Ice maker not making ice

it takes a couple hours for ice and not as long for water to chill .

The water and ice maker are two seperate water control valves built onto the same. Your water control valve for the ice maker may be defective and require that you change the set. Fill ice maker with tap water and allow the water to freeze. If the ice maker dumps the ice into ice bin and then does not refill then this points to the water control valve. If the ice maker does nothing after water freezes then the problem is the ice maker. Send me a model number and I will look up the part numbers for you, Thanks, Sea Breeze

If the cube slots are empty try filling with tap water and allow to freeze while arm is down. If cubes drop and the ice maker does not refill with water then the dual water control valve=> 67005154 Dual Water Control Valve Another possibility is the ice maker thermostat pictured here=> MZD2669KES Ice Maker Parts Breakdown item 13 in photo. If the test fails then it is sometimes better to buy the complete ice maker=> 7824706Q Ice maker Module

There are usually 2 small solenoid valves that are used to control water. Both are generally installed at the rear close to the bottom of the fridge. One of the solenoids controls the water flow for drinks and the other is to control water flow to the ice maker. You can determine which is which by tracing the water supply tubes from the freezer compartment to the solenoid or by process of elimination. The latter method requires that you feel for movement (clicking) or heat on the water dispenser solenoid while someone starts to fill a glass with water from the fridge.

Before going any further, make sure that the ice cube detection arm in the freezer is not up. Gently push the arm down if it is. When ice cubes are ready, the ice maker turns on a small heater to break the bond of the ice cubes to the cube mold. The arm is lifted up and out of the way. Then the mechanical fingers wipe or push on the cubes to dislodge them from the ice cube mold and they fall into the container. The arm is then lowered again and rests on top of the ice collected in the container. The position of the arm when resting on the ice cubes determines whether or not any more ice cubes are made.

If the arm is hanging down, then ice cube production should be on. The problem may be either a faulty solenoid valve (mentioned above), switch in the ice maker assembly - the detection arm in particular or wiring between.

if the water runs constantly when you turn the water on its your valve but if it does it periodacally it probably your icemaker

check to make sure that the tube that fills the ice maker is not froozen upo and causoing this problem

can you pull the cover off the ice maker to see if the gears are bad?let me know more-mike

is there a filter on the water line? if so check and replace as neccesary-usually all water going into a fridge ice maker is filtered if it was installed properly for fresh tasting ice......if not there usually is a valve where the water line connects to one of your houses water line ....be careful with that but make sure it is all the way open......maybe try cleaning or replacing the lines if it comes down to it. let me know what happens.

my ice maker stopped making ice. Green light is on. Drinking water is ok

make sure wire is in down position this is like the on and wire up is off
