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” in either the Installation
Instruction booklet or the Use & Care Guide.

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.
