Ice cubes have an odor.
• See “Odor Removal” instructions in “Care and Cleaning”
section.
• Discard ice and clean ice bucket or trays more
frequently. Ice cubes are porous and absorb odors
easily.
Ice cubes stick together or ‘shrink’.
• Empty ice cube bucket or trays more frequently. If
used infrequently, ice cubes may stick together or
shrink.
Ice forms in inlet tube to ice maker.
• Check water pressure. Low water pressure will cause
valve to leak. Self-piercing valves cause low water
pressure. Amana recommends using a saddle
valve. Contact 1-800-843-0304 or an Amana dealer
for availability. Do not use self-piercing valve.
