Changed the water filter now my ice maker won't work
Are you sure you have the RIGHT Filter cartridge? If so, does your system have a water dispenser and if so.. is that working? If not.. some but not all ice makers have a test button under the removable service cover.. If your has that..press it and it should fill your ice tray directly after that.. If it doesn't then.. are you sure you have water back on to the system? can you reinstall the old filiter as a quick test to see if that's the problem?.. Thru a few ideas at you and hope one of them will get you going with ice.. BTW.. some systems take a pretty long time to cycle thru ( fill the air cavities with water , before they show any sign of life..meaning ice cubes)
Hope that helps !
Hi -I understand that your unit is still not producing any ice or dispensing water. Some of the following steps you have already confirmed. I suggest confirmed the steps below and see if any is helpful :
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. When was the last time the filter was changed? Most side-by-side filters are recommended to be change approximately every 6-9 months depending on your water usage and frequency. The ice maker fill tube may be blocked with ice or have a clogged water filter. If so, melt the blockage using a hair dryer-but be careful to not melt any plastic parts!
4. 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.
Hello varjr - If your ice maker has stopped producing ice completely, try checking the following:

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.

changed the filter, got water in the dispenser (after running the air out) but, no ice making. got a heat gun and thawed the water chute out since it was frozen up but, still no ice. don't see a reset button. thanks
My roper refrigerator quit dispensing water. It was still making and dispensing ice. I swaped the switches in the door and still no water dispenses.
