Problem Solution
Ice maker (some models) is
not producing ice.
• Confirm ice maker arm is down.
• Confirm household water supply is reaching water valve.
• Confirm ice maker wiring harness is completely inserted into proper holes.
• Check for kinks in copper or plastic tubing. Remove kinks or replace tubing.
• Check electrical connections to water valve coil and connector block on
refrigerator cabinet.
• Confirm Deepfreeze

section is operating at proper temperature.
Ice cubes have an odor. • See Odor Removal instructions in Care and Cleaning section.
• Discard ice and clean ice bucket or trays more frequently. Ice cubes are porous
and absorb odors easily.
Ice cubes stick together or
‘shrink’.
• Empty ice cube bucket or trays more frequently. If used infrequently, ice cubes
may stick together or shrink.
Ice forms in inlet tube to ice
maker (some models).
• Check water pressure. Low water pressure will cause valve to leak. Self-
piercing valves cause low water pressure.
Amana recommends using a
saddle valve. Contact 1-800-843-0304 or an Amana dealer for availability.
Do not use self-piercing valve. Amana is not responsible for property
damage due to improper installation or water connection.
