Have a side by side kenmore elite with acceler-ice button. The acceler-ice now goes on and off by itself, sometimes radidly, sometimes once in awhile. It beeps each time it goeson/off. Can I reset?

Have you ever replaced the water filter? It may be clogged. Does it make ice?

Change the water control valve because it is not shutting off once the ice maker is full. The valve is sticking open slightly once power is off to water valve. What is the model number of your Kenmore Elite Model numbers for Kenmore most times look like this example=> 321.456789 Sea Breeze
Kenmore Model Numbers

if the wire is green i would suspect it to be a safety ground yo attach where the fan mount attaches to the body of the refrigerator. this is assuming the original fan only had a two wire hookup. Ed

fill the Ice Maker with a 1/4 cup of water using a turkey baister. wait 2 hours and see what happens.

Look behind the freezer rear trim panel for frosted/iced evap. coils and thaw if necessary.

Dear tnsmarchini

You said, Kenmore elite, ice maker in door...........................???What????????

And we need more detail than Ice maker in door.
What does your ice maker do?

i have the same fridge, you have to press and hold the Lock button and it will unlock the ice/water for you.

When you push the ice dispensing lever, you should be able to hear the micro-switch clicking. If no click, the switch is faulty. The auger motor which is activated by the lever could also be faulty. This is the motor that causes the auger in the ice bucket to rotate one way for crushed ice and the other way for cubes. The auger could also be jammed. Try switching between crushed and cubes to unjam the auger. Empty the ice bucket and start again.

Should be no longer than 24hrs. Is the freezer good and cold.. has to reach a certain temp before icemaker activates. Might take little longer if you put a lot of warm things in freezer or refrig. when you made the change. Is there any water or ice in the icemaker itself? Water may not be getting to icemaker call them back out if it dont work soon thats what warrantys for :0)
