I’m having problems with the ice makers not making ice since it was delivered Monday. The water supply seems good. Should the filter be left out or a dummy plug put in for the ice makers to get enough flow? null

I was told by a salesperson from Spencers that leaving out the filter if you have RO system will improve flow and craft ice quality.

We regret to read that you are having problems with the ice makers in the Energy Star® Qualified LG 29.5 Cu. Ft. 4-Door French Door-in-Door Smart Refrigerator with Craft Ice™ - Black Stainless Steel, Model # LRMDS3006D, not making ice since it was delivered, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.
The refrigerator has a built-in water filter bypass so it will still operate with or without a water filter installed.
When the refrigerator was installed, was the water pressure checked?
The water pressure for this refrigerator should be between 20 - 120 psi (138 - 827 kPa). Refrigerator ice makers require consistent water pressure, typically between 20-120 psi, to function properly. Low pressure (under 20 psi) causes slow production, small or hollow ice cubes, and jams. High pressure can cause splashing, leaks, and ice buildup. Common issues include clogged filters, kinked lines, or faulty inlet valves...^Ivan.
