After having the refridgerator unplugged for a couple hours, the ice maker is not dumping ice. There are ice cubes made, ready to dump. I tried raising and lowering the lever in the ice maker. I also checked the water supply...I am able to fill a glass of water from the water dispensor.
Make sure the freezer is at least 17 degrees or colder (colder is better). If you have a square cover on the end of the ice maker see if you can pull it off and press on the gear face (don't turn just press). That may clean the electrical contact springs and get it working again. Basically if ya got water, 17 degrees or colder you will get ice. Other than that the ice maker motor module is likely bad (broken gear, etc.). Pretty common.
Had this same issue.. guess what something leaking.. we are checking it out right now... No water going into the flow..let you know what we find!!
Make sure there's no "alien" object that got clogged onto the ice dispenser itself.
Mine makes ice and does not dump it... unless the bin is out! I took out the bin to begin trouble shooting and had to stop to answer the phone. While on the phone, I heard the ice drop. Not sure how to fix it yet but it seems like the ice maker is lower than it should be.

Hello....remove the from cover on the ice maker, and adjust the water flow screw inside. Turn the screw in the direction of the (-) negative side by half a turn to start. Adjust as needed. I hope this helps. ;)
SOURCE: Frigidaire Gallery Series Side by Side doesn't crush ice
hi there,
could be that the ice maker arm is getting stuck or may have some frost on it. can you supply the complete model # please?
SOURCE: My ice maker is crushing the ice despite the fact
the bottom of the tray has a rod attached to it that controls a flapper that opens up to allow the ice to pass thru without hitting the cutter or crush blades. this rod goes into a housing at the back of the freezer that has a solenoid switch that activates it to open it up. check to make sure all of these items are free of ice and in their proper position and or not broken. if this all looks good then you may have a bad solenoid switch.

The ice maker is not working: No water comes out into the ice maker, the green light is blinking. The water line is fine we can get water from the front. I have remove all ice in the maker and cleaned it out, replaced the filter/rest. Please advice.
Thanks.
My daughter's Maytag MSD2454GRW side by side refrigerator freezer stopped making ice, but the water in the door still dispenses water.
I checked the ice maker and found that there was no water in the tray. I also notcied that there was some cracking of the black plastic around the heating element that causes the ice to release from the tray so that it can be dumped into the storage tray below. In addition, the element was not secured to the bottom of the unit, so I removed the unit so that it could be taken to the dealers for inspection and testing.
The deaaler sold them a new ice maker kit which included an ice maker, storage tray, hoses, wiring and water valve.
I installed the replacement unit, but the freezer still did not make ice, because the water did not fill the tray. At that point I decided that the water valve could be damaged, so I pulled thr refigerator out and removed the cover to the compressor and valves for the fill and water dispenser. I tested to see that there was power to the control valve. I got a reading of 120.3 vac.
The original valve was a double selonid unit with one controling the fill of the ice tray and the other controls the flow of water to the door.
The replacement valve was a single feed unit, only for the ice maker. I called the dealer and explained what I was seeing. He said the valve was most likely the problem and asked me to return the valve and he sold us a double unit.
I installed the double with no change to the operation. As I said at the beginning, we are getting water to the door dispenser, but no water flows to the ice tray.
I removed the fill hose extension at the top of the refigerator which transports water to the tray to be sure that it is not plugged. It is clean.
The only thing I have not tried is replacing the vertical hose from the fill valve to the large fill extension hose, however, I can see through the tube and it looks clean.
I am out of ideas and out of ice too!!
replaced the filter . we get water but no ice . how do i reset the ice maker to make ice?

REFRIGERATOR SIDE IS WORM - DOES NOT MAKE ICE ON FREEZER SIDE
Hi, Ice maker not filling with water, door is dispensing ok but not filling the ice resevoire. Also there was a clicking sound as if gears jumping over each other. If the ice bin is filled with an outside source of ice, it will dispence ice out of door but will not make new ice? The red light just inside of freezer is flashing twice then is off for a second and blinks two times continously.Any help would be greatly appreciated. We changed ALL our appliences to new S/S in 2005 big mistake!!!! already replaced the microwave at a cost to us of $325.00---- switched out to GE so far so good.
Thanks, R

Our's too dumps one tray of ice after being thawed for a few hours, then drops no more. Ice cubes sitting in the unit so it's not the water line... My husband says "call a repair man!" I'm more of a do-it-yourself-er. Any suggestions?
The ice maker makes ice but does not dump them out. If we push the lever down about 5 minutes later it will dump the ice but we have to keep going back in to manually dump the ice. Any ideas?
