SOLUTION
AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER (Continued)
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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 Saddle Valve, water valve not turned
on all the way or kinked water supply line.
