Icemaker quit working but water side works still.

I had that happen and it turned out the cat had bitten through the water line that feeds water to the icemaker. Water had gushed out of the line onto the floor and since the icemaker couldn't get any new water to make ice with, it quit working. A clog, the line simply coming disconnected or a different kind of pet going after the line could also cause this problem. Luckily, a new line isn't expensive, and if you rub some habanero sauce on it, the cats and the rabbits both leave it alone.

icemaker quite? hire a new icemaker. industry joke sorry.
First things first, is it cooling ok? if yes then proceed.
im assuming it stopped making ice altogether, and not a matter of making ice but not dispensing.

If your ice bucket is located in the door itself, you have an electric eye icemaker system, which electronically determines if the bucket is full or not. this electric eye system, located on both side walls of freezer, consist of a transmitter board and a receiver board. you could have a problem with these boards, the icemaker itself, a bad water valve, or depending on the model year, a icemaker fill line that can get clogged with ice, but due to a faulty design, a fill tube heater must be installed.

if your bucket is not in the door, but located directly beneath the icemaker, then disregard the electric eye system info and the fill tube heater info as well.

Hi,
The first step you need to do is to turn the water off to the refrigerator so it quits making until you get it fixed.
If your fridge has the control boards in each side of the freezer cabinet that controls the icemaker, then you have a failed board. If you have a standard icemaker with the metal shutoff arm then you have a failed motor module in the icemaker. You can remove the icemaker and unplug the wiring connector from it so you can leave the water on to the dispenser.

After checking the fill tube (line that fills the icemaker) to make sure it's not frozen , pour about 3/4 cup of water into the icemaker . If the icemaker dumps the water but doesn't refill , replace the water inlet valve . If the icemaker doesn't dump the ice , replace the icemaker . ALSO , make sure the fan which cools the compressor is working . Possible when cleaning the coils , a glob of lint or something , was sucked into the fan and blocked the blade from turning .

I have a maytag side by side with water in the door, the cold water works but the icemaker doesn't. No water flow into the icemaker, it doesn't appear to be iced up. Can not tell if the selenoid works.

chack water valve and make sure it is getting water if so and there is ice in ice maker then your heater is bad and not releaseing ice

Pour about 1/2 cup of water into icemaker . If it harvests(dumps) then problem is the water valve.....if not , then icemaker is the problem .

Most icemakers have their own brains so to speak all they need is power, low temp, and water to work.So check the water supply to the unit and use a test cord to check the water valve. It could be not cold enough in the freezer ,check temp and shrouds etc.
once you've ruled out outside influences you've got to dismantle the unit and check microswitches and stats all the while on the lookout for something thats broken lol

I had a Whirlpool Model GD5SHAXNS in which the icemaker quit working about the same time (3 years old). I had water out the dispenser, I found that it was the icemaker itself failed not calling for water to fill it. I replaced it with a icemaker on-line for about $100 and problem fixed. I have been told his is a common problem with the icemaker in this model ref.

theres whats called a cam inside of the ice maker and that is more than like;ly the problem. you can but your own ice maker from place like first service. good luck.
