Ice Dispenser
Problem Cause Correction
Dispenser will
not dispense ice.
Water supply is not connected.•
Ice storage container is empty.•
Freezer temperature is set too •
warm.
Household water line valve is •
not open.
Freezer door is not closed.•
Ice dispensing arm has been •
held in for more than 4-5
minutes.
Connect water supply (see Connecting The •
Water Supply section).
Ensure ice maker is turned on. When the first •
supply of ice is dropped into the container, the
dispenser should operate.
Turn freezer control to a higher setting so that •
ice cubes will be made. When first supply of ice
is made, dispenser should operate.
Open household water line valve. Allow •
sufficient time for the ice to be made. When ice
is made, the dispenser should operate.
Ensure freezer door is closed. (See Problem •
Section, Opening/Closing of Doors/Drawers)
Motor is overloaded. Motor overload protector •
will reset in approximately 3 minutes. Ice can
then be dispensed.
Ice dispenser is
jammed.
Ice has melted and frozen •
around auger due to infrequent
use, temperature fluctuations,
and/or power outages.
Ice cubes are jammed between •
ice maker and back of ice
container.
Ice cubes are frozen together. •
Ice cubes are hollow or smaller •
than normal.
Remove ice container, thaw, and empty the •
contents. Clean container, wipe dry, and replace
in proper position. When new ice is made,
dispenser should operate.
Remove ice cubes that are jamming the •
dispenser.
Use the dispenser often so that cubes do not •
freeze together.
The ice & water filter cartridge could be •
clogged. Replace the filter cartridge. Dispensing
system operates best at 30-100 psi water
pressure. Well water pressures should fall
within this range.

checking water supply source.
Water pressure is
extremely low.
Cut-off and cut-on pressures •
are too low (well systems
only).
Reverse osmosis system is in •
regenerative phase.
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.
