How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the ice maker and shut off water supply before removing the ice maker or water lines.

Steps to restore ice production:

  • 1. Verify freezer temperature: Ensure it is 0°F or colder. Adjust settings if needed.
  • 2. Check ice maker power: Confirm the ice maker arm is down or the on/off switch is in the ON position.
  • 3. Replace water filter: Install a new filter if older than 6 months.
  • 4. Inspect fill tube: Look for ice blocking the fill tube above the ice maker. Clear any ice with warm water.
  • 5. Test ice maker: Use the test button or jumper (per tech sheet) to initiate a harvest cycle. If it does not cycle, replace the ice maker assembly.
  • 6. Check fill valve: If the ice maker cycles but does not fill, test and replace the water inlet valve if it does not open when energized.
