Ice maker I can hear water being pulled into the ice maker but it never freezes it or drops any ice. Is the lever on the side of the ice maker supposed to be up or down.

There are two sides to a water control valve Cindy. One side for the dispenser and one side for the ice maker. Feel inside the ice maker slots for any remaining ice cubes. If the ice maker has no ice fill with tap water and if after the water freezes and drops the ice into the ice container and then does not refill with water the problem points to the dual water control valve. If the ice just sits in the ice maker and does nothing then this points to a defective ice maker. What is the model number of the refrigerator?

APPLIANCE 911

I believe I answered this one on another page of unsolved problems HERE. Thanks for the model number. If the ice slots inside the ice maker are empty try pouring tap water in the slots and allow the water to freeze. If after the water freezes the ice drops into the ice bucket and the ice maker does not refill this would indicate that the side of the=> W10408179 Water Inlet Valve is defective on the side that controls ice maker water supply. If the ice maker just sits there and does nothing this would point to a defective ice maker. Depending what is wrong with the ice maker will determine what parts are replaced. Here is a list of those parts here=> Kenmore Refrigerator Model 106.51552104 Ice Maker Parts and if need you may be able to find a complete ice maker replacement by asking. Most people don't like replacing ice maker parts. I am here should you have questions or comments, Sea Breeze

Does the ice maker have ice inside the slots but will not drop the ice? What is the correct model number of your refrigerator? If the slots are empty try filling with tap water and once the water freezes and drops the ice and then does not refill with water that will point to the water control valve. If the ice maker does nothing it will be the ice maker that will need to be replaced. For the model JCD2389G uses the=> D7824706Q Ice Maker Assembly and the water control valve is=> 12001892 Water Inlet Valve I am here if you have questions....Sea Breeze

There are two sides to the water control valve=> WR57X10051 Dual Water Control Valve It's possible the side for the ice maker has failed. Try filling the ice maker with tap water and allow it to freeze. If the ice drops after freezing and the ice maker does not refill this will point to needing replace the WR57X10051 Dual Water Control Valve If the ice maker does nothing then that points to the ice maker itself=> WR30X10093 Ice Maker Assembly I will be here should you have questions, Thanks Sea Breeze

ice maker bad replace it

Hi, Yes you can. When the icemaker cycles, do you hear the inlet valve buzzing? If you blew through the line that goes from the inlet valve to the icemaker and it is open, sounds like the inlet valve is bad.

You need a service guy to look at it. It could be water leaking or a simple case that the flap isnt sealing and the ice melts and then freezes the flap open

mine does the same from time to time....have you tried pulling out the ice tray and seeing if it is clogged??? sometimes ice will bunch up and not go through the dispenser...remove them from the tray....

Check the water valve at the back of fridge. Are you getting water at the dispenser on the door? If so, the water valve may not be bad, but sometimes water will freeze in the tube that fills the icemaker. Pull it out from the back of the fridge and check it.Hope this helps !

Depending on the ice maker style, they typically work off a motor timer. The timer motor rotates to set up the ice making process... starting with letting water into an empty ice mold tray, allowing ample time for that water to freeze and then to rotate that mold so that the cubes fall out into the bin. In conjunction with that process, a small heater is turned on to release the frozen cubes from the tray. The 'ice tray full' lever signals the system to stop making ice so you may want to verify that the lever is down and not causing the ice maker to stop, If that's down then I suggest you monitor the position of the motor gearset underneath an access cover. With power applied, the gears should rotate and cycle thru an ice making process. If it does and ice fails to fall out, your heater may be defective. Hope that helps...
