Check Temp inside freezer. It has to be down to about 10 or 15 degrees See if water is in icemaker. Pour water in Ice Maker and wait to see if it ejects. If it ejects theb you need to replace water valve in rear bottom of fridge(Its the part that attaches to water line out of wall) If it doesn't eject then it is a faulty Ice Maker. If its leaking same part needs replaced.The water valve at the bottom rear of fridge. Thank you for using fixya Leo Ponder Please rate me if this helped.
The sadle valve is located on the copper pipe where the tube attaches to your water pipe in the house. Shut the water off at the saddle valve. Remove the hose from the rear of the frig on the water inlet valve and put it into a pail. Tunr the water on at the saddle valve and see how fast the water comes out. Some times if the saddle valve is installed on the bottom of the copper pipe they will get corrosive and restrict water flow. Open and close the valve several times to make sure it is clear and reinstall the hose to the rear of the frig. Turn the water back on to see if it works.
from the back of the frig follow the water line to where hooks to the house water line once you find it turn it off all the way and tightly then open it all the way up.......because if its located on the bottom of the pipe sometimes it plugs up and you'll clear it this way
If its got a filter under the frig. just hook your water to the house water line. If not then put a filter in the cabnet next to your frig. Or in a handy place to get to. And you will have to hold your water lever for a long time till all the air gets out of the line. there is a extra long hose you must fill up in your frig side. It is used to keep cold water ready to drink.
Is the ice unit turned on? I pushed the off button by mistake and PAID someone to "turn it back on for me" The guy laughed all the way to the bank :( Also he said a good place to start , before I call next time, is have you checked to see if there is a ice cube frozen(caught) in the top.Pull out the ice catcher(bin) and check for the frozen cube of ice. Be sure to turn off the ice maker first or it may drop ice when you least expect it! My fridge is the origional for house (18 yrs) and after I've done this check list, the problem is fixed. Just thought I mention it. Good luck!!!
There is a lever in the ice bin that detects when it is full. if that lever is locked in the"up" position, the maker stops making ice. Many times a previous owner or a shipper will turn off the icemaker this way. especially if the water to the home or freezer is turned off, so it won't keep trying to make ice.
the line that gives water to the ice maker, every time the water comes down it lives a drip of water that turns to ice blocking the line, get some hot water and a towel and place the hot wet towel on top of the line intel it melts the ice in side the line. it happens to my frige at list once a year. if that is not the problem the valve that supplies water tho the ice maker needs replacing, it's behind the frige at the bottom, where the line coming from the house meets the frige.
You may have a problem with the computer control board in the ice maker. Try this. Turn off the icemaker for about 2 minutes.
Turn on the ice maker and press the clear button. Press and hold this button for 12 seconds to get it to force extract. This will confirm that the motors will work and push the ice cubes out. Afterwards, let it run by itself. If it still doesn't make ice, you will need to replace the icemaker.
check the flow from the water line of the house to the water valve of the frig not connected to the valve it should fill a large container fairly quickly
if it does the problem is with the water valve of the frig
if it does not fill the container fairlly quickly then the problem is the plumbing of the house to the frig valve
