7-3. TROUBLESHOOTING
Operational Notes
1, The ice maker water valve contains a flow washer that
acts like a pressure regulator to control the water flow.
For the ice maker to work properly, the water pressure in
your home must be between 20 and 120
pounds-per-square-inch(psi). If you encounter problems
with your ice maker's ability to produce ice, call your
water utility company and have the water pressure
checked.
2. The ice maker's water valve is equipped with two
strainers; a plastic basket type and a wire-mesh screen.
Both of these can be cleaned by turning off the water
and disassembling the water valve (your service center
should be able to provide this service). If local water
conditions requ[ra pedodic cleaning, or if you use a well
as a water source, you should consider installing a
second water strainer in the water line. You can obtain a
water strainer from your local appliance dealer.
