I just moved my side by side and hooked up the water line. I have water to the dispenser but it doesn't seem like there is any water running into the ice maker. Does it take a while??

There should be a stop control near the icemaker where it collects ice in the tray. It should be an L-shaped lever. move it to the stop position.

Can be clogged water passing line or faulty water valve.But if you have already checked the water passing line and it seems clear, then its most probably the water valve.---------

The ice maker not working: ---

Its the problem of water inlet valve. It's a dual valve. This valve has two tubes in it. One for water dispenser and one for ice maker chamber. The one side of valve is working, but other side of the valve is not working. The valve is got stuck in one position

This will help. Thanks. Helpmech.

Where you hook the house water line is to the water inlet valve which is a one in two out solonoid controlled valve. One side goes to the water dispenser in the door and the other hooks to the ice maker connection.

So I suspect the long water line you are talking about has had the lines switched at the valve and needs reversed. The long line probably goes up the back of the unit and connects to the ice maker. The one for the water dispenser should hook to the water chiller resevoir and then to the water dispenser.

how many cubic ft is this model kenmore sideby side

keep pressing the water dispenser for a minute or so until the water resevoir fills up.

there is a length of line that runs thru the refrigerator, If it drops below frezing where this is located the line will freeze causing a blockage.

recheck the electical connection at upper frz door hindge sometime a wire could be pushed out but check to see that the control lock was not set by accident

Had the same problem. The water line from the valve to the ice maker was cracked due to heat from the compressor.

The water valve is on the back of the refrigerator. The water line connects directly to that valve. If there is no line available then you will need to run one from a cold water line in the plumbing using a drill type (1/4") saddle valve on that pipe. Hope this helps.
