My icemaker is filling and freezing the water but it is not dumping very quickly. About 30 minutes ot more. Is there a button or adjustment we can do to get it to dump more sooner? Or do weed need something else to fix it?:)

If it is making ice and dumping it I would leave it alone.

The unit does not dump the ice as soon as it freezes.
There is a thermostat that measures the mold's temperature so the mold must get down to a set point (15 degrees F) before the unit starts the harvest cycle.

Following is what the manual says.
With a temperature of -2°F to +5°F in the freezer, the rate of harvest will be 8 - 12 cycles per 24 hour period.

You could check your freezer temperature and adjust it lower.
If you lower the freezer temperature you may also have to reduce the amount of cold air entering the fresh food section with the control in the freezer. The fresh food section should be about 40 degrees F.
