· Is the water storage box installed accurately? Make sure there is enough water in the water storage box.
· Did you manually stop the ice making function? Make sure you have set the Cubed or Crushed mode on.
· Is there any ice blocked within the ice maker bucket or ice chute?
· Is the freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the freezer temperature lower.
· Is the water line connected and the water valve open?
· Has the water line been crushed or kinked? Make sure the water line is free and clear of any obstruction.
