TROUBLESHOOTING
Operational Notes:
The icemaker water valve contains a flow washer that acts like a pressure regulator to control the water
flow. For the icemaker to work properly, the water pressure in your home must be between 20 and 120
pound-per-square-inch (psi). If you encounter problems with your icemaker’s ability to produce ice, call
your water utility company and have the water pressure checked.
The icemaker’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 require periodic 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.
The chart below lists several common problems that may occur with your icemaker.

Water in icemaker overflows
Refrigerator or icemaker is not level. If the
icemaker still overflows after leveling, turn off the
icemaker’s water supply at the shut-off valve, and
raise the icemaker’s bail arm to the “off” position
(see previous page); then contact your local
service center.

icemaker will make ice every 2 to 3 hours. For
more ice, adjust the freezer control to a colder
setting.

bucket.
