Possible Causes

Partially clogged water filter, Restricted water supply line, Weak water inlet valve, Low household water pressure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the water supply before disconnecting any lines.

Steps:

  • Replace water filter: If your Magic Chef refrigerator has a filter, replace it according to the schedule or sooner if ice production slows.
  • Inspect supply line: Check for kinks or sharp bends in the water line behind the refrigerator.
  • Check pressure: Ensure household water pressure meets the minimum requirement (typically 20–40 psi). Low pressure reduces ice size.
  • Replace inlet valve: If flow remains weak, replace the water inlet valve with a Magic Chef-compatible part.
