Ensuring Correct Water Pressure
How to Ensure Correct Water Pressure for your Jenn-Air Refrigerator
Having correct water pressure will help with proper water dispensing and ice production. If you suspect you might have decrease water pressure, check the following:
- A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi (207-827 kPa) is required to properly operate the ice maker.
- Make sure that the water shutoff valve is fully opened.
- Make sure the water supply line is not kinked. A kinked water line will reduce water flow.
- Check the water filter. If the water filter is clogged it will decrease the water pressure.
- Using a reverse-osmosis system.
If you still have questions regarding your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
Tips for using a reverse-osmosis system
Connecting a refrigerator to a reverse-osmosis system could also lower the water pressure to the refrigerator, which will result in small ice cubes or low ice production.
- The water pressure to the reverse-osmosis system should be at least 40-60 psi (275-414 kPa).
- If connected to a reverse-osmosis system, the following items may improve the water pressure:
- Allow the storage tank for the reverse-osmosis system to refill after heavy use.
- If the refrigerator also has a water filter, remove it.
- Make sure the sediment filter in the reverse-osmosis system is not blocked and replace if necessary.
