When you press a cup or glass against the dispenser of your freezer ice maker, you expect ice cubes to fall out on cue. But what if your ice maker is not producing enough ice to meet your needs? There are several common reasons that can create this problem. Analyze each of the reasons and we are sure you will find a solution that will work for you.
Why is the ice maker in the refrigerator slow – use our tips to avoid such issues in the future:
1. Reduce the temperature of the freezer: Ideally, your freezer should be set to a temperature between -15 and -18 degrees Celsius so that the food stays deeply frozen.
2. Check the settings on your appliance to see if the temperature is set higher than this. If it is, adjusting the thermostat should help the incoming water to freeze faster so that your ice maker works faster.
3. Stop opening the freezer door to check for ice: this dramatically slows down its production as it increases the internal temperature.
4. Keep the freezer compartment well stocked: with little or no food in the freezer compartment, it is difficult for the appliance to maintain the consistently low temperature required for ice formation.
5. Try to keep the freezer at least half full, if necessary fill it with water bottles to increase the volume.
6. Make sure that nothing is too close to the ice maker.
7. Make sure that there are no restrictions in the water supply and that it has enough pressure: a problem with the water supply can lead to the formation of small ice cubes.
8. Move the refrigerator away from the wall to check the water supply and the correct connection of all tubes.
9. Make sure they are not kinked or blocked. Also, turn the valve on the water supply line to the fully open position to ensure full pressure.
10. Replace the water filter. If your refrigerator has a filter that has not been changed recently, do it now. A clogged water filter can block the flow of water to the ice maker, causing it to operate slowly. After installing a new filter, let it run for a few cycles before using ice made in the freezer.
