Why does ice maker make ice but but very s-l-o-w-l-y?

1. Reset the ice maker: Check the manual that came with your fridge for instructions on how to reset the ice maker. Many refrigerator models have a reset button or switch that can be used to reset the ice maker.
2. Check the water supply: Be sure the water supply to the refrigerator has not been turned off or become obstructed. If the water supply is turned off or obstructed, the ice maker will not make ice.
3. Check for obstructions: Make sure there are no obstructions in the ice maker that would prevent it from making ice. If there is something blocking the ice maker, remove it and try again.
4. Check the ice maker components: check the components of the ice maker such as the water inlet valve, ice mold thermostat or heater. The problem could be with one of these components and replacing them might solve the problem.

If trying these steps doesn't solve the problem, it might be time to replace the ice maker.

If your Whirlpool WRF535SMBMOO refrigerator has an ice maker that starts and stops making ice, there could be a problem with the ice maker itself or with the water supply to the ice maker. Here are a few things you can try to fix the problem:

1. Make sure that the ice maker is turned on. The ice maker has an on/off switch or button that you may need to activate to start making ice.
2. Check the water supply line to make sure it is not kinked or clogged. The water supply line delivers water to the ice maker, and if it is blocked, the ice maker will not be able to make ice.
3. Check the water inlet valve to make sure it is open and functioning properly. The water inlet valve is responsible for controlling the flow of water to the ice maker, and if it is not working properly, the ice maker will not be able to make ice.
4. Check the ice maker for any visible damage or debris. If the ice maker is damaged or clogged with debris, it may not be functioning properly.

If the problem persists after trying these steps, it is possible that there is a problem with the ice maker itself. In this case, you may need to have the ice maker inspected by a technician to determine the cause of the issue.

Ice maker stopped making ice. For this problem you have check few things. First thing, is the water filling in the ice maker chamber and then ice maker not making ice? Or, the water is not filling in the ice maker chamber so it's not making ice. If the water is not filling in the ice maker chamber then it's clear that ice is not getting made due to no water in the chamber. For no water filling, the problem is either water supply valve turned off so water is not filling. Turn on the water supply and it will fill. But if the water supply is turned on then the other possibility is ice blockage in the water fill tube. There is a tube from which the water runs and enters the ice maker chamber. If this tube is blocked then water will not enter the chamber. The tube needs to be defrosted, by using hair dryer. This procedure melts the ice collected in the tube and water starts running again. But if water fill tube is completely clear and no ice blockage or any other blockage. Then other possibility is water valve at the back of ice maker unit. This water valve is for letting the water in the ice maker. The water valve open only for 7 seconds and in this time the water fills in the ice maker chamber and then water valve closes and the same procedure runs again in the next water filling cycle.------- For your information I will mention that there are two valves. One is the main valve the back of the fridge section. This main valve lets the water enter the refrigerator and other valve is at the back of ice-maker section. This other valve lets the water to enter the ice maker. In most of the cases the fault is water valve at the back of ice maker section. ------------- The other above possibilities which I gave you is water not filling in ice-maker chamber so it's not making ice. But now consider that water is filling in ice maker chamber but it's still not making ice. Then the problem is ice maker unit itself. This unit is controlled by main board. But in most cases if water is filling the ice maker but it's not making ice then its faulty ice maker unit. So see if the problem is water not entering the ice maker then the water fill tube is frosted by ice or the water valve at the back of ice maker is faulty. Replace the valve. ------------

The ice maker has a problem The ice maker is a separate appliance within the freezer section. Please see the How things Work section of our website to learn about the normal functioning of ice makers. Some common problems with ice makers are:

The ice maker has completely stopped producing ice
The ice maker is producing ice poorly
The ice maker has completely stopped producing ice Check to see whether the ice maker has been turned off. Here's how to check. Look for a wire along the right side of the ice maker that looks a bit like a coat hanger. If this wire is in the raised position, the ice maker is turned off. On some units you simply lower the wire to the down position to turn the ice maker on. On others, you lower a small red plastic lever to lower the wire. If the wire is in the proper position check the freezer temperature, it should be between 0-8 degrees Fahranheit. If it is warmer than 10-12 degrees, the ice maker may not produce any ice. Check your door seals and thermostat, repair/replace as necessary.

The ice maker is producing ice poorly When an ice maker is producing ice poorly--when it produces just a few cubes or none, or when the cubes are too small--it's usually because of a clogged water line or a defective water inlet valve.

First, check the water line attached to the back of the refrigerator for good water flow. To do that, first turn off the water supply valve. Then remove the water line from the back of the refrigerator. Next, place the water line into a bucket and momentarily turn the water valve back on to test the flow. If the flow is poor, you need to repair, clean, or replace the tubing or the shut-off valve that supplies the water. If the flow is good, you may have to replace the water inlet valve.

Many ice makers have an adjustment screw behind the front cover that shows plus or minus. Try the minus turn of the screw that should shorten the amount of time the ice maker fills. If electronic please call the company you purchased it from and explain the problem. Sea Breeze
