Is there some kind of adjustment for the water inlet valve. I have good pressure, no blocked lines, and still get hollow cubes. I have replaced everything twice. Cubes do not make it through the entire ice maker. Hollow and only filling first four slots. I have tried leaning the ice maker downslope, and there is no water still reaching end of ice maker. Does the refridgerator have anything to do with the function of the ice maker. I have bled the lines to get air out as well.

No adjustment for the inlet valves, only on the ice maker. Some have an adjustment behind the plastic cover marked -/+ which you would turn toward the +.

Does it flow through good when you swap the wires on the water inlet valve and try the water dispenser.

Have you checked the pressure at the valve or are you talking about just your house water pressure.

There may be a screen filter just before the valve which can get clogged.

No screen filter that I can see. Pressure in house and when I did bucket test was good. Checked water shut off valve and it was not restricted. I finally switched the wires and have solid cubes. Thanks. Can you tell me why that makes a difference. I appreciate the help.
