“Why is my lower ice maker in my samsung RF323TEDBSR inconsistent in making ice? We seem to use a lot of ice. Sometimes it seems like ice is being made in the lower freezer section but most of the time we end up dumping the ice from the refrigerator section into the bin. How can we get the lower ice maker to make more ice?”

The lower ice maker in the RF323TEDBSR is designed to produce approximately 3 lbs of ice per day under ideal conditions, which is a little more than half of the 5.5 lb storage capacity of the ice bin. When the Ice Master ice maker in the refrigerator is being used alone (so the lower one is turned off), it can produce up to 10 lbs of ice per day. When both ice makers are turned on, the total combined production capacity is 11.8 lbs. Production may vary depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other factors, so if yours is making less than this, I would suggest checking the following: - The recommended temperature for the freezer compartment is 0°F. If the freezer temperature is set higher than this, it could slow ice production. - Is something pressing against the lever that detects when the ice bin is full? The ice maker will not produce ice if it detects a full bin. - Have you tried pressing the Test button on the ice maker to reset it? - Have you replaced your water filter recently? A clogged or partially clogged filter can slow water flow and affect ice production. After replacing the filter, be sure to dispense up to 6 gallons of water to bleed air from the lines. - Is your home's water pressure sufficient? In order for the ice maker to operate properly, water pressure of 20~125 psi is required. Under normal conditions, a 6 oz glass can be filled in about 10 seconds. If the Refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 20psi), you may be able to install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure. - The Power Freeze feature can help increase ice production by running the compressor for an extended period of time. I hope this information helps to maximize the ice production in your RF323TEDBSR. Thank you for choosing Samsung! Ms. Samsung
