Kenmore side by side icemaker not working after power outage, but water at door dispencer

This happens on my Sub Zero. I turn the whole fridge off for 30 seconds and this resets the teeny-weeny "brain" on the ice maker. Simple and can't hurt to try.....

1.Bad water valve located in the back bottom of refrigerator.
2. Frozen fill tube going into back of ice maker. (common problem)
3. Ice maker not cycling. Pour water into ice maker cavity until near filled.
Wait a few hours and see if it dumps.
4.In rare cases, the switch in the ice maker body fails. Ice maker will cycle but not tell water valve to refill.

the water that enters the ice maker is controled by a thing called a solenoid valve (electricaly operated) the" water in door system" is a manual operated valve.. typicaly when the ejector rolls around to put the ice in the tray the solenoid opens lets water in then closes could be solenoid / wireing or controler
good luck

check to see if the hose going into icemaker is frozen. unclog it

check where the line connects at the bottom of frezzer door

There is one water valve but two solenoids, one for the icemaker and one for the water dispencer. If power is getting to the solenoid then replace the water valve. No power getting to the solenoid then the switch at the dispencer is bad.

Do you hear it trying to draw water into the ice tray? If so, there might be an internal problem you can't fix yourself. especially since the fridge is dispencing water. Is the arm inside the ice maker pushe down? This is what tells the ice maker to fill and make the ice.

Let me know if this helps.

mike you might have a frozen fill tube check for that also are you getting wtr ook at the dispencer if you dont recheck water supply again

Hi jkalmada,
I will give you an easy way to test your refrigerator to find out if the water solonoid is defective.
In the back of the refrigerator you will see a small plastic and metal item called a double inlet valve. The water line from the wall will conect to this item. To check this all you need to do is pull the plugs off of the unit and reverse them. This will cause water to go into the icemaker when you push the water button on the door. If water will fill into the icemaker when you push the button then the solonoid is bad, and will need to be replaced. If no water goes into the icemaker when you push the botton the the switch behind the button is bad. NOTE, be sure to put the plugs back on the correct side of the solonoid after testing, or you may have some water problems.
One other solution that can happen. If the water in the cooling tank behind the crisper drawer is frozen then the water will not make it to the door, so make sure it is not frozen. and the only thing left that can cause this problem is the water filter, but if it is making ice, the problem will not be in the water filter. If you have anymore questions please give us a call Monday thru Friday 9-5 EST.
