Ice maker is not making enough ice
Issue
Ice maker is not making enough ice.
Applies to
- Refrigeration
- Refrigeration French Door

Solution
Understanding operation of ice maker
- The ice maker will produce approximately 1 kg of ice every 24 hours.
- 2kg in 32-42 hours
- First harvest of 8 cubes can take 5 hours from start up
- Operating pressure is 30 psi to 100 psi or 210kpa to 700kpa
Potential Cause
The water filter may be clogged/ restricted with foreign material.
- check replacement date and replace if needed
The water supply line is kinked tap not open fully.
- Check line for kinks and tap connection is fully open
Water pressure is extremely low. Cut-off and cut-on pressures are too low (well systems only).
- is a pressure limiter fitted, how is water pressure in other areas of house
Reverse osmosis system is in regenerative phase. or external filter in use reducing water supply
Common Solution
- If water dispenses slower than normal, or if the filter is six months old or older, it should be replaced.
- Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the refrigerator is pushed into place against the wall.
- Have someone turn up the cut-off and cut-on pressure on the water pump system (well systems only).
- It is normal for a reverse osmosis system to be below 137 kPa (20 psi) during the regenerative phase.
- have a plumber check water pressure and water supply
