Question about Frigidaire GLRS237ZA Side by Side Refrigerator

Frigidaire GLRS237ZA Side by Side Refrigerator

The icemaker no longer makes ice. I checked the water line running into the rear of the refrigerator and it is carrying water in. The water dispenser functions as well. The icemaker is in the on position. Since the cold water dispenser works, why is it that the water to the icemaker seems not to flow? The refrigerator had not been turned off; it just stopped making ice after I had to manually switch from crushed to cubed ice by adjusting the lever behind the ice holder.

There are two solenoids after the water inlet solenoid, one is for the filtered water and the other is for your ice maker... the green hose that runs up the back of your fridge. ice maker solenoid may be burnt out supplying no water to the ice maker or.... it could be the ice maker control board.

Check the water tube. I understand there is a new tube that is longer. My tube freezes up and the ice maker quits. Also the short tube drips water down the back wall and into the evaporator fan. The fan then starts hitting the ice and makes a loud buzzing noise. After that the fan will clog with ice and stop spinning. This stops the flow of cold air from the evaporator and the freezer temp will start climbing until the ice melts. If you hit the refrigerator door switch five time it will force a defrost cycle and sometimes clear the problem. By this time everything in your freezer will be defrosted.

Whirlpool side by side with water and icemaker. My water works perfectly fine but my ice maker no longer produces ice. It runs but it's not getting any water to make ice. What can be done to fix this?

There are a couple reasons your icemaker will not fill with water.
First thing you want to check for is a frozen fill tube to the icemaker. The easiest way to check for a frozen line is to remove the icemaker. Once the icemaker is removed look for ice in the fill tube. If there is ice in the tube the (water valve) will need to be replaced. You can melt the ice by forcing hot water up the fill tube.
Another reason could be the icemaker is not sending voltage to the water valve. The fix for this issue is to replace the icemaker. Hope this helps you with your whirlpool fridge!

The reason to change the water valve with a frozen water line is because the solenoid is not closing all the way. This allows water to enter the fill tube of the icemaker and freeze based on the temperature.

I have GE side x side cannot get ice to make or water thru the door I have changed ice maker and water valve also have made sure I have water to refrigerator and no frozen lines so don't know

if this box is a 2001 or newer it has a filter in water line. if this is it take filter and bypass that whole filter. also these boxs have main control located back of box and all fuctions go thru this board. If older than 2001 check icemaker were plugs in. You can force ejectors to make the ice maker run. cycle icemaker check for power at water valve. The ice maker valve is the small line

My amana icemaker is no longer making ice

Check water valve at back Its where the water line attaches to it.
Check water pressure
Pour a cup of water in the ice maker, if it ejects ice later then that
valve is probably defective
If it doesnt then the icemaker is defective
Also check temp of freezer should be below 10 degrees
If this was helpful please rate me.

My whirlpool refrigerator model # is no longer making ice consistently it will drop a few cubes every now and then. the lines are clear and no blockage what could be the problem?

Scale builds up in older icemakers and some of the cubes stick and don't eject.
Check your ice maker after it dumps and see if its keeping some of the cubes and
not ejecting them.
There are cleaners for the Icemaker. Call your local Parts Store.
also
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.
Thank you for using fixya

Wont make ice and frozen water running down door

Your inlet tube that goes to the icemaker may be frozen. To Check: Shut off water supply to Fridge, disconnect the water line that goes to the icemaker at top back. Use a flexible item to insert in the water line connection. I used a zip tie. If the flexible item won't all the through to the ice maker, the line is frozen. Thaw out the tube from inside the freezer with a hair dryer. Re-connect everything, you now have ice . . . Solution #2: You may have to replace your "Water Inlet Valve" located at bottom right rear of Fridge. Easy to do, just follow the color codes, be sure and shut off the water.

Icemaker

Do you hear it trying to draw water into the ice tray? If so, there might be an internal problem you can't fix yourself. especially since the fridge is dispencing water. Is the arm inside the ice maker pushe down? This is what tells the ice maker to fill and make the ice.

Let me know if this helps.

Kitchenaid side/by/side refrigerator Model KSCS25INSS01-Auto defrost happening often and ice machine not producing ice

hi there,

the icemaker is not making ice due to the fact that the valve solenoid may need replacing.

check the water line into the icemaker, to make sure that you don't have a water leak.

the reason the fridge is running is due to the fact that it's trying to remove as much warm air out as possible.

i would have a technician look at it.

You can try to advance your icemaker by removing the white cover on your icemaker and turn the smaller gear counterclockwise to advance the icemaker. When the icemaker starts wait until the ejector blade gets to 10 oclock position this is where it calls for water. The test would be unplug the coil on the valve and put a meter lead on each one. If you see 120 volts then replace the valve. If you dont see it it could be the water switch inside the head of icemaker.
