Possible Causes

Partially clogged inlet valve screen, Scale buildup in water line, Partially closed shutoff valve, Failing water inlet valve

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off water supply and unplug the unit before disconnecting hoses.

  • Verify valve position: Confirm the household shutoff valve feeding the ice maker is fully open.
  • Clean inlet screen: Disconnect the water line at the back of the unit and remove the small mesh screen in the inlet valve. Rinse thoroughly to remove sediment.
  • Flush supply line: Briefly run water from the supply line into a bucket to clear debris.
  • Evaluate inlet valve: If water flow remains weak and E17 persists, the internal valve may be restricted or failing. Replace the water inlet valve with a compatible Magic Chef part.
