posted by nytrogyrll29 on Jun 26, 2008


i have a kitchenaid superba side by side. the ice maker is not sucking the water up in it to make ice. the water dispencer is working fine. repair man came, and replaced a switch when the fridge stopped cooling. it fixed that problem, but now the ice maker wont get water to make ice. the arms move around to crack the ice out like normal, but no water is being used to make ice. i used to be able to hear it pull the water up the tube. it no longer does it. please help!!! its hot in texas :)

my kitchen aid does not dispense water using the water lever, but does dispense water when the ice lever is depressed; i removed the water filter and tried again....also unplugged...no result

The refrigerator has a duel water valve, one for the ice-maker and one for the water dispenser (if equipped). The valve that the ice-maker relies on may be bad, or it could be the ice-maker itself. 
Another thing that could cause it would be the temperatures in the freezer. The ice-maker will not call for water until it reaches under 15 degrees. In addition, check the water tube behind the ice-maker to make sure it is not frozen, blocking more water from entering. The water does not go to the ice-maker or thru the filter unless the ice-maker turns on the water valve.
