The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice
• Refrigerator connected to a water supply and the supply
shutoff valve turned on? Connect refrigerator to water supply
and turn water shutoff valve fully open.
• Kink in the water source line? A kink in the line can reduce
water flow. Straighten the water source line.

(depending on model) is in the ON position.
• New installation? Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation for
ice production to begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice production.
• Large amount of ice recently removed? Allow 24 hours for ice
maker to produce more ice.
• Ice cube jammed in the ice maker ejector arm?
Remove ice from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil.
• Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold
water supply? This can decrease water pressure. See "Water
Supply Requirements."
The ice cubes are hollow or small
NOTE: This is an indication of low water pressure.
• Water shutoff valve not fully open? Turn the water shutoff
valve fully open.
• Kink in the water source line? A kink in the line can reduce
water flow. Straighten the water source line.

for ice maker to make new ice. See "Ice Maker and Storage
Bin."
Odor transfer from food? Use airtight, moisture-proof
packaging to store food.
Are there minerals (such as sulfur) in the water? A water filter
may need to be installed to remove the minerals.
Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? Gray or
dark discoloration in ice indicates that the water filtration
system needs additional flushing.

Freezer door closed completely? Close the door firmly. If it
does not close completely, see "The doors will not close
completely."
Ice bin installed correctly? Be sure the ice bin is firmly in
position.

Ice clogged in the ice storage bin or delivery chute? Remove
clogged ice, using a plastic utensil if necessary. Clean chute
and bottom of storage bin using a warm moist cloth, and dry
both thoroughly. To avoid clogging and maintain a fresh supply
of ice, empty the storage bin and clean both the bin and
delivery chute every two weeks.
