for ice production to begin. Wait around 72 hours for full ice
production.

ice maker to produce more ice.
� Ice cube jammed in the ice maker ejector arm? Remove ice
from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil.
� Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to
your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure.
See "Water Supply Requirements".

� Water shut-off valve not fully open? Turn the water shut-off
valve fully open.
� Kink in the water source line? A kink in the line can reduce

Ice is Sticking Together in the Ice Storage Bin
� It is normal for frost to be on top of the ice storage bin due to
normal opening and closing of the freezer.

used frequently. It is recommended that the ice storage bin be
emptied and cleaned as needed. See "Ice Maker and Storage
Bin."
Off-Taste, Odor or Gray Color in the Ice
� New plumbing connections? New plumbing connections can
cause discolored or off-flavored ice.
� Ice stored too long? Discard ice. Wash ice bin. Allow
24 hours for ice maker to make new ice.

packaging to store food.
� Are there minerals (such as sulfur) in the water? A water
filter may need to be installed to remove the minerals.
� Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? Gray or
dark discoloration in ice indicates that the water filtration
system needs additional flushing.
