Common Ice Maker Issues and their Solutions

1. The Ice Maker is Not Making Ice: 'No Ice', that's the coldest thing your Ice maker can ever say to you. Often, the water supply is the troublemaker here. Check if the water line is connected, frozen, or kinked. Also, make sure that the water pressure is to the mark.

2. The Ice Maker is Making too Much Ice: Sounds like a Snowman's dream come true, doesn't it? But in reality, it's a signal that your ice maker's shut-off arm or switch might be malfunctioning. It's time for a check-up!

3. The Ice Cubes are ‘Not-So-Cubey’: Misshapen or tiny ice cubes are often a result of a blocked water supply. Inspect the water line and filters for potential blockages.

4. The Ice Tastes Funny: Ice that tastes bad? Yikes! It's like a joke with a bad punchline. This issue usually arises due to dirty water filters. Remember to change them every six months or as per the user manual instructions.
