A kink in the water line can reduce water flow from the
water dispenser and result in hollow or irregular shaped ice.

Flush and fill the water system. See "Water and Ice Dispensers."
The water pressure to the house determines the flow from the
dispenser. See "Water Supply Requirements."
A reverse osmosis water filtration system can decrease water

Remove the ice clogging the storage bin and delivery chute,
