What happens if my ice maker is turned on but not connected to a water supply?
If the ice maker is not connected to a water supply line but remains turned on, it could cause a buzzing noise, make the refrigerator too cold, cause food in the crisper drawers to freeze, and make the freezer section get too cold. To prevent these issues, turn off the ice maker if you have decided not to use it.
