Concern Potential Cause Common Solution
Automatic Ice Maker (Cont’d)
Ice maker is
not making
enough ice.
• Ice maker is producing
less ice than you
expect.
• The water filter may be
clogged with foreign
material.
• The water supply line is
kinked.
• Saddle valve on cold
water pipe is clogged
or restricted by foreign
material.
• Heavy trac, opening
or closing of the doors
excessively.
• Freezer control is set
too warm (freezer ice
maker).
• Water pressure is
extremely low. Cut-o
and cut-on pressures
are too low (well
systems only).
• Reverse osmosis
system is in
regenerative phase.
• In a Standard Depth model, the
refrigerator ice maker should
produce 3.0 to 3.4 pounds of ice
per 24 hours. In a Counter Depth
model, the refrigerator ice maker
should produce 2.7 to 3.2 pounds
of ice per 24 hours.
• In a Standard Depth model, the
refrigerator ice bin will hold around
5 pounds of ice. In a Counter Depth
model, the refrigerator ice bin will
hold around 3.7 pounds of ice.
• If water dispenses slower than
normal, or if the filter is six 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 o household water line valve.
Remove valve. Clean valve. Replace
valve if necessary.
• Set freezer control to colder setting
to improve performance of the ice
maker (freezer ice maker). Allow 24
hours for temperature to stabilize.
• Have someone turn up the cut-o
and cut-on pressure on the water
pump system (well systems only).
• It is normal for a reverse osmosis
system to be below 20 psi during
the regenerative phase.
Freezer ice
maker will
not stop
making
ice (select
models).
• Ice maker bail arm is
being held down by a
package in the freezer
that has fallen against
ice maker.
• Ice cubes are located
in once spot inside the
freezer ice bin
• Move any item or frozen ice cubes
that may block the bail arm from
being in the o or upward position.
See Automatic Ice Maker-Freezer
section in manual.
• Periodically move ice cubes around
the ice bin so that ice maker will
continue to make ice.
