Temperature controls are preset at the factory to the "mid setting" which should be correct for normal household use. The controls are set correctly when beverages are as cold as you would like.
If the refrigerator is too warm ice production can be impacted. Try adjusting the controls to a colder setting to aid in ice production.
If you need to adjust the temperature, wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and then recheck the temperature.

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.
