Solutions To Common Problems
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 page 9).
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.
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 20-
100 psi water pressure. Well water pressures should fall
within this range.

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.
