I have an ice maker that is not working correctly: it produces hollow ice cubes and makes whining and clicking sounds almost continuously. Occasionally I have to dig the chucks out of the dispenser so that it can make new ice. I believe it is due to low water pressure as the water dispenser does not dispense properly either--and never has since we brought the refrigerator.

We have a RO system for drinking water under our sink and our own well (not city water).

Does anyone know a quick fix for increasing the water pressure to the refrigerator? And, if I cannot fix it myself, who should I call, a plumber or the refrigerator repair man (it's a Maytag).

Thanks for your help.

This could be plumbing or a problem in the icemaker itself... but the plumbing of it is the first thing to check, so I'll move this there, where we have an excellent Plumber.

First of all you're going to have to establish the water PSI going into the ice maker. Ice makers work on approximate range of 35 to 50 PSI so if you're pressure's lower then that you've located the problem. Before you can start any kind of a repair you have to know what caused the problem in the first place. Test the pressure and get back to me. Regards, Tom

Rig it up,, see my posts

And... just would like to add I am a licensed refrigeration tech with commercial ice machine experience... email me @ [email protected] for some free (for real!) advice and suggestions :)

Should be help full but no need to reply in any fashion as it don't matter to me... :P
