This is normal for food items with a high water
content.
Do not store food items with high water content in
the freezer for a long period of time.
The icemaker will produce approximately 70-120
cubes in a 24 hour period.
Connect the refrigerator to a cold water supply with
adequate pressure and turn the water shutoff valve
fully open.
If the problem persists, it may be necessary to
contact a plumber.
Replacing the water fi lter is recommended:
The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi
(138 - 827 kPa) on models without a water fi lter and
between 40 and 120 psi
with a water fi lter.
If the problem persists, it may be necessary to
contact a plumber.
Reverse osmosis fi ltration systems can reduce the
water pressure below the minimum amount and result
in icemaker issues. (Refer to Water Pressure section.)
The tubing can kink when the refrigerator is moved
during installation or cleaning resulting in reduced
water fl ow. Straighten or repair the water supply line
and arrange it to prevent future kinks.
If the doors of the unit are opened often, ambient
air will warm the refrigerator which will prevent the
unit from maintaining the set temperature. Low
the refrigerator temperature can help, as well as not
opening the doors as frequently.
If the doors are not properly closed, ice production
will be affected. See the Doors will not close
completely or pop open section in Parts & Features
Troubleshooting for more information.
The recommended temperature for the freezer
compartment for normal ice production is 0°F . If the
freezer temperature is warmer, ice production will be
affected.
