TROUBLESHOOTING
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
Ice Maker Operation
Ice maker does not run
■ Is the power cord plugged in? Plug into a grounded 3 prong
outlet.
■ Has a household fuse or circuit breaker tripped? Replace
the fuse or reset the circuit.
■ Is the temperature cooler than normal? Ambient
temperature must be above 45°F (7°C). Otherwise, bin
thermostat may sense cold ambient temperature and shut off
even though bin is not full of ice. Also, unit may not restart
once it does shut off.
■ Is the control set to ICE? Be sure that the control is set to
ICE.
Ice Production
Ice maker runs but produces no ice
■ Is the control set to ICE? Be sure that the control is set to
ICE.
■ Is the water supply connected? Make sure the water supply
is properly connected and turned on.
Ice maker runs but produces very little ice
■ Is the temperature hotter than normal? Ambient
temperatures of more than 100°F (37°C) will normally reduce
ice production.
■ Is the condenser dirty? Dirt or lint may be blocking the
airflow through the condenser. See the “Condenser” section.
■ Is there scale buildup in the ice maker? If there is white
scale buildup in the ice maker’s water or freezing system, you
should clean the ice maker. See the “Ice Maker System” and
the “Interior Components” sections.
■ Is there at least 15" (38.1 cm) clearance in front of the ice
maker? The ice maker must have at least 15" (38.1 cm) of
clearance in the front to operate properly.
■ Is the spray tube clogged? If the spray tube is clogged,
water cannot enter the ice making mechanism. Clean the
spray tube. See the “Interior Components” section.
Ice Quality
Taste in ice cubes
■ Is there unusually high mineral content in the water
supply? The water may need to be filtered or treated.
■ Are there food items stored in the ice bin? Do not store any
foods in the ice bin.
■ Were all the packaging materials removed? Make sure that
all packaging materials were removed at the time of
installation.
