Kenmore 253.54703405 ice maker does not reset

The ice maker is making ice fine. After a batch of ice is made, the arm does not return completely back to the "ON" position. I have been lifting the arm manually, and letting it drop to reset it. As soon as the arm returns to the "ON" position, the arm slowly raises as it fills with water, and the next batch of ice is made. I have to reset the arm manually after each batch of ice. Is there something I can do without replacing the entire unit?

Kenmore bottom freezer ice maker not working.
  1. Reset the ice maker: Check the manual that came with your fridge for instructions on how to reset the ice maker. Many refrigerator models have a reset button or switch that can be used to reset the ice maker.
  2. Check the water supply: Be sure the water supply to the refrigerator has not been turned off or become obstructed. If the water supply is turned off or obstructed, the ice maker will not make ice.
  3. Check for obstructions: Make sure there are no obstructions in the ice maker that would prevent it from making ice. If there is something blocking the ice maker, remove it and try again.
  4. Check the ice maker components: check the components of the ice maker such as the water inlet valve, ice mold thermostat or heater. The problem could be with one of these components and replacing them might solve the problem.
If trying these steps doesn't solve the problem, it might be time to replace the ice maker.

Every time my ice maker dumps a batch of ice, it lifts the arm and turns off the maker.
That sounds to me like it is working exactly as it is supposed to. Once the tray is full, the arm lifts and it stops making ice. Once you use some of the ice, it will drop the arm and turn the ice maker back on.

My Kenmore S106 626636 Ice Maker is not producding ice.
You probably have the back side of the I/M hitting the fill tube and pushing the white cup at the end of the I/M in some, which would put pressure on the arm and not let the arm fall down free during a cycle.

Ice-cream maker doesn't fit together
Do a 1/2 to 2/3 batch. Put a book and a soup can on top of the mixing arm to keep it down.

The machine does make wonderful Ice cream, however it is noisy and fiddly. Do not try the full batch as it just doesn't work. I find doing 2 half size batches works best. Also find a spare room to run the noisy beast in.
