# How to Adjust the Timer on an Ice Maker
The timer on your ice maker determines how often the unit makes ice and how much water it uses to make that ice. If you find that your ice maker is making too much or too little ice for your needs, you can adjust the timing screw to reduce or increase the amount of water and change the timing of ice production.

Turn the screw clockwise to decrease the amount of water flowing into the unit and make ice more slowly. Turn the set screw counterclockwise to increase the water flow and make ice more quickly.
