Low Ice Production - Built-In Refrigerator
Possible Solutions
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 may cause dripping at the dispenser or small/hollow ice cubes.

Is the water filter installed correctly?
If the water filter is incorrectly installed it can reduce the water flow to the ice maker, which will cause thin ice cubes or low ice production.

NOTE: If your water filter is located below the crisper drawer, make sure the water filter is locked into place and the arrows are aligned.
Is the water filter damaged?
- Remove the filter and inspect it for cracks or damage.
- If the filter is cracked or damaged, replace the filter with a new one.
Are the o-rings correctly installed on the filter?
- Be sure the O-rings are still in place.
- If the O-rings are damaged or missing, replace the filter.
Does your water filter need to be replaced?
A clogged or incorrectly installed water filter will reduce the water flow to the ice maker, which will result in thin ice cubes or low ice production. If the refrigerator has a water dispenser, check for a problem with the filter by doing the following:
- Dispense water using the water dispenser and note the amount of water flow.
- Remove the filter. The filter is located either in the base grille or inside the refrigerator compartment.
- Dispense water with the filter removed. If the water flow noticeably increases, the filter is either clogged or incorrectly installed. A clogged filter will need to be replaced in order to correct the low flow.

Is there a kink in the water supply line?
A kink in the water source line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water source line to restore adequate water flow and pressure. To help reduce the chances of a pinched water line, do not push the refrigerator too far back against the wall or cabinet.
