Replace valve if necessary.
Freezer ice maker will
not stop making ice.
• Ice maker wire signal arm is be-
ing held down by some package
in the freezer that has fallen
against the ice maker.
• Move the item and release wire signal arm. Remove any ice
cubes that may have frozen together over the wire signal
arm.
Ice cubes are freezing
together.
• Ice cubes are not being used
frequently enough.
• 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.
• 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
lter.Replacethewaterlter.

minutes and then ice can be dispensed.

• Ice has melted and frozen around au-
ger due to infrequent use, temperature
uctuations,and/orpoweroutages.
