Amana ARB224RCW ice maker

My ice maker stopped making ice. No ice jams were found, and we turned it off and cleaned it. Still not working. Suggestions?

Is the freezer cold enough? Should be close to 10 degrees.
Is there water or ice in the ice mold? If not put water in it and see if it dumps the ice after it’s frozen. If there is ice, lift the cut off arm and let it drop to see if it will start.
If it does dump the ice but don’t refill with water.
Try swapping the wires on the dual water inlet valve. Then try the water dispenser. The water should go to the ice maker. This will tell you weather or not the ice maker valve is working and if the line is clear.

The water inlet valve on the back of unit opens when the ice maker needs water. If the valve doesn't seal good because of sediment or wear it will continue to drip and when the water reaches the ice maker supply tube it will freeze. You can take the water line off the valve and watch to see if it drips.

    If it doesn't dump after it's frozen I would try dropping the wire cut off bail to see if it will make the switch and get started. If that doesn't work...


    On some models you can replace the motor module or just replace the ice maker.

WATER + ELECTRICITY = ICE. ABOVE THE ICE TRAY IS A THICK WIRE LEVER MAKE SURE IT IS DOWN.... WHEN THE ICE LEVEL GETS HIGH, ICE PUSHES THIS LEVER UP AND STOPS THE ICE MAKING CYCLE.

AMANA ARB2257C ice maker makes noise/doesn't eject cubes into bin

Hi: First off make sure the fridge is level. Is It too high in front? Making the rear of the icemaker overflow and jam? Also make sure the freezer section is a zero degrees, not just frozen. Ice cream should be rock hard. I hope this helps you avoid calling service. Thank You, Jeff
