   • A kink in the line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water source line.
   • Confirm ice maker is in the ON position.
   • The recommended temperature for the freezer compartment for normal ice production is 0°F. If the freezer temperature is warmer, ice production will be affected.
   • If the doors are not properly closed, ice production will be affected.

The follow cases are not malfunction 

1. Moisture may form dew on the outside of the product during the humid season, just get it wiped.2.
