Not Making Ice - Side by Side Refrigerator

Is the ice maker turned on?

Check to make sure the ice maker is turned "on".  Below are a couple of common style ice makers, but for instructions for your specific refrigerator please reference the Owner's Manual.

Do you have the correct water pressure?

Hollow or small ice cubes, along with slow or no water dispensing is likely due to low water pressure. 

Connecting a refrigerator to a reverse-osmosis system could also lower the water pressure to the refrigerator, which will result in small ice cubes, low ice production or decrease amount of water being dispensed.

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.

Is the correct saddle valve installed?

• Having the incorrect saddle valve installed can lead to issues like low water pressure. 
• A low volume of water flow will cause small, hollow ice cubes or decreased amount of water dispensed. Be sure to use a ¼" type valve that requires a drilled hole.
• It is not recommended to use a self-piercing type or a 3/16" saddle valve, both of which clog easily. 

Is the water line connected to a water supply and turned on?

Make sure the water supply is properly connected to a cold water supply and the water shutoff valve is fully opened.
