Ice cubes have an odor.

frequently. Ice cubes are porous and absorb odors
easily.
Ice cubes stick together or ‘shrink’.

used infrequently, ice cubes may stick together or
shrink.
Ice forms in inlet tube to ice maker (some models).
• Check water pressure. Low water pressure will
cause valve to leak. Self-piercing valves cause low
water pressure. Amana recommends using a
saddle valve. Contact 1-800-843-0304 or an
Amana dealer for availability. Do not use self-
piercing valve. Amana is not responsible for
property damage due to improper installation
or water connection.
