COMMON ICE MAKER PROBLEMS
NOTE: Only use cubes from the ice maker.
PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
The dispenser does not work. The freezer compartment
door is open.
The ice bucket is not properly
installed.
Close the freezer
compartment door.
Make sure that the bucket is
pushed all the way in.
The ice dispenser stops
working. The dispenser has not been
used for extended periods,
causing the ice cubes to melt
together.
The ice dispenser lever has
been held in for too long.
Shake the bucket
occasionally to keep cubes
separate and to increase
storage capacity. Throw old
ice cubes away and make a
new supply.
Wait about 3 minutes for the
dispenser motor to reset.
Large amounts of ice should be
taken from the bucket, not
through the dispenser.
Off-taste or odour to ice. Ice absorbs airborne odours.
Water quality.
Food not properly wrapped.
The ice bucket and the
freezer compartment may
need cleaning.
Plumbing connections to ice
maker.
New ice should be made.
Throw old ice away and
make a new supply.
Store excess ice in a covered
container.
Water containing minerals
may require a filter.
Wrap food properly.
Clean the ice bucket and the
freezer.
Follow instructions for a
proper water supply to ice
maker.
The first few batches of ice
from a new ice maker may
have an off-taste. Throw the
first few batches away and
make a new supply.
