Quick Assessment

Answer to continue safely

Is it safe to keep using?

Yes. Low water flow does not create a safety hazard. The ice maker will simply produce less or no ice until the flow issue is resolved.

Can I reset the code?

Yes. After fixing the water supply issue, the ice maker resumes normal production within a few cycles.

When to stop immediately?

Stop if you notice: Water leaks from supply connections, No water reaches the unit at all.

Symptoms You May Notice

Small, thin, or incomplete ice cubes

Ice cubes are undersized, hollow, or only partially formed.

Ice production is very slow

Far fewer ice cubes are produced per cycle than normal.

No ice being made at all

The ice mold fills partially or not at all, and no ice drops into the bin.

Possible Causes

1

Clogged water filter

The inline water filter is clogged with sediment, restricting flow.

DIY Possible
2

Kinked water supply line

The supply line running to the ice maker has a kink or bend restricting flow.

DIY Possible
3

Low water supply pressure

The household water pressure is below the minimum required (typically 20 PSI).

DIY Possible
4

Failed water inlet valve

The solenoid valve that controls water flow into the unit has failed.

Requires Professional

Safe Checks You Can Do

These checks are safe for homeowners. No disassembly required. Do not remove panels or access internal components.
  1. 1

    Replace the water filter

    If the ice maker has an inline filter, replace it. Filters should be changed every 6 months.

    A clogged filter is the most common cause of water flow issues on Jenn-Air ice makers.

  2. 2

    Check the supply line

    Verify the water supply valve is fully open. Inspect the line for kinks from behind the unit to the wall.

    Push the unit back carefully — supply lines can kink when an under-counter unit is repositioned.

When to Call a Professional

Contact a qualified technician if:

  • Water inlet valve does not open when powered
  • Adequate pressure but no flow through valve
  • Valve solenoid has no continuity
