If you think that your ice maker’s water might be clogged, but you’re unsure, it’s simple and quick to check. Just remove the water filter and install a bypass plug. Then, test the water for increased flow. If the water is flowing properly, then you know that the water filter is clogged and needs to be replaced. If you have lost your bypass plug, contact the unit’s manufacturer and they can send you a new one.
A partially clogged water filter can cause an ice maker to operate inefficiently. If water cannot travel through the filter, it cannot reach the dispenser. If there is an insufficient amount of water, the ice maker can’t make ice! That’s why we recommend changing your ice maker’s water filter at least once every six months. Our friendly technicians can help you determine which water filter you need and change it out for you.
