How long does it take for the ice bins to fill up? I've had my refrigerator for a week now and it's not even half full. null

I had to move the ice forward for it to fill the bins completely because it just pulled all the ice in the back. Once I did that it filled the bins more.

Mine is hooked to a RO water system with a booster pump. Took a few days to fill. I learned to move the ice forward in the bin. And then it makes more ice.

Hi Milla,

Great question. We understand and appreciate your inquiry about how long it take to fill the ice bins of the fridge.

The ice maker can make 10 pounds of ice a day; it can only hold 2 pounds of ice at a time. Once the ice bucket is full, the ice maker will stop. 
The ice maker can approximately make two trays of ice every 3 hours.

For the ice maker to operate properly, water pressure must be between 30-125 psi (206-861 kPa). If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 30 psi / 206 kPa), 
you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.

Have a great day.
