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 traffic, opening
or closing of the
doors excessively.
Freezer control is set too
warm (freezer ice maker).
Water pressure is
extremely low. Cut-off and
cut-on pressures are too
low (well systems only).
Reverse osmosis system
is in regenerative phase.
Ice cubes are not being
used frequently enough
or interruption of power
for prolonged time.
Ice cubes are hollow
(shells of ice with water
inside). The hollow cubes
break open in the bin
and leak their water onto
existing ice, which causes
it to freeze together.
Common Solution
• The refrigerator ice maker should
produce 2.7 to 3.2 pounds of ice per
24 hours.
The refrigerator ice bin will hold
around 3.7 pounds of ice.
• If water dispenses slower than
normal, or if the filter 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.
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-off 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.
• 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
filter or restricted water supply. Replace
the water filter and if the condition still
occurs check for a clogged Saddle Valve,
water valve not turned on all the way or
kinked water supply line.
