Ice maker,not making ice-have already changed filter?

recheck filter install is water valve on and is ice maker itself on

hello sir

if ur ice maker

Makes no ice

• Check the shutoff arm
• Check the supply valve
• Inspect the water supply line
• Test the shutoff switch
• Check the freezer temperature
• Inspect the ejector gear
• Test the ejector motor
• Test the ice mold heater
• Test the holding switch
• Test the water inlet switch
• Test the thermostat
• Test the water inlet valve

The gear that drives the mechanism that moves the ice out and allows fresh water to come in is damaged. In some cases the ice tray needs to come out so the ice cubes in the system can be removed by letting them actually turn back to water. Once you have cleaned it of old ice, try it again. Most likely a waste of time though.
What I have done to save money is find an old refrigerator someone wants to toss and pull the ice maker out. Chances are they have the same plug and wiring. Better if you just go get a new ice maker unit from where they sell parts for your refrigerator. It is easy to remove. usually about three screws or so. about two on top and one or more on the bottom side.

could have a bad water valve,next time send model number.on some of the ice makers you can pop off the white cover and on the right hand side you'll see to holes close together,you can jump out the ice maker to see if the water valve is sending up enough water to fill the ice maker,stick the end of the wire in each hole,you'll see the middle part start turning,when the theeth of the ice maker are at 9 oclock pull the wire out and watch to see the ice maker fill.if it doesn't fill and you hear the water valve turn on the valve is bad and has to be changed out.let me know how you make out

If you have water sitting in the trays and no action is happening, then i suggest replacing the ice maker complete as these spares are pricey and take a while to get to you , (In the hope that they are correct). On some units there is a small test button. If you have one, push or switch it to activate icemaker. Often this resetting brings the ice maker back on line.

you've already done the first thing i suggest, and that is to change the water filter. But if you still cant get ice made, you have a problem with either your ice maker or your water valve, or an electrical issue in the ice maker system.

I hate to ask the obvious but is your water supply turned back on since the filter change?

• It may be turned off. Look for the wire along the right side of the ice maker that looks a bit like a coat hanger. If the wire is in the raised position, the ice maker is turned off. If so, try one of these:
  
  
  • If your ice maker has a small red plastic lever, lower it to lower the wire.
    
    
  • If there's no plastic lever, simply lower the wire.
    
    
  In either case, the ice maker should begin producing ice again. Also make sure that the temperature is 8 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. If the freezer is too warm, the ice maker won't cycle properly.
  
  
• The ice maker fill tube may be blocked with ice. If so, melt the blockage using a hair dryer-but be careful to not melt any plastic parts! Also replace the water shut-off valve or water-inlet valve, or both, if necessary.
  
  
• The ice maker head assembly may have broken parts. Look to see if the gears are broken. Check to see if the small plastic arms that rest against the ice rake are broken. If the ice maker head assembly is modular and you've found broken parts, you can just replace it.
  
  

Hi,
Here is a tip that I wrote about the reasons why ice makers do not work.

Ice Maker Problems and Ice Maker Troubleshooting

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.


if you already checked this and think it is a different problem then let me know, i will help you figure it out.

check the water valve on the back of the ref. it sends water to the ice maker and water in the door one can work and the other one not
