BEFORE YOU CALL (CONTINUED) PROBLEM AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER (CONTINUED) Ice maker is not making enough ice. • • • • Ice maker will not stop making ice. • Ice cubes are freezing together. • • • • Ice has bad odor and taste. • • • ICE DISPENSER Dispenser will not dispense ice. • • • • • Ice dispenser is jammed. • • • • CAUSE Ice maker is producing less ice • than you expect. Freezer is not cold enough. Household water line valve is • not completely open. Check to see if water • dispenser is dispensing slower than normal. • Ice maker wire signal arm is • being held down by some item in the freezer. Ice cubes are not being used • frequently enough. Ice cubes are hollow (partially • frozen cubes with water inside). Freezer control is set too • warm. Very little food in freezer. • Ice has picked up odor or • flavor from strong food stored in refrigerator or freezer. Water running to ice maker • has poor taste or odor. Ice not used frequently enough. • 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 (partially frozen cubes with • water inside). CORRECTION Side mounted ice maker should produce 4 to 4.5 pounds (approximately 4 quarts) of ice every 24 hours. A rear mounted ice maker should produce 3 to 4 pounds (approximately 3½ quarts) of ice every 24 hours. Extra Ice option should produce 25% to 50% more ice every 24 hours. See PROBLEM section TEMPERATURES ARE TOO WARM. Turn on household water line valve. If it is, replace the ice & water filter cartridge. Move item and release wire signal arm. Remove any ice cubes that are frozen together over the wire signal arm. Remove ice container and discard ice from container. Ice maker will produce fresh supply. The ice & water filter cartridge may be clogged. Replace filter cartridge. Set freezer control to colder setting. Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize. Add more food to freezer. Cover foods tightly. Discard stale ice. Ice maker will produce fresh supply. Add filter to water supply line. Consult a water purifying company. Discard stale ice. 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. 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. 19
