When an automatic refrigerator ice maker or countertop ice machine produces only small, hollow, or stunted amounts of ice, the malfunction is typically caused by restricted water pressure, a partially clogged water filter, or high ambient freezer temperatures. If a sediment-clogged water filter restricts the flow rate during the brief window that the electronic water inlet valve stays open, insufficient water enters the mold tray. Additionally, a freezer set too warm slows down freezing speeds. You can troubleshoot water flow easily by checking filter status. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when replacing a clogged water filter, lowering freezer temperatures, or clearing supply lines restores full ice production volume.
