Ice maker failing to work normally

Check whether the ice maker switch is turned on; whether the freezing chamber door is closed or ajar; Whether the water valve is opened; whether water supply is obstructed, or water pressure is too low; Whether the temperature of the freezing chamber is high due to just power connection or frequent use.

Water leakage from ice outlet upon power-on for the first time

When the refrigerator is powered on for the first time, the system will execute self-check; at the moment, there may be a little water flowing out from the ice outlet of the ice maker; this is a self-check action and is normal.

No ice out from dispenser

If the temperature of the freezing chamber is high or the door is opened and closed frequently, ice cubes in the ice storage box may join together; take out ice cubes from the ice storage box, break them, and then put back, and discard ice that is not broken.

When the successive time of taking ice exceeds 1 minute, stop for 5 minutes and then take ice again.

Check whether the valve is opened; the ice maker starts to make ice after the water system works normally.

The door of the freezing chamber is not closed; make sure that all doors are closed.

No water out from dispenser

When the ambient temperature is lower than -2°C, no water will come out due to low-temperature icing of the water pipe, and try to take water after the ambient temperature rises.

If you take water for above 3 minutes once, the refrigerator will execute automatic protection; release the ice discharge button for a while, and then take water again.

Warm water out from dispenser

Because the water pipe has a section exposed outside the refrigerator, the temperature of the first cup of water taken may be high; just continue to take water to get cold water.

Dispenser blocked

Ice melted is frozen on the screw rod; this is due to infrequent use or sharp temperature change, or overvoltage. Empty the ice storage box, clean, wipe dry, and then put back.

Ice frozen together when ice maker operates stably

If ice is not used usually, ice cubes may be frozen together; take out the frozen ice cubes from the ice storage box, break into pieces, and then put back, or discard directly.
