Ice Maker not working at all (by 10 users)
I have been having trouble with my KitchenAid Superba for few months. First, the water and ice maker stopped working, nothing dispensed. Later, after few days, it started to work by itself. It did this few times and suddenly it was not working properly. Two weeks ago the ice maker quit making ice but the water dispenser still working. We have trouble shoot few areas and have follow advises and ideas but nothing works. This is an expensive refrigerator that should not be giving problems withing the first two years of usage. Can you help?
Thanks in advance

The ice maker in my KitchenAid Superba has stopped working. I think it is jammed with ice inside the mechanism.

I have a 2005 KitchenAid 25.4 cu.ft.side by side ( mod. no. KSRJ25CNSTOO) My ice maker worked for about 5 months. It could be my imagination and it may not have anything to do with my problem but it seemed that when harvesting ice it got a lot louder. As if the ice was hanging up and then releasing hard into the ice dispenser. That said this is what I discovered. I have a modular type ice maker. My ice maker does nothing . Using the service sheet provided by the manufacturer I tried to trouble shoot the problem. My emmiter and receiver light seems to be okay. The light stays on continuously which means the optics are good. Voltage to the reciever board is good but voltage from the receiver to the ice maker is only approximately 74vac. I know my ice maker motor is good because i ran power straight to it and it ran through its cycles fine. My heater ohm out good as well. So, is it my receiver or what ?

I have a kenmore refrigerator model #74259. The water dispenser works but the ice maker doesn't. I have water in the line up to where it enters the rear of the freezer. the fill tube is clear of ice. I filled the unit with water manually and it did not dispense ice.
ApprenticeIt started making ice a few minutes after plugging it back in. Obviously the line that supplies the water had frozen and this allowed it to un-freeze.
We didn't remove any of the frozen items in the freezer, at the two hour mark, everything in the freezer was still mostly frozen.

One other cause for excessive humidity is the possibility that the flap on the ice dispenser in the door does not close fully. I've noticed that when it does make ice, the ice tends to clump up in the container(in the door). Which leads me to believe that the flap is indeed not closing fully.
Would not recommend this model or A&E service (warranty service co.). We purchased the 3 year warranty, but the problem seems chronic and indemic to this model.

The refrigerator leaks on the bottom. My husband replaced the filter in the back. The one that filters water. The refridgerator has no wheels to help move it. So, of course, the floor is now ruined. We thought after that the system would work. Well nothing works. We inherited the fridge with the house. It is about a 1993 Kenmore. We are at our wits end.
