Solutions To Common Problems
Ice Dispenser
Problem
Dispenser will not
dispense ice
Cause Correction
• Water supply is not connected
• Ice storage container is empty
• Freezer temperature is set too warm
• Household water line valve is not
open
• Freezer door is not closed
• Ice dispensing arm has been held in
for more than 4-5 minutes
• Connect water supply (see page 9)
• When the first supply of ice is dropped into the container,
the dispenser should operate
• Turn freezer control to a higher setting so that ice cubes
will be made When first supply of ice is made, dispenser
should operate
• Open household water line valve Allow sufficient time for
the ice to be made When ice is made, the dispenser
should operate
• Ensure freezer door is closed
• Motor is overloaded Motor overload protector will reset in
approximately 3 minutes Ice can then be dispensed
Ice dispenser is
jammed
• Ice has melted and frozen around
auger due to infrequent use,
temperature fluctuations, and/or
power outages
• Ice cubes are jammed between ice
maker and back of ice container
• Ice cubes are frozen together
• Ice cubes are hollow or smaller than
nornla]
• Remove ice container, thaw, and emptythe contents
Clean container, wipe dry, and replace in proper position
When new ice is made, dispenser should operate
• Remove ice cubes that are jamming the dispenser
• Use the dispenser often so that cubes do not freeze
together
• The ice & water filter cartridge could be clogged Replace
the filter cartridge Dispensing system operates best at 20-
100 psi water pressure. Well water pressures should fall
within this range.
Problem
Dispenser wi]l not
dispense water
Water has an odd
taste and/or odor
Water pressure is
extremely low
Cause
• Water supply is not connected
• Household water line valve is not
open
• Freezer door is not dosed
• Ice & water filter cartridge is clogged
• Front filter not fully installed, if
equipped
Correction
• Connect water supply (see page 9)
• Open household water line valve See Problem section Ice
Maker Is Not Making Ice
• Ensure that freezer door is closed
• Replace filter cartridge
• Push filter in until you hear a "click" Filter should be flush
with cabinet
• Water has been in the tank for a
pedod of time
• Unit not properly connected to cold
waterline
• Tubing used in the household water
supply and installation may affect
water taste and odor
• Water has a high mineral content
• Draw and discard 10-12 glasses of water to freshen the
supply and completely r_nse out the tank
• Connect unit to cold water line that supplies water to the
kitchen faucet
• For best results, use copper tubing for water connections
• Contact water b'eatment plant for help
• Cut-off and cut-on pressures are too
low (well systems only)
• Reverse osmosis system is in
regenerative phase
• Have someone turn up the cut-off and cut-on pressure on
the water pump system (well systems onty)
• It is normal for a reverse osmosis system to be below 20
psi during the regenerative phase
