Dave,

How long does it take to make a batch of cubes ?

On average, it takes 50 minutes from fill to refill under proper conditions,
(freezer temp 0 dgrs and proper air flow in the freezer compartment).

The cubes should be clear and solid, not hollow or appear to have layers.

Also check for a proper door seal, and dispenser flapper seal,

Have you checked and replaced your water system filter recently ?

A slow fill, due to a clogged / dirty filter can delay the ice production as well.

You may want to do these basic checks, and get back with us, so we have a better direction to take from here.

:) :) :)

Dave,

You should probably reset the control to mid range (3) and wait 24 hours,

Check the air temperature on the middle shelf,

You want to see somewhere between 3 and 5 degrees, that will correspond to a product temp of 0 degrees (usually).

Always wait 24 hours between settings and adjust control 1 setting at a time,until you get to the reccomended temperature.

Good Luck,

:cool: :cool: :cool:
