I turned off the freezer for a little while, then used my hair dryer to blow hot air where the water flows in to the ice maker. In a few hours it was making ice again.

Water is not flowing into my GSI-23 ice maker.

As the harvest cycle (the ice maker fingers rotate to sweep the cubes out of the mold) comes near the end of the rotation, a switch in the ice maker activates to send power to the water valve (located under the refrigerator where the house water supply line connects) and allows perhaps 4 cc of water to flow up a 1/4" plastic line to a fitting on the back of the refrigerator that is aligned with the ice maker inside which then flows into the maker mold. That process refills the ice maker mold and everything shuts off to freeze this water and then initiate another harvest cycle when the entire process is repeated. If there is no water, then there is no ice. Focus on why the water isn't flowing all the way to the ice maker. Look for an ice blockage in the tubing that comes from the back, inside wall of the freezer to the ice maker, or a bad valve. It is rare, but the switch inside the ice maker could be bad. The water valve or a blocked water line are most likely the culprits. Another trick is to pour water into the ice maker mold, wait several hours and see if that freezes and ejects into the pan. If so the ice maker is working, it just has no water to freeze.

No water no ice

Change the=> 67006531 Water Inlet Valve I believe the side of your 67006531 Water Inlet Valve that controls water flow to the ice maker has weakened and cannot open properly. Replace the water valves and I believe the ice maker will work fine, Sea Breeze

Ice maker just stopped making ice. had no problem up to a complete stop

Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly

First off make sure the water in door still works. If it does not work suspect the door / light switch.
Next make sure the freezer temp is below 16 Deg F. The ice maker has a thermostat that starts the ice harvest / fill cycle and if the freezer is warming up because of automatic defrosting problems (Ice build up on the evaporator coils) the ice maker will never cycle. If you note an ice build up in the back of the freezer compartment or poor air flow from the evaporator fan you have an automatic defrosting problem. If the fan is not running at full speed the bearings or windings on the evaporator fan are failing and there is not enough air flow to get the freezer to @ or Below 16 F.

Check to make sure the evaporator fan in the freezer and the condenser fan in the rear bottom of the unit are running un-obstructed. (clean as necessary.... but if the front of the cabinet is hot to the touch then the condenser coils my be clogged with lint or... the condenser fan is not running full speed.

The ice maker may be cycling but it may not be filling with water. If it is cycling but your not getting any water.... at all the prime suspect is the solenoid on the inlet water valve. The water valve is not repairable.

Make sure that the rubber fill tube on the back of ice maker is not blocked with ice... squeeze the end of the tube. If it is frozen with ice... the inlet water valve is bypassing water off cycle and causing the tube to freeze up. The only remedy for this is to replace the inlet water valve.

Thanks for choosing FixYa,
Kelly

We have an Electrolux S/S side by side w/Ice&water though the freezer door. The water flow through the door has been inoperative for several months but the ice maker continued to work fine. Water...

check and see if there is a built in filter pack inside the back of the fridge or it could possibly be that one of the lines has froze internally and or the open close valve at the water inlet inside has worn out

Water will not flow into ice maker

This could be 2 reasons for this The water control valve on back for the ice maker is defective or the thermostat inside the ice maker is defective. You can pore water into an empty ice maker and let it freeze. If it cycles and does not refill with water I would say that the water control valve is defective. Your refrigerator has 2 dual water control valves one is for the water filter assembly the one on the back is part number 61005626
Let me know what you find, Thanks sea Breeze click link below and enter model or part number in search feature.

GE model GSH25JFTACC ice maker not working

When an ice maker is producing ice poorly--when it produces just a few cubes or none, or when the cubes are too small--it's usually because of a clogged water line or a defective water inlet valve.

First, check the water line attached to the back of the refrigerator for good water flow. To do that, first turn off the water supply valve. Then remove the water line from the back of the refrigerator. Next, place the water line into a bucket and momentarily turn the water valve back on to test the flow. If the flow is poor, you need to repair, clean, or replace the tubing or the shut-off valve that supplies the water. If the flow is good, you may have to replace the water inlet valve.

Water doesnt stop after ice tray is filled

there is a micro switch in the ice maker motor module that shuts power off to the ice-maker water valve when the ice maker is full but i rarely see them go bad this is the easy way to deal with it pull the unit out unplug both the valves and turn the water on a sec if its running in the ice maker with the valves are unplugged then replace the valves if its not replace the ice-maker motor module
