Ice Quality Things to Check (in order) Turn on the icemaker • Either the word “Ice” (600, 700, PRO48) or a set of ice cubes (BI) appears in the control display Has the unit been on 24hrs? • Icemakers may not cycle until 24 hours pass Freezer temperatures are normal? • Freezer temperatures should be at or near 0°F • Cleaning the condenser can improve temperatures if not done recently Ice bucket is in place properly? • Ice bucket must make contact with the switches behind it for the icemaker to operate Icemaker arm is in the down position? • Turn unit off now and if arm is up, push down gently Blue or green ice is caused by copper corrosion Consult a plumber to clean the line connected to the refrigerator or replace it Adding one or replacing the water filter may help Black flecks in ice cubes Freezer odors cause ice to taste bad Clean the freezer using soap and water Place coffee grounds or charcoal briquettes in the freezer to absorb odor When the freezer does not smell bad, water supply to the unit is causing the problem Water travels through plastic tubing in the unit so often the unit is not the cause of bad tasting ice Plastic sensing arm is attached? • Reinstall if needed or replace if broken Icemaker is free of obstruction or jammed cubes? • After freeing obstructions, turn unit off then on again to reset, ensuring icemaker is on • Use a hairdryer on low to free stuck ice cubes Any water supply issues? (Causes small cubes/no ice) Water must be turned on, shutoff might be located: Stop use and contact a factory certified service Hollow ice cubes Clean condenser, set temperatures right, contact factory certified service if still unresolved Ice Production Standard production is 64-96 ice cubes per day May take 2 days to fill ice bucket full from empty • Under the kitchen sink An average glass holds about 10-12 ice cubes • Under the refrigerator behind the kick plate 6-8 glasses of ice empty the bucket of 24 hours of ice • In an adjacent cabinet • In the basement, near the water filter system 4.6 oz. of ice per harvest (each cube is 0.575 oz.), 8 cubes per harvest Low or no water pressure may cause the fill tube inside of the freezer to freeze BI-36F Bucket Capacity (lbs) 8 BI-48S 7 5 7 Use a hairdryer on low, aim the warm air at the water fill tube for 5-10 minutes keeping the air moving to prevent damage (500, 600) BI-42S 6 5.5 8 BI-36S 6 4.5 7 BI-42SD 11 4.7 5.5 • Change water filters as often as recommended, typically every 6 – 12 months (BI, PRO48) BI-48SD 11 5 7 BI-30U(G) 6 N/A N/A • Reseat the water filter by removing and reinstalling BI-36U(G) 6 3.9 6.5 If ice production stops often using reverse osmosis system or well water system, consider adding a pressure booster or regulator PRO48 11.3 4 N/A • Manually defrost the freezer for 4-6 hours by turning it off OR Contact the reverse osmosis provider or speak with a plumber for suggestions “Service Ice” is flashing? (600,700) • Turn refrigerator off then on to reset “Service Ice” flashing Single cube is flashing? (BI) • Press Max Ice and Ice On/Off together for ½ second Let 24 hours pass and check for ice production If no results, call factory certified service Model UC-24CI Daily Production (lbs) 4.5 Speed Ice per Day (lbs) 6.5 6 3.5 to 4.5 4.5 700TFI,700BFI, 700BCI,700TCI IC-27F 7.5 BF: 4.5 / TC:3.5 BC, TF: 4 3 N/A 245 6.9 249FFI 8.6 601F,501F,201F 9.2 611, 511,650,550 7.0 632, 532, 3211 9.2 661, 561 6.2 695, 690, 590 7.8 685, 680 6.8 801 8.6 5 N/A
