Jenn-air refrigerator not freezing or making ice

Jenn-air side-by-side refrigerator (JDC2289AES) is not freezing but just cool, and the ice maker stopped making ice when in the On position. The freezer worked find, but then may have been left cracked open for a day or so, so it got overworked and now won't freeze. How do I know if a part became faulty or if I need more refrigerant, and how do I add refrigerant?

Before you go crazy just defrost the unit over night and then turn it back on. Possible e that the evaporator froze up due to the open door..Let it stabilize for at least a day and then check to see if all is copacetic.

SOURCE: Regrigerator stopped, now freezer too.

It is due to the defrost timer is not working. Once it is replaced, you should be good for another year. The information is given by the repairman. I have this replaced two days ago. The MayTag part number is: 61005988.

We have a Jenn Air Side-by-Side. Water dispenses without problem, but the ice maker has stopped making ice. Now, when we try to produce ice (by lowering the ice arm), the ice hose pops free of the...

It sounds like the tube you speak of is frozen with ice, so it expanded the tube. Try unplugging the refrigerator and allow or help the ice in the tube to melt. You likely need a new hose, as when water freezes it expands and it likely expanded the hose, which is why it will not stay on securely. ( I don't know without seeing it, but this seems plausible to me)

I have a Jenn-Air side by side refrigerator. JRSD209T. Water fills up the ice shute and runs into the floor. What stays in the freezer freezes in the chute. What do I need to change to fix this problem

From your description I'll gather you're not getting ice cubes either and need to replace the ice maker

 

Part # D7824706Q on the diagram labeled "Lights and Ice maker" it's item 1

This is from Sears so you can order and have it delivered to the house

I just changed the ice maker on my jenn aire ref. JCD2289AES. The old one was leaking everywhere and making a big frozen block of ice . It seemed very simple but, it the cube tray is not filling with water...

there is a solonoid valve at the back of the freezer section (externally) which should release 7 seconds of water into the ice tray to fill it..
the most common cause of leaking ice makers is that the valve freezes up if not much ice has been used.. and you simply need to thaw the freezer out overnight (put the contents in a cool box, or wrap it in lots of bubble wrap/newspaper and cool blankets to keep it frozen)
that aside, there is a wire ice-stopper that goes up and down as the level of the ice rises and falls.. if it is in the raise position, the ioce maker won't do anything.. you can gently press it down, and things should start almost immediately.

The ice maker in my Jenn Air refrigerator stopped working.

Check that there wasn't a clog in the line after replacing the filter. Make sure you get water going to the solenoid, if so, it may either be a clog in the solenoid or a fluke that it's no longer working.

Jenn-Air refrigerator is not making ice but it's dispensing water

It can take up to 24 hours for a new ice maker to make ice.  Check it tomorrow.

Icemaker is not freezing ice, freezer not freezing food,

The ice maker won't work if the freezer is warmer than 17 degrees so that's not an issue till you get the freezer cold again. I would guess that your unit is stuck in the defrost cycle. This could be the defrost timer failing. See if you can find the defrost timer in your unit and advance it by hand if possible. http://www.partselect.com/PartSearchResults.aspx?modelnum=jcd2295hes&mfgmodelnum=&fkmfgid=1&hint=defrost
