BEFORE YOU CALL Concern Potential Cause Automatic Ice Maker (Cont'd) Common Solution Ice maker is not making enough ice. • Ice maker is producing less ice than you expect. • The ice maker will produce approximately 2.3 pounds of ice (fresh food ice maker) and 2.5 pounds of ice (freezer ice maker) every 24 hours depending on usage conditions. • The water filter may be clogged with foreign material. • If water dispenses slower than normal, or if the filter is six months old or older, it should be replaced. • The water supply line is kinked. • Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the refrigerator is pushed into place against the wall. • Saddle valve on cold water pipe is clogged or restricted by foreign material. • Turn off household water line valve. Remove valve. Clean valve. Replace valve if necessary. • Heavy traffic, opening or closing of the doors excessively. • Freezer control is set too warm (freezer ice maker). • Press Fast Freeze to temporarily increase ice production rate. (Freezer ice maker only.) • Set freezer control to colder setting to improve performance of the ice maker (freezer ice maker). Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize. • 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. Freezer ice maker will not stop making ice (select models). • Ice maker wire signal arm is being held down by a package in the freezer that has fallen against ice maker. • Move any item or frozen ice cubes that may block the signal arm from being in the off or upward position. See Automatic Ice Maker-Freezer section in manual. Ice cubes are freezing together. • Ice cubes are not being used frequently enough or interruption of power for prolonged time. • Remove ice container and discard ice. The ice maker will produce fresh supply. Ice should be used at least twice weekly to keep the cubes separated. • Ice cubes are hollow (shells of ice with water inside). The hollow cubes break open in the bin and leak their water onto existing ice, which causes it to freeze together. • This generally occurs when the ice maker does not get enough water. This is usually the result of a clogged water filter or restricted water supply. Replace the water filter and if the condition still occurs check for a clogged Saddle Valve, water valve not turned on all the way or kinked water supply line. 37
