  Your Insignia Refrigerator may not be working because it is not securely plugged into a working outlet, the power source has the incorrect voltage, or the house fuse is broken. Make sure that your refrigerator is securely plugged into a working outlet and that your power source has the correct voltage. Also, check the house fuse or circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.

  Theresa MorganAug 22, 2025
  If ice is not dispensing from your Insignia Refrigerator, wait 12 hours after installing the water supply line before trying to dispense ice. Make sure that the water line is connected and the water valve is open. Ensure that the ice dispenser is not in off mode and that no ice is blocking the ice maker bucket or ice chute. If the water pressure is less than 30 psi, try installing a booster pump. Also, make sure that the freezer compartment temperature is not set too warm. If you just dispensed a large amount of ice, wait at least 90 minutes before dispensing more ice.
