BEFORE YOU CALL
CONCERN CAUSE SOLUTION
AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER (Continued)
Ice maker is
not making
enough ice.
• Ice maker is producing
less ice than you expect.
• The water lter may be
clogged with foreign material.
• The water supply line
is kinked.
• Saddle valve on cold water
pipe is clogged or restrict-
ed by foreign material.
• Heavy trafc, opening
or closing of the
doors excessively.
• Freezer control is set
too warm.
• The ice maker produces approximately 2.5
to 3 pounds every 24 hours depending on
usage conditions.
• If water dispenses slower than normal,
or if the lter is 6 months old or older, it
should be replaced.
• Ensure that the supply line does not kink
when the refrigerator is pushed into place
against the wall.
• Turn off household water line valve. Re-
move valve. Ensure that valve is not a self-
piercing saddle valve. Clean valve. Replace
valve if necessary.
• Press Fast Freeze to temporarily increase
ice production rate. (Does not apply to
Frigidaire Professional.)
• Set freezer control to colder setting to
improve performance of the ice maker.
Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize.
Ice maker
will not stop
making ice
(select models).
• Ice maker wire signal arm
is being held down by a
package in the freezer
that has fallen against ice
maker. (Does not apply to
Frigidaire Professional.)
• 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.
Ice cubes
are freezing
together.
• Ice cubes are not being
used frequently enough
or interruption of power
for prolonged time.
• Ice cubes are small or hol-
low (shells of ice with water
inside). The hollow cubes
break open in the bin and
leak their water onto exist-
ing ice, which causes it to
freeze together.
• 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 lter or
restricted water supply. Replace the water
lter and if the condition still occurs check
for a Saddle Valve, water valve not turned
on all the way or kinked water supply line.
DISPENSER (Ice & Water)
Dispenser will
not dispense ice.
• Dispenser lock out is en-
gaged. (Does not apply to
Frigidaire Professional.)
• There is no ice in the bin
to be dispensed.
• The refrigerator doors are
not completely closed.
• Dispenser paddle has
been pressed too long
and the dispenser motor
has overheated.
• Press and hold control lock for three
seconds.
• See the “Ice maker is not making any ice”
section above.
• Be sure the refrigerator doors are
completely closed.
• The motor overload protector will reset in about
three minutes and then ice can be dispensed.
