Low Ice Production - Top Freezer Refrigerator
Possible Solutions
Perform an Ice Cube Test
To determine if the ice maker is making the correct amount of ice a cube count test can be performed.
Cube Count Test
- Completely empty the ice bin
- Wait 24 hours (do not use and/or dispense any ice during this time)
- Remove the ice bin and count the ice cubes
This type of ice maker should produce 56 - 72 cubes, during normal operating conditions. If the cube count test results within the normal range the ice maker is working correctly.
Does your water filter need to be replaced?
It is recommended that the water filter be replaced every 6 months, when the indicator light comes on, or as needed. A clogged water filter can cause several issues including low or no ice production. Replacing your water filter regularly will also help reduce the amount of containments in the water supply.
Was the water system flushed after filter installation or replacement?
Flushing the system is needed every time the filter is changed or once the refrigerator is installed to the water supply line for the first time. Air in the water system can cause several issues including low or no ice production.
