TROUBLESHOOTING 45 ENGLISH Cooling/Ice & Water Problem Frost or ice crystals on frozen food (inside of sealed package). Icemaker is not making enough ice. Possible Causes Condensation from food with a high water content has frozen inside of the food package. Food has been left in the freezer for a long period of time.

TROUBLESHOOTING
ENGLISH
Cooling/Ice & Water
Problem
Possible Causes
Solutions
Frost or
ice crystals
on frozen
food (inside
of sealed
package).
Condensation from food
with a high water content
has frozen inside of the
food package.
This is normal for food items with a high water
content.
Food has been left in the
freezer for a long period of
time.
Do not store food items with high water content in
the freezer for a long period of time.
Icemaker is
not making
enough ice.
Demand exceeds ice
storage capacity.
The icemaker will produce approximately 70-210
cubes in a 24 hour period.
House water supply is not
connected, valve is not
turned on fully, or valve is
clogged.
Connect the refrigerator to a cold water supply with
adequate pressure and turn the water shutoff valve
fully open.
If the problem persists, it may be necessary to
contact a plumber.
Water filter has been
exhausted.
Replacing the water filter is recommended:
•
Approximately every six months.
•
When the water filter indicator turns on.
•
When the water dispenser output decreases.
•
When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.
Low house water supply
pressure.
The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi
on models without a water filter and between 40 and
120 psi on models with a water filter.
If the problem persists, it may be necessary to
contact a plumber.
Reverse Osmosis filtration
system is used.
Reverse osmosis filtration systems can reduce the
water pressure below the minimum amount and result
in icemaker issues. (Refer to Water Pressure section.)
Tubing connecting
refrigerator to house supply
valve is kinked.
The tubing can kink when the refrigerator is moved
during installation or cleaning resulting in reduced
water flow. Straighten or repair the water supply line
and arrange it to prevent future kinks.
Doors are opened often or
for long periods of time.
If the doors of the unit are opened often, ambient
air will warm the refrigerator which will prevent the
unit from maintaining the set temperature. Lowering
the refrigerator temperature can help, as well as not
opening the doors as frequently.
Doors are not closed
completely.
If the doors are not properly closed, ice production
will be affected. See the Doors will not close
completely or pop open section in Parts & Features
Troubleshooting for more information.
The temperature setting for
the freezer is too warm.
The recommended temperature for the freezer
compartment for normal ice production is 0°F. If the
freezer temperature is warmer, ice production will be
affected.
