Remedy
•
Typical ice production is 6 to 7
pounds per day. Allow for the
freezer section to reach tempera-
ture and the ice-maker to cycle
and accumulate ice.
•
Turn on water supply to the unit.
•
Water pressure to the unit must be
at a minimum of 20 psi.
•
When the ice-maker shut off arm
is in the uppermost position, the
ice-maker is off. Flip the shut off
arm down to turn on the ice maker.
•
Allow the freezer section to reach
temperature.
•
Turn the temperature control to a
higher number to allow the unit to
run colder. Allow 24 hours be-
fore readjusting the temperature
control.
•
Make certain the grille in front of
the unit is free and open for air cir-
culation. Clean grille as required.
•
Move the unit to an area where
ambient temperature is below
115°F. The unit should not be
placed next to a heat source such
as an oven. Check for cold water
connection.
•
The water supply line is kinked.
•
Sediment build-up in supply line.
•
Due to differing water pressures,
the ice-maker water input may
require adjustment. Contact a
qualified service technician.
•
Ice will stick together if stored for
long periods of time.
•
Ice-maker malfunction, call for
service.
