Ensuring Correct Water Pressure
How to Ensure Correct Water Pressure for your Maytag Refrigerator?
Having correct water pressure will help with proper water dispensing and ice production. If you suspect you might have decreased the water pressure, check the following:
- To operate the ice maker properly, a cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi (207-827 kPa).
- Make sure that the water shutoff valve is fully opened.
- Make sure the water supply line is not kinked. A kinked water line will reduce water flow.
- Check the water filter. If the water filter is clogged, it will decrease the water pressure.
- Using a reverse-osmosis system.
Call a licensed, qualified plumber if you still have questions regarding your water pressure.
Tips for Using a Reverse-Osmosis System
Connecting a refrigerator to a reverse-osmosis system could also lower the water pressure to the refrigerator, resulting in small ice cubes or low ice production.
- The water pressure to the reverse-osmosis system should be at least 40-60 psi (275-414 kPa).
- If connected to a reverse-osmosis system, the following items may improve the water pressure:
- Allow the storage tank for the reverse-osmosis system to refill after heavy use.
- If the refrigerator also has a water filter, remove it.
- Make sure the sediment filter in the reverse-osmosis system is not blocked and replace if necessary.
