NOTE: This
is a multi-solution answer since I don't have all the tech from your question to pinpoint your problem
But the solution is in here generically, if you read and study the solutions very,very carefully.
Check Temp inside freezer. It has to be down to about 10 or 15 degrees
This can cause slow ice making if its too high even tho its freezing everything else at 25 degrees
The ref. temp should be about 33-35
The Freezer temp should be 0 to 10 Any thing below these temps is overkill and a waste of elect
The higher the number you turn it up to is the coldest
The icemaker is 110v
See if water is in icemaker.
Pour water in Ice Maker and wait to see if it ejects.
If it ejects thenyou need to replace water valve in rear bottom of fridge(Its the part that
attaches to water line out of wall)
If it doesn't eject then it is a faulty Ice Maker.
If its leaking or no water at icemaker or door either one, then the valve at the rear bottom of ref needs replacing
I would check the fan in the freezer. Listen to see if it is running
It moves air to the ref from the freezer
Then check to see if freezer control is turned WARMER, which makes the Ref. colder
Also if it is getting drinking water to the door but not to the icemaker (or vice versa) Then you need to replace
the water valve at the bottom rear of the fridge. It is a double valve and one side is not working
Also this might be a common Defrost problem, Ice
is not being melted by the defrost system.The fan can't blow through the coils into the fridge.
Take out back panel of freezer to check for ice buildup. The coils should be clean.
There are three components to a defrost system- a heater,heater thermostat, and a timer unless you have a defrost electronic card.
Its best handled by a Technician but you could possibly do it by taking your model number to the nearest appliance parts store and asking for the parts. They are mostly located in freezer ,behind back panel on freezer coils.except the card which is usually located in ref The parts store will have info
Also check fan undernearh Ref in the rear
Clean condenser coils underneath
WATER SPLASHING IN FREEZER AT ICEMAKER
THE FILL TUBE IN BACK OF REFRIGERATOR CAN SLIP
AGAINST THE FILL RESERVOIR CAUSING A PARTIAL BLOCKAGE
OR BECOME CLOGGED WITH ICE.
REMOVE THE ICEMAKER AND INSPECT THE FILL TUBE.
RUN WATER IN TUBE TO ELININATE BLOCKAGE AND CHECK
TEMP IN FREEZER. IF TEMP IS BELOW 0 DEGREES, THATS
OVERKILL AND USUALLY A WASTE OF ELECTRICITY TO KEEP IT THAT COLD, NOT TO MENTION THE FILL TUBE FREEZING UP

The ice maker line freezes. I have thawed it, gotten water flow and one set of cubes but the line freezes again before in the time it takes to freeze the first set of cubes. What should I check next?

Check the water pressure or any filters in the water line or a crimp in the supply tube. Also make sure you totally defrost where the water enters the ice maker.

Maytag MFI2568AES- ice maker making ice but cannot harvest

Sounds like the thermostat inside the ice maker that allows the heater to come on during harvest cycle is bad. You will need to replace the ice maker.

I have an Amana SD125F-L refrig-freezer. The rubber tube which carries water from inside the freezer wall to the ice maker tray frequently freezes solid with ice. After thawing with a hair dryer, it...

Hi Jan, the problem is a bad ice maker water valve. Pull the refrigerator out and look for the plastic water line that's going to the tube that's freezing. Follow that tube to the faulty water valve. The problem is, its leaking water slowly to the ice maker and it freezes up . Easy fix : Good luck

Maytag model MSD2754FR - water tube to ice maker is freezing and causing water leakage and no ice cubes.

Hello,

The reason that tube is frozen is because the water inlet valve is defective and not fully closing yet staying open a little and water is seeping through that tube and freezeing...its only a small drop but soon th enext drop freezes as well then before long a buch of little drops freezes resulting in the tube totally freezing. Replacing the water inlet valve will prevent the seeping thats the cause of it freezing up, the part number for that valve is 61005626 it could be purchased at your local appliance partstore or online at;

Ice maker not making ice

Not sure what model you have, but recommend you check to see if there's not a cube stuck in the dispersal unit. If not, then check plastic water supply tube in the back of the icemaker, sometimes they freeze solid and won't let water flow into the ice tray. I've had to use a hair dryer to defrost it if the freezer temp gets too low. Also, sometimes the ice maker inadvertently lets too much water enter the trays and it slightly overflows, which results in the freezing of the gears and paddles of the maker and you simply have to chip away the excess ice that overflowed the trays. If none of the above are the case, make sure you still have a solid water supply to the back of the unit, if the line runs outside of the heated portion of your home, it could have frozen outside of the fridge. Hope this helps.

The line to our ice maker is frozen solid with ice. Do you know how to get the ice out of it? I'd prefer to not have to defrost the whole thing.

Pull the refrig out from the wall and you will see where the single tube to the ice maker goes . Try removing the line housing straight out the back , and thawing at the sink . Or , 2 screws hold the ice maker on . Remove the ice maker and thaw the line with a hair dryer . You will need to replace the water valve ( the piece the wall water line connects to on the refrig ) due to a seeping problem . When the valve does not close completely , drops will seep into the fill tube and freeze , thereby , blocking the normal rate of water , entering the ice maker .

Ice Maker frost and freeze where ice drops into refrigerator door

You need a service guy to look at it. It could be water leaking or a simple case that the flap isnt sealing and the ice melts and then freezes the flap open

Ice maker is freezing up

The solenoid valve can leak slightly to make your problem. To check it, undo the tube from the solenoid to the freezer with the solenoid unplugged, and the water pressure on. Any leakage is bad, replace it.
