•
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.
•

poor taste or odor.
•
Ice not used frequently enough.
•
Dispenser lock out is engaged.
•
There is no ice in the bin to be
dispensed.
•
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 liquid water
inside).
CORRECTION
•
Side mounted ice maker should produce 4 to 4.5 pounds (ap-
proximately 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 pro-
duce 25% to 50% more ice every 24 hours.
See PROBLEM column TEMPERATURES ARE TOO WARM.
•
•
Turn on household water line valve.
•
If it is, replace the ice and 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 and water filter cartridge may be clogged. Replace
filter cartridge.
•
Set freezer control to colder setting. Allow 24 hours for tem-
perature 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.
•

•
See "Ice maker is not making ice" section above.
•
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 over load 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 and 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.
