I have a Kenmore side by side refrigerator-Freezer. The ice maker stopped making ice. There is an "off-On" switch in the freezer along with a red light. The light keeps blinking. Can you give me an idea what is wrong?

Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly.

Here is a Job Aid that will help you:

Testing the optics starts on page 25. You must follow the instructions verbatim as far as time lines or you will have to start the test over.
NOTE: There are 2 types of Optics. Pre 2002 and 2002 Optics. Make sure your performing that optic test that is a match for your unit.

Take a look at the charts on page 30. From here is appears that either the optics are blocked or
the emitter board has failed. Do the tests and follow the troubleshooting procedures to confirm this.

Thanks for choosing FixYa,
Kelly

The ice maker makes a loud racket unless the freezer door is open.

You have an object jammed in ice makers path. The freezer door has something on it that is pushing into the ice maker perhaps.

We have a Jenn-Air Refrigerator/Freezer (Model #JRSD226) and the ice maker has stopped working.

Check for blockage in the water line in the freezer. If so, defrost it. Might need a new water valve. Maybe a bad ice maker too.
Another possibility is that it's not cold enough in the freezer. Should be below +10F.

Ice maker icing up

Sounds like you may have a couple of problems here. The frost build up could be from a bad door seal. Moist air can be drawn in and collect on the inside. As for the water temp, it sounds like the water line connected to the refrigerator could be tapped off a hot water line. It needs to be connected to a potible cold water line.

Water does not seem to be flowing into ice maker.

Hi and I hope this will help. You can manually turn the timer and see if any water is dispensed into the ice cube tray . If no water is dispensed check if the valve is any good . A solenoid in the valve opens to allow water in to the ice maker. Sometimes timers stick too.
