COMMON SOLUTION
• Move any item or frozen ice cubes
that may block the signal arm from
being in the off or upward position.
See Automatic Ice Maker-Freezer
section in manual.
• Remove ice container and discard
ice. The ice maker will produce fresh
supply. Ice should be used at least
twice weekly to keep the cubes
separated.
• This generally occurs when the ice
maker does not get enough water. This
is usually the result of a clogged water
filter or restricted water supply. Replace
the water filter and if the condition still
occurs check for a Saddle Valve, water
valve not turned on all the way or
kinked water supply line.
• Close both doors gently.
• Ensure floor is level and solid,
and can adequately support the
refrigerator. Contact a carpenter to
correct a sagging or sloping floor.
