is normal for a reverse osmosis system to be below 20 psi during the regenerative phase.
