Ice maker is not working. I hear water running to ice maker but no ice is being produced

Question 1

My kenmore refigerator ice maker stopped making ice.

Could be that the solenoid that feeds water to the ice maker is not working properly.

Also make sure that the freezer temp is at least 10 degrees or less - if not the ice making cycle will not commence.

Freezer Compartment OK, but ice maker will not produce ice.

Could be 1 of 2 problems. Do you hear the ice maker actually run and turn at all?? If yes, then it is probably a bad water inlet valve on the back of the refrigerator. It is the plastic valve that the house water line hooks to. A bad valve won't let the ice maker fill but it should still try and run. If you never hear it actually run, it could be the ice maker itself is bad and not running.

Not producing ice. I've already checked the lines at the wall and the line that comes in at the freezer. They are not blocked. However, still not producing ice.

Check the following:

- The freezer temperature, it needs to be below 10 degrees F to cycle.

- If the freezer is cold enough lift the bail arm (wire on the right side of the ice maker in the freezer) until it clicks and stays up. Close the freezer and wait 20 minutes. Come back and lower the bail arm, watch the ice maker and you should see it cycle, you will notice the white 'fingers' rotating very slowly. Make sure the room is quiet, after the cycle runs for a bit, (minute or so) watch for the 'fingers' to be straight up in the 12 o'clock position, you should hear a buzz coming from behind the refrigerator for about 7 seconds. If you hear this sound then the ice maker is working and the temperature is ok. If you do not hear the buzz the most likely suspect is that the coil on the water valve in the back is bad, you will need your model number to find the right part.

Ice maker not making ice. do have water, no ice

The ice maker has a problem The ice maker is a separate appliance within the freezer section. Please see the How things Work section of our website to learn about the normal functioning of ice makers. Some common problems with ice makers are:

The ice maker has completely stopped producing ice
The ice maker is producing ice poorly
The ice maker has completely stopped producing ice Check to see whether the ice maker has been turned off. Here's how to check. Look for a wire along the right side of the ice maker that looks a bit like a coat hanger. If this wire is in the raised position, the ice maker is turned off. On some units you simply lower the wire to the down position to turn the ice maker on. On others, you lower a small red plastic lever to lower the wire. If the wire is in the proper position check the freezer temperature, it should be between 0-8 degrees Fahranheit. If it is warmer than 10-12 degrees, the ice maker may not produce any ice. Check your door seals and thermostat, repair/replace as necessary.

The ice maker is producing ice poorly When an ice maker is producing ice poorly--when it produces just a few cubes or none, or when the cubes are too small--it's usually because of a clogged water line or a defective water inlet valve.

First, check the water line attached to the back of the refrigerator for good water flow. To do that, first turn off the water supply valve. Then remove the water line from the back of the refrigerator. Next, place the water line into a bucket and momentarily turn the water valve back on to test the flow. If the flow is poor, you need to repair, clean, or replace the tubing or the shut-off valve that supplies the water. If the flow is good, you may have to replace the water inlet valve.

There's an ice- or water-dispensing problem The ice and water-dispensing system of your refrigerator is quite complex. Many components work together to provide the ice and water. Aside from a simple problem of a leaky water tube or a jammed ice chute, most other components are not user serviceable. We suggest that you contact a qualified appliance repair technician for such repairs
