Problem for Sub-Zero 561 / F

Ice Maker stopped working

The freezer door was left ajar for several hours, the freezer frosted over and then the ice maker stopped working.

I defrosted the water line and that did not help.

How do you tell if the water valve needs to be replaced?

Thank you

-   Thank you for your help.
I defrosted the freezer yesterday afternoon and the ice maker still is not working.
Before, when the icemaker worked, I could hear water pumped into the freezer, now I do not hear any water sounds... -   ossify_54659

You need to defrost the freezer. By the door being ajar, there was excessive ice build up on the coil that was not removed during a system defrost resulting in a blocked coil. This caused the temperature to rise in the freezer above twelve degrees that is why the ice maker stopped.

- Turn the unit off and remove cover over coil, then use a hair drier.
