POSSIBLE CAUSE
Electrical connection to water valve
coil and connector block may be loose.
Freezer section not operating at proper

instructions.
SOLUTION
Check electrical connections to water valve coil and
connector block on refrigerator cabinet.
Confirm that freezer section is operating at proper
temperature. Adjust accordingly.
Wait 24 hours for ice production to begin and for ice
to restock after emptied.
Low water pressure can cause valve to leak. Water
pressure must be between 20 to 100 pounds per square
inch to function properly. A minimum pressure of 35
pounds per square inch is recommended for units with
water filters.
See owners manual for replacement instructions.
See the controls section in your owner's manual for
