Icemaker will not shut off - GALAXY Microsystems 25.4 cu. ft. Side-By-Side Refrigerator with Filtered Ice and Water

If the icemaker is leaking water onto the floor:

• Turn off the icemaker and then turn off the water supply to the icemaker. See Icemaker On/Off Switch.
• The water supply line is usually located under the kitchen sink.
• Locate the cold water line and look for a small 1/4" copper line attached to it. Where these two lines meet, there will be a saddle valve. This is the shut-off valve. Turn this valve in a clockwise manner until it stops. This will shut off the water to the icemaker.

the icemaker arm on the L g are diferent dont try to pull up not a shut off arm this has a switch under side of ice maker if u kift up on the arm on this icemaker yo uwill need to buy a new icemaker and they arent cheap check for an ice jam between auger in icemaker if you havent pulled up on arm ive also seen the water fill tube to icemaker frozen

Yes, every time the icemaker cycles, it will switch in power to the icemaker water valve. the icemaker is pretty much a standalone device. All it needs is power and water supply, and valve. If it has both, and is not working properly, then the icemaker is bad.

There should be a shut off valve at the beginning of the water line that the installer tapped into when installing your icemaker. Mine runs down through my kitchen floor into my laundry room and is tapped into a copper cold waterline with a small handle attached to it.

To stop icemaker from making ice simply raise the lever to the up position that is attached and hangs next to your icemaker tray. This works on most models.

The line to the icemaker won't have water coming out until the icemaker cycles and energizes the solenoid valve. check the inlet tube where it goes into the icemaker. sometimes this freezes shut. you can also check the continuity of the icemaker solenoid.

icemaker is jammed; try moving; the icemaker switch is in the off position. The fan is not on the icemaker circuit.

Temp control sensor is probably bad, consistantly calling for cold air.

check see if the lever arm in the icmaker is up

The icemaker inlet valve is stuck, or the solenoid that controls the icemaker is shorted. both parts must be tested.

Emptyed out freezer unit & shut it off. Took a hair dryer and blew hot air for about 3 minutes on ice maker unit just in case it had an ice block. Left door open and let is stand for about 10 minutes. Turned everything back on and it started making ice.
