valve is not open.
• Freezer is not cold
enough.
• Household water line to
the refrigerator is kinked.

completely seated.

less ice than you expect.

Solution
• Turn on power switch.

line should be coiled behind the unit to avoid kinking.

restricted, and must be replaced.

of ice every 24 hours. Fast Ice should produce up to 6
pounds of ice every 24 hours.
