TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
ICE & WATER
Problem
Icemaker is not
making enough ice.
Possible Causes
Demand exceeds ice storage
capacity.
House water supply is not connected,
valve is not turned on fully, or valve is
clogged.
Water filter has been exhausted.
Low house water supply pressure.
Reverse Osmosis filtration system is
used.
Tubing connecting refrigerator to
house supply valve is kinked.
Doors are opened often or for long
periods of time.
Doors are not closed completely.
The temperature setting for the
freezer is too warm.
The icemaker will produce approximately 70~210
cubes in a 24 hour period.
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.
It is recommended that you replace the water filter:
• 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.
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.
Reverse osmosis filtration systems can reduce the water
pressure below the minimum amount and result in
icemaker issues. (Refer to Water Pressure section.)
Straighten or repair the water supply line and arrange
it to prevent future kinks.
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.
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 recommended temperature for the freezer
compartment for normal ice production is 0°F. If the
freezer temperature is warmer, ice production will be
affected.
